About the Role:
We are looking for an analytical and detail-oriented Risk and Compliance Analyst. The role will be responsible for supporting the analysis of risk and implementation of controls in line with regulatory and client control frameworks. The role requires excellent critical thinking skills, strong analytical skills, and the ability to work independently.
You will be helping drive Elliptic’s continued growth and maturity of its risk and compliance processes in order to better tailor our products for clients within complex and regulated markets. You will support the continued development of existing frameworks and will be involved in the development of new ways of working and business, which will be instrumental to Elliptic’s overall strategy.
You will be working in a small but busy team, within a rapidly scaling business and it is important that you have that same growth mentality. This means you will care about your colleagues and our business, have a willingness to roll up your sleeves, clear any blockers and work collaboratively to enable our growth. Like most scale-ups, it will be busy and rewarding!
Finally, we want you to grow with us, so we are looking for someone that can do what we need now but also has the potential to be more and do more.
