Risk Management Consultant in Birmingham

You don’t move roles often. You’re good at what you do. You’re trusted by clients and left to get on with the job. So when something new crosses your radar, it has to be for the right reasons. This role isn’t about fixing what’s broken. It’s about timing and opportunity.

We’re working with a global insurance broking and risk advisory business that is relatively new to the UK market but already carries real weight. Internationally, it places several $bn of premium and continues to invest heavily in its risk proposition. In the US and other territories, its approach to risk management is technology-led, practical and well embedded with clients. That capability is now being rolled out in the UK, with senior leadership already in place and consultants appointed in key locations. This hire will join the Midlands office and be part of that early UK build-out.

Why this might be worth your time:

• You’d be joining early enough to shape how things are done, not just follow a script.
• Your experience and judgement will count — this isn’t a tick-box environment.
• You’ll work with tools and systems that already exist and are proven, not “coming soon”.
• You stay close to clients and the real work, without layers of internal noise.
• You build longer-term options as the UK proposition grows around you.
• You get the stability of a large global platform, without UK structures being over-engineered.
• This is not a risky start-up move. It’s an established business putting serious focus behind its UK risk management offering.

The work itself:

This is a hands-on, delivery-led role for someone who knows their way around clients and risk. You’ll be responsible for:

• Delivering risk management and health & safety audits.
• Producing clear, useful reports clients actually read and use.
• Carrying out gap analysis against legislation and recognised standards.
• Completing fire risk assessments.
• Supporting clients with practical risk improvement plans.
• Working alongside broking colleagues where risk insight adds value.

You’ll manage your own diary, your own clients and your own output. Micromanagement isn’t part of the deal.

What tends to work well here:

• Solid experience in risk management and/or health & safety within insurance or advisory.
• Confidence dealing with clients without leaning on job titles or process.
• Clear communication — plain English, not templates.
• CII and/or IRMI qualifications preferred (or genuinely working towards them).
• Someone comfortable being trusted to get the job done.

If you’ve been with your current employer for years and are well treated, that’s not a red flag — it’s exactly the background expected.

Package:

• Salary up to £60,000 (flexible depending on experience).
• Bonus.
• Private medical insurance.
• Additional benefits in line with a growing UK business.
• Remote, external role with a Midlands base.

Next step:

If you’re actively looking, great. If you’re just curious and want to understand what this could mean for you longer term, that’s just as valid. Either way an initial conversation will be straight, confidential and useful — no hard sell. If this sounds like something you’d regret not exploring, now’s the time to ask the question.
