About the role
This interview examines whether you can give a board an independent, useful view of the risks facing an insurer. The panel will test your command of risk appetite, capital, stress testing, resilience and regulatory engagement. Strong answers connect technical evidence to clear choices and show how you build ownership of risk across the business.
How to prepare
- Prepare to explain how you connect risk appetite, capital planning, limits and management actions.
- Choose an example where your challenge changed a strategic or commercial decision.
- Review how you would aggregate underwriting, reserving, market, credit, operational and conduct risks.

Common mistakes
