Senior Research Manager

Are you passionate about facilitating insight‑led discussions and turning them into meaningful, practical outcomes? Would you like to lead delivery in a collaborative, Research and Information team, working with the world’s leading banks and insurers?

ORX is a fast‑growing, not‑for‑profit global industry association with a community of over 140 banks and insurers worldwide. By working closely with our members and subscribers, we develop leading research, insight and tools that advance operational and non‑financial risk management across the financial services sector.

At ORX, our values shape how we work and the impact we create. We are committed to delivering impactful insight that sets high standards and makes a meaningful difference for our members.

In this Senior Manager role within the Research and Information Delivery team, you will own the end‑to‑end delivery of high‑quality research and insight – facilitating discussions with members, challenging thinking and turning data and dialogue into practical outcomes. You will bring curiosity, actively explore new ideas and improve how insight is developed and shared, while empowering others by working collaboratively and creating an inclusive, respectful environment where people can do their best work.

The Senior Research Manager is a high‑profile, delivery focused role, working closely with risk practitioners and leaders across the global operational risk community.

The role leads the delivery of research and information outputs for a defined group of member banks and insurers, with a strong focus on effective facilitation, communication and stakeholder engagement. Importantly, this is a role for a manager who owns delivery – accountable for producing high‑quality outputs on time, to standard, and for motivating teams to turn insight into tangible member value.

The role holder will be expected to travel internationally from time to time, as per business requirements.

• Communication and facilitation
• Demonstrable success in programme and project leadership and delivery
• Experience in understanding advanced concepts and translating into business solutions

Experience working in the financial sector or risk management would be beneficial but isn’t essential for this role. We need someone who can confidently facilitate discussions on risk management and measurement practices and have the intellectual curiosity to explore and create meaningful, valuable insights for our members.

As we manage and have control of highly confidential data at ORX, the successful candidate will be subject to background checks.

We have a great culture and we’re proud of our people and the high engagement demonstrated year after year in our employee survey. We recognise and reward hard work, whilst respecting work‑life balance. Our hybrid working sees our team getting together when necessary. Days in the office are a minimum of 15 per quarter, which enables our teams to establish a working pattern that suits us, and you.

We recognise that family time, being there for the school run and enjoying life at home is as important as collaborating with others, socialising as a team, and maximising the informal learning and innovation that happens when we’re together in the same place.
