• • Elliptic Enterprises Limited is seeking a highly analytical and detail-oriented Risk and Compliance Analyst to join our dynamic team. This pivotal role is instrumental in supporting the robust analysis of risks and the meticulous implementation of controls, ensuring adherence to stringent regulatory requirements and client-specific control frameworks. You will be a key contributor to driving Elliptic's continuous growth and enhancing the maturity of our risk and compliance processes, enabling us to better tailor our innovative products for clients operating within complex and highly regulated markets. Your expertise will be crucial in supporting the ongoing development of our existing frameworks and actively participating in the creation of novel working methodologies and business strategies that are fundamental to Elliptic's overarching strategic objectives.
• • As a member of a compact yet highly active team within a rapidly scaling business, it is essential that you embody a growth mindset. This means demonstrating a genuine care for your colleagues and the business, a proactive willingness to roll up your sleeves, effectively clear any impediments, and foster collaborative efforts to facilitate our collective growth. We understand that working in a scale-up environment can be demanding, but it is also incredibly rewarding. We are committed to your professional development and are looking for an individual who not only possesses the skills to excel in the current role but also has the ambition and potential to grow, take on more responsibility, and achieve greater accomplishments within Elliptic.
• • In this role, you will be deeply involved in supporting the Enterprise Risk Management Framework (ERMF) processes. This includes actively contributing to activities aimed at improving and maturing the existing business-wide ERMF processes and procedures. You will collaborate closely with stakeholders across various departments to conduct comprehensive risk assessments, articulating operational and tactical risks to the business through the effective use of our risk management tools. Furthermore, you will partner with department heads to design and implement controls to mitigate identified risks, establishing monitoring processes to rigorously assess control design and effectiveness.
• • A significant aspect of your role will involve analyzing risk data, communicating risk concentrations, and reporting on changing risk scores to management through dedicated risk forums and committees. You will also play a vital part in developing risk policies and procedures, and in creating and delivering essential risk training and awareness programs to colleagues throughout the organization, fostering a strong risk-aware culture.
• • Beyond risk management, you will be instrumental in developing and managing Elliptic's organizational compliance framework. This requires a detailed understanding of relevant regulatory requirements and a commitment to staying abreast of evolving laws and regulations. You will be responsible for developing and implementing compliance policies and procedures, and for meticulously maintaining accurate records of all compliance activities and findings. Utilizing the ERMF, you will identify areas of non-compliance and implement monitoring mechanisms to measure the effectiveness of controls across the business.
• • Your responsibilities will extend to conducting internal audits of control design and effectiveness, identifying any ineffective controls, and reporting the associated risks. You will monitor adherence to risk management policies and procedures. A key focus will also be on supporting client compliance processes by capturing and monitoring client-required controls, and assisting with client audit processes by providing necessary evidence to support compliance claims. Your ability to translate complex risk and compliance issues into clear, understandable formats will be paramount in these interactions.
• • We are looking for someone with a keen eye for detail and a solid grasp of applying industry frameworks to business risk and compliance processes. The ideal candidate will possess the ability to operate effectively within a regulatory framework and articulate its potential as a catalyst for continuous improvement. Demonstrable creativity and a strong commitment to future-proofing our services and delivery in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment are highly valued. You should be a self-starter with the capacity to lead and drive change within an organization, possessing excellent communication skills, both written and verbal. The ability to build strong relationships and influence decisions with both internal and external stakeholders is crucial. Familiarity with global data protection regulations and frameworks, data governance principles, and experience within the financial services sector and its applicable regulatory frameworks would be advantageous. Ultimately, we seek an individual who thrives on collaborating with others to solve complex problems and contribute to Elliptic's success.
