Interim Chief Risk Officer
Ireland·Insurance & Reinsurance··Posted 17 July 2026
Irish-authorised insurance undertaking within an international group
The problem this seat exists to solve
The pre-approval controlled function holder has resigned. The firm needs an interim in the seat while a permanent appointment goes through Central Bank pre-approval, which takes months.
The remit
- Hold the risk function and the own-risk-and-solvency-assessment cycle
- Maintain the firm's regulatory relationship through the transition
- Own the risk elements of the responsibilities map under the accountability framework
- Support the permanent candidate through the pre-approval process
What the sponsor will not compromise on
- Existing or prior pre-approval controlled function holder with the Central Bank of Ireland
- Solvency II and ORSA experience in a non-life or life undertaking
- Availability to be in Dublin regularly
- Capacity within the Central Bank's time-commitment expectations
Terms
- Engagement
- Six to nine months, three to four days a week.
- Compensation
- EUR 1,300 – 1,700 a day.
- Cross-border
- Central Bank pre-approval is required for the controlled function. Prior PCF status materially shortens the timetable.
Before you apply — this is an executive role
An interim seat needs work authorisation. A board seat in Ireland usually does not.
This is the single most common way a cross-border interim engagement falls apart after it has been agreed. The visa-free position that applies to a non-executive director attending board meetings does not extend to an executive or operating role.
- Position in Ireland
- A non-executive director attending board meetings does not require an employment permit. Executive roles for non-EEA nationals require one.
- On this brief
- Central Bank pre-approval is required for the controlled function. Prior PCF status materially shortens the timetable.
