Risk Management maintains high profile

Looking for risk management jobs in Dubai or Abu Dubai or UAE? Barclay Simpson is an established recruiter of risk professionals. Working from Chief Risk Officer level down we have successfully filled assignments in all areas of the financial services sector.

Risk management recruitment was not immune from the effects of the global economic downturn and during 2009 there was a significant decline in the demand for risk managers across the financial services sector. During 2010, however, confidence has been returning across the sector as financial constraints have been alleviated. Once again risk management is raising its profile.

Risk is now high on the corporate agenda as many financial services institutions are looking to develop their risk management capability, not only to better protect themselves but also to maximise profitability. Risk recruitment activity is gathering pace, particularly at leadership level, where commercially minded Chief Risk Officers and Heads of Risk, with the ability to integrate risk into the business and genuinely add value, are sought after. The traditional areas of credit, market and operational risk have had a rise in fortunes across all areas of financial services and we would expect this to continue for the foreseeable future.
