We're hiring a
Risk Manager for a full-time, remote role on our financial services team. Salary is $45,000 a year. If you've ever been the person in a meeting asking the question nobody else wanted to ask, this job was probably written with you in mind.
Where You Fit In
Markets move. Risk follows them. Our team needs someone who can spot the shift before it becomes a headline, and then actually do something about it once it's spotted. Analysts hand you data. Compliance hands you rules. Leadership hands you decisions that need to be backed up when someone pushes back on them later. You're the one turning all of that into a call that still makes sense three months from now.
It's remote, but it isn't passive. People will expect real answers from you when things get shaky, not a quarterly summary of what already happened.
Day to Day
Weeks vary. A lot of the job involves things like this:
- Tracking market trends closely enough that you notice a shift before it becomes a crisis
- Assessing credit risk on client accounts, and flagging the ones that need a closer look
- Building risk management frameworks that hold up when they're actually tested, not just when they're reviewed on paper
- Translating regulatory requirements into steps people without a legal background can follow
- Walking non-finance stakeholders through findings in terms they'll actually retain
- Following up on whether a mitigation plan got carried out or just got signed off and shelved
You'll also spend time documenting decisions well enough that someone else could pick up your work if they had to. That part gets skipped a lot at other places. It shouldn't be here.
What Gets You Hired
You already know financial analysis cold. We're not building someone up from scratch. Risk assessment methodologies should be second nature, to the point you can defend your thinking when someone pokes at it. Regulatory compliance shouldn't feel like unfamiliar ground either. Most of this job happens in gray areas, so if you need clean, tidy answers to feel confident, this probably isn't the right fit. If you're comfortable making a call with incomplete information and living with the consequences, it might be exactly right.
People looking for risk manager jobs in financial services, or checking whether a risk manager vacancy near them could actually be remote, tend to land here. This role hands you real ownership. You're not just executing someone else's checklist. You're helping write it.
Extra Points For
Credit risk modeling experience helps. Familiarity with Basel or Dodd-Frank helps, as does time with enterprise risk software. If you've had to explain risk metrics to someone outside finance using a chart instead of a spreadsheet, that skill matters more than people expect going in. Scenario modeling or stress testing experience is a plus even if it wasn't your main job before.
Why Take This One
At Naukri Mitra, we focus on connecting the right talent with the right opportunity, and this listing exists because the role earned its place, not because someone needed a headcount number filled. The people on this team think clearly under pressure rather than just staying busy for its own sake. You'll get room to reshape how risk processes work rather than inherit a system and babysit it forever. New hires here get real input within their first few months. That's not a line in the offer letter. It actually happens.
Pay and Beyond
$45,000 a year, plus a benefits package aimed at people building a career rather than just filling a job. You'll get early exposure to senior stakeholders and a clear path toward advancement. Risk work compounds fast once you've built a track record, and this role gives you the room to do that. Remote-first roles like this one have gotten more competitive heading into 2026, so if this fits, it's worth applying sooner rather than later.
How the Team Works
Remote doesn't mean quiet here. People flag problems early rather than letting them sit until they're unmanageable, and asking a question before it becomes a bigger issue is treated as a good instinct, not a weakness. You'll manage your own schedule day-to-day. You won't be left to untangle hard problems on your own. There's almost always someone a message away, whether that's a compliance lead or another risk manager who's dealt with something similar before.
Applying
Send a resume. Include a short note about a risk situation you've dealt with and how you thought it through. We care more about your reasoning than a polished cover letter. Applications are reviewed as they come in, so the earlier, the better, particularly given how tight the market for remote risk roles has gotten this year.
