DETERMINING FACTORS, DESIRABLE PERSONALITY TRAITS AND SKILLSETS

A risk analyst needs an excellent understanding of the specific industry they are working in to identify relevant risks. However, candidates with the right attitude will be able to learn about a new industry, and their skills should not be discounted.

The role requires a familiarity with laws, regulations, and compliance requirements that affect risk management practices. Candidates should have an awareness of current and projected economic conditions that could impact risk, and demonstrate they can keep up-to-date with the latest technological trends and their potential risks.

In terms of personality traits, a risk analyst naturally needs the ability to analyze complex data and identify patterns or potential issues. Attention to detail is of great importance, and they must be meticulous in reviewing data, reports, and processes to ensure nothing is overlooked. Risk analysts also need to possess strong ethical standards and honesty in reporting and assessing risks.
