A risk management consultant is responsible for evaluating the risks involved with a particular financial decision or insurance coverage scenario. As a risk mitigation expert, you leverage your expertise in finance, mathematics, and business to identify potential challenges and develop strategies for them. Your job duties include mining data that is relevant to the opportunity, analyzing that data to look for potential risks, and documenting strategies to mitigate the impact of risks. You also work to develop probabilities of the likelihood of a risk occurring.
