Enterprise Risk Jobs FAQs
Are enterprise risk jobs in demand?
Enterprise risk is a mature sector and has seen steady demand for candidates in recent years. Our
2025 Risk and Quants Salary Survey found that just 13% of professionals in enterprise risk jobs were 'not confident at all' in the current state of the hiring market, with regulatory pressures continuing to underpin underlying demand in the sector.
What is the future of enterprise risk?
Digital resilience and third-party risk management continue to be major drivers of hiring for enterprise risk teams, especially following the implementation of DORA. As organisations continue to invest in operational resilience and more robust reporting, we expect enterprise risk jobs to remain in strong demand in the coming years.
Are enterprise risk roles demanding?
Enterprise risk jobs face a wide range of demands, from regulatory requirements through to internal operational objectives. Changing regulations in particular are forcing risk teams to dedicate significant resources to project work alongside day-to-day risk management and reporting. This combination of tight time constraints from both within a business and externally, mean enterprise risk jobs can place pressure on professionals in the space.
Trends in Enterprise Risk Jobs
Enterprise risk jobs are changing fast, driven by a number of key developments in the sector:
- We are seeing demand for operational and enterprise risk jobs shift over time, with increasing hiring outside of traditional financial services roles. This is giving candidates a greater pool of potential roles, particularly in sectors such as healthcare and technology
- Historically, demand for enterprise risk jobs has been driven by regulatory requirements. However, in recent years, we have also seen a broader shift, as organisations recognise the value in a risk function that can provide greater value to the organisation
- Risk contract jobs have enjoyed a period of relative buoyancy since 2025. In the UK, the most cited day rate for risk and quants contractors is between £900-£999
