About the job
ORX is the world's largest association for operational and non-financial risk in financial services, employing around 70 dedicated professionals and growing. We work with over 130 organisations and thousands of risk professionals globally to advance and champion the discipline. Founded over 20 years ago by a small group of banks to anonymously share operational risk loss data, we've since expanded our services. Today, we not only share loss data but also conduct research on key topics, offer collaboration opportunities, and develop standards and references to drive innovation and support our community in the increasingly digital financial services environment.
The role
ORX is hiring a Lead Data Analyst to work in our Research and Information Department. ORX holds proprietary datasets that represent the operational risk loss history of the global banking and insurance industries spanning more than 20 years. It’s a treasure trove for the keen analyst, and we are looking for the right candidate to help us make the most of our data sets and support the industry with insights and analytical products.
The ideal candidate will have strong coding skills using R, as well as proven experience with Excel and SQL. Previous analyst experience of identifying and resolving data quality issues will be advantageous. Candidates should be demonstrably driven and passionate about analytics and have the skills required to dig into a data set and tell a story using the insights they extract. Experience of creating incisive data analytics and visualisations is therefore essential.
Interest in additional BI tools would be a plus, as would interest or experience in data engineering and database design. Furthermore, as we continue to explore ways to leverage GenAI tools, experience and an interest in these tools would also be beneficial.
As a Lead Data Analyst, you will work closely with other analysts in the team with the opportunity to coach junior analysts. We are strong believers in the benefits of skill sharing, and so excellent communication and collaboration skills are essential.
It’s an exciting time at ORX as we transition our data and services onto a new platform, and as such there will be the opportunity to build on your coding skills in a development environment and support us in our transition.
Our culture
We have a great culture and we’re proud of our people and the high engagement demonstrated year after year in our employee survey. We recognise and reward hard work, whilst respecting work-life balance. During the first month of the probation, employees should be in the office a minimum of 2 days per week. Following this, days in the office are a minimum of 10 per quarter, which enables our teams to establish a working pattern that suits us, and you.
What else do you need to know?
As we manage and have control of highly confidential data at ORX, the successful candidate will be subject to background checks.
If you’re a good match for this exciting opportunity, please apply to careers@orx.org with a copy of your CV and cover letter. In the body of the cover letter, please confirm your salary expectations and availability, and we’ll be in touch.
