The Right Profile
We're looking for a Risk professional to join our second line of defence (2LoD), sitting within Syfe's Legal, Risk & Compliance (LRC) function and supporting our risk management obligations primarily across Singapore and Hong Kong, with support to our Australia entity as required, as Syfe scales across these markets. Risk operates independently of the business it oversees, providing objective challenge and assurance across our core risk domains: third-party risk management, fraud risk, incident management, business continuity, and new product approval.

Support third-party risk and business continuity activities, including reviews, evidence-gathering, and keeping registers and records current and complete.
Act as secretary for risk committee meetings, coordinating papers, minutes, and tracking of actions to closure.
Framework Adoption & Stakeholder Engagement
Help embed and operationalise our risk frameworks across the business, for example the New Product Approval (NPA), incident management, and third-party risk processes: coordinating reviews, keeping approvals and actions moving, and coaching stakeholders so these become part of how teams work.
Support the roll-out of risk frameworks through training, simple how-to material, and hands-on support to first-line teams, so requirements are understood and followed in practice, not just on paper.
Act as an approachable point of contact for the business on day-to-day risk queries across Singapore and Hong Kong, and Australia where…
