With our focus on financial services and a data-driven search process, we fill even hard-to-find profiles fast and precisely.

At a glance

  • What we fill: risk manager to head of risk / CRO
  • Market salary (budget): approx. €65,000 – €110,000; CRO €130,000+
  • What matters: Solvency II, risk modelling, ORSA, integrity
  • Difficulty to fill: high – tight specialist market
  • Avg. time-to-hire: around 89 days

Why this position is hard to fill

Risk managers with sound Solvency II experience are scarce and usually in permanent roles – they rarely search actively. Through our data-driven multi-channel search process we approach passively searching top talent discreetly and on equal footing.

What to look for when hiring

Beyond technical depth (Solvency II, ORSA, SCR, risk modelling), personality is decisive: a strong risk function needs integrity and assertiveness towards the board and business units. We assess both – professional and cultural fit.

What the role must deliver

The role typically owns these tasks:

  • Risk identification: assessment of technical, market and operational risks.
  • Solvency II: ORSA, SCR calculation and regulatory reporting.
  • Risk steering: limits, guidelines and risk strategies.
  • Governance & advisory: internal control system and decision support for the board.

What to budget for the position

Market budgets range from approx. €65,000 to €110,000; a head of risk or CRO from approx. €130,000 plus variable pay. For an individual estimate, use our salary calculator.
