The role

As a risk analyst, you identify, measure and monitor the risks that could cost your organisation money: credit, market, liquidity and operational risk. You analyse portfolios and data, build indicators and stress tests, check that limits and regulatory ratios are respected and write reports for management and risk committees.

Skills employers ask for

  • Credit and operational risk
  • Basel framework and prudential ratios
  • Stress testing
  • Excel, SQL or Python
  • Power BI dashboards
  • Risk reporting

Who is hiring

Commercial banks, microfinance institutions, insurers, development finance institutions, fintechs and large corporates hire risk analysts. Roles are mostly on-site or hybrid at head offices, and some modelling and reporting work for regional groups or diaspora-focused lenders is done remotely.

Background and career path

Risk analysts usually hold a master's in finance, statistics, actuarial science or economics, and some prepare the FRM or PRM. They grow into senior risk analyst, risk manager and chief risk officer.
