Disruptive. Customer Centered. Transformational.
Admiral Pioneer exists within Admiral Group as a venture studio, providing the greenhouse in which to grow new businesses. We’re leveraging Admiral’s strengths to deliver commercially strong businesses that answer the financial needs of new audiences and respond to emerging opportunities.

The Role
Whose hungry to learn, grow, and make a real impact?
Join Admiral Pioneer as a Risk Analyst and become a key player in our mission to build bold, innovative businesses. You’ll be part of a small but mighty Risk & Compliance team, working across multiple start-ups and scale-ups, helping us grow responsibly without slowing down.
What You’ll Be Doing
As a Risk Analyst, you’ll dive into the heart of risk, compliance, and data protection—supporting our second line of defence and helping build frameworks that empower rather than restrict.

- Drive delivery of our annual Risk Plan, spanning risk management, compliance monitoring, and data protection.
- Conduct risk assessments and thematic reviews to uncover insights and opportunities.
- Prepare sharp, insightful materials for our Risk Management Committee and Board.
- Support regulatory submissions and help us stay aligned with FCA and GFSC expectations.
- Maintain and evolve our risk registers, compliance trackers, and privacy records.
- Champion business continuity planning across our ventures.
- Stay ahead of regulatory changes and translate them into practical, actionable advice.
- Collaborate across Pioneer to embed a culture of smart risk management through training, workshops, and best practice sharing.
What You’ll Bring
- Some experience in Risk, Compliance, Audit, Data Protection or governance is great—but not essential.
- A genuine interest in building a career in risk and governance.
- Strong organisational and analytical skills, with a sharp eye for detail.
- Commercial awareness and adaptability—able to balance oversight with business agility.
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
- A love for variety, pace, and learning in a start-up setting.
Why Join Us?
- Work across multiple exciting ventures within Admiral Pioneer.
- Learn from experienced professionals in a collaborative, supportive environment.
- Be part of a team that values curiosity, flexibility, and bold thinking.
- Make a real impact in shaping how we manage risk while driving innovation.

Talent Partner - Admiral Pioneer
What areas do you look after?
I currently recruit for our Non-Motor departments.
Tell us about you and your Admiral story?
I joined Admiral in October 2020 as a Renewals Consultant. I dealt directly with Renewals queries and then moved into the Customer Value team, dealing with mid-term customers and upselling Multi Product. During my time in the Contact Centres, I helped with Volume Recruitment from time to time, and this prompted me to pursue a full-time role in recruitment, which I started in March 2022.
Why would you recommend Admiral?
Admiral is a great company to work for and offers a culture like no other. Admiral has given me the tools to form my own career path and there is always opportunity to develop and challenge yourself in different ways.
