Hiring for risk, member services to take off
Financial Standard
|February 09, 2026
Recruitment activity across the financial services sector is showing signs of recovery following a lull in 2025, with increased hiring in risk and member services expected.
According to the 2026 Financial Services Market Outlook from Kaizen Recruitment, the financial services sector is in transition, moving from a year of caution and belt tightening to one of greater optimism and opportunity.
As for where those opportunities lie, Kaizen said there was a sharp uptick at the end of 2025 in the number of wrap platforms hiring for risk roles. This came in the wake of the Shield and First Guardian collapses, with the increased regulatory scrutiny pushing platform operators to hire to shore up emerging risks and strengthen existing internal governance practices.
