Interim Deputy CRO

As a Chief Risk Officer steers the big picture of Risk management for a Financial Services organisation, a Deputy CRO can be vital in a large business for supporting, embedding and enacting good Risk practices.

One of the largest groups of Financial Services Mortgage & Protection Networks in the UK contacted Kind Consultancy seeking an Interim Deputy Chief Risk Officer. The organisation had recently acquired a new company and needed extra specialist resource to support the CRO in managing the Enterprise Risk framework and function during the transitional period.

Kind Consultancy immediately contacted one of the Kind Agile Solutions bench of expert contractors who we knew had a substantial Risk history including specialist Enterprise Risk work within the mortgage sector. The candidate also had a track-record of successful framework design, making us confident they could handle all aspects of the position. As a member of the KAS bench, the Kind team already knew that this person was currently available for work and had a familiarity with their professional history.

We connected the client to our selected contractor and within 2 weeks of taking the initial brief, the client made an offer, the candidate accepted and was at work the following week, with a total turnaround time of 3 weeks. The client has been very happy with the contractor’s work and has repeatedly extended their contract.
