A risk analyst is the part of the risk management team that handles a lot of the data analysis and interrogation. Risk analysts will collect all relevant data and try to determine the risk associated. They will then take their findings to a risk manager who will use their results to help create a more holistic risk assessment presentation.
Because this position is very technical, your experience with risk information management software (RIMS) and other relevant technology is highly important, so ensure the skills section of your resume is updated. Take a look at this successful risk analyst resume.
