Operational Risk Manager - BANKING Cardiff £50,000–£60,000 +bonus + benefits.A specialist property lender with big ambitions — and a seat at the table to help shape its future. We're working with a fast-growing, well-capitalised UK bank that's carved out a strong reputation in specialist short-term property lending — bridging, development finance, commercial and residential — funded through its own retail savings book.

You'll report directly into the Chief Risk Officer — a senior leader with a heavyweight background across major global banks and asset managers — who's building a small, high-calibre risk function and is looking for someone proactive, relationship-focused and ready to make the role their own.
