About the role

The role is an interesting and rewarding opportunity for an enthusiastic and proactive individual interested in supporting and delivering projects that will help solve current operational and non-financial risk measurement challenges faced by leading institutions in the global financial services industry.

The individual will contribute across ORX’s risk measurement programme, working as part of a close-knit team to support projects, perform data analysis, deliver a range of written outputs and support with engaging with ORX member firms.

Research activities include:

  • Benchmarking and best practice collection exercises
  • Virtual calls and in-person events.
  • Original research studies, including qualitative and quantitative analysis

The research analyst will help design and build surveys and use tools such as Excel and R to analyse and visualise data which, together with the individual’s strong writing skills, will help us to communicate research findings in coherent and engaging ways. An important aspect of this role will be keeping track of and promoting engagement with ORX’s Analytics Working Group and CCAR Community.

Strong communication skills are essential to the delivery of the above alongside excellent time management and the ability to work as part of a team. The role will require the research analyst to engage with and effectively communicate technical financial concepts (e.g. regression, statistical models, financial capital), so confidence in discussing and applying such topics is desirable.
