Since 2004, Danos Group has partnered with regulated organisations to build effective governance functions across Risk, Compliance, Financial Crime, and Legal. Our Risk practice focuses on non-financial risk and risk governance roles, supporting organisations with permanent, interim and consulting solutions.
We work with banks, investment managers, insurers and other regulated institutions to strengthen Risk capability — from senior leadership appointments through to specialist delivery and regulatory change programmes.
How We Support Risk Functions
Permanent Recruitment Senior and specialist Risk hiring across non-financial risk disciplines, from functional leads through to executive-level appointments.
Interim Risk Solutions Short-term leadership cover and specialist interim support, including remediation activity, regulatory change and transformation programmes.
Risk Consulting Deployment of experienced Risk practitioners and project teams to deliver defined governance, risk and regulatory initiatives where additional capacity or expertise is required.
Our solutions enable organisations to scale Risk capability appropriately, while maintaining oversight, quality and regulatory standards.
We advise boards and executive teams on senior non-financial Risk hiring, where judgement, governance oversight and regulatory credibility are essential.
Our mandates regularly include:
Chief Risk Officer (CRO)
Group and Regional Chief Risk Officers
Global and Regional Heads of Risk
Heads of Non-Financial Risk
Conduct & Risk Governance leaders
Operational Risk leaders
Senior Model Risk and Validation leadership
Risk Transformation and ESG Risk leadership
Assignments are delivered through retained executive search, contingent senior recruitment or interim leadership solutions, depending on organisational structure, regulatory exposure and timelines.
Global Risk Recruitment Coverage
With established teams across Asia Pacific, EMEA, the Americas, we deliver Risk talent globally. Our network is built through long-standing relationships with senior Risk professionals operating within highly regulated environments.
We are frequently engaged where discretion, speed and delivery certainty are required.
Danos Associates offered much more than simply sourcing candidates.
They helped frame the scope of the search, giving context as to where we could search for our candidate pool and provided a commercial view of the labour market in this field and what we could expect… The shortlist of candidates we received was of a very high standard. Each candidate had been looked at critically.
Nicola SwannHR Director
Danos Consulting offered an excellent Interim Head of Compliance as a solution whilst undertaking our challenging permanent search mandate.
Danos Consulting really listened to our needs, parachuting in a candidate with the right technical skill set and personality. They really understood the DNA of our business which enabled them to provide support effectively when working to tight onboarding deadlines.
General Counsel, Niche Asset Management Firm
Danos Associates spend a lot of time getting to know your team and the culture, which makes it easier when new staff join the business.
In credit risk often the candidate pools have the same skill sets, however there are elements that the CV miss out. The Danos team work tirelessly to understand the skills levels of all candidates and most importantly, they get us quality candidates we can close and bring on board quickly.
Director of Model, Development Banking
Danos was referred to me as the best in the business.
I needed to find risk and compliance staff. My experience corroborates precisely that. Thorough, encyclopaedic market knowledge and execution orientated.
