Businesses hire risk managers to assess the financial risks involved when executing a project or strategy. Risk management is extremely important as it can often predict the profits a business makes as well as any losses it can expect to endure. Risk managers work in public and private organizations as well as with government and non-profit organizations. Most positions in risk management require a minimum of a bachelor's degree.
