Develop your career in risk management
The Professional Standards Framework is based around four career levels, rather than specific job roles or titles:
- Leadership level
- Senior level
- Management level
- Support level
Each level encompasses a number of different roles. The table below provides a summary of job roles and expectations at each career level.
Review each of the functional areas of the standards which relate to your next career level. Assess whether you think your knowledge and skills in each area are sufficient. Do you need to improve your knowledge or develop your skills in any area?
