Risk Analyst Jobs in Ohio: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a risk analyst in Ohio?
Most Ohio employers require a bachelor's degree in finance, economics, statistics, or accounting as the foundation for a risk analyst role. Ohio does not issue a state-specific license for risk analysts, but professional certifications carry real weight: the Financial Risk Manager credential from GARP and the Chartered Financial Analyst designation are the most recognized by Ohio's banking and insurance employers. Candidates who pair a quantitative degree with one of these credentials move through hiring processes faster.
How much do risk analysts make in Ohio?
Risk analysts in Ohio earn a median of about $98,650 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $62,710 for the lowest 10% to over $163,210 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire risk analysts in Ohio?
Employers hiring risk analysts in Ohio right now include KeyBank, FirstEnergy, and DaVita, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Ohio's concentration of large insurance carriers, regional banks, and diversified financial holding companies means demand stays relatively consistent even when broader hiring slows.
Which Ohio cities have the most risk analyst jobs?
Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Akron account for the most risk analyst openings in Ohio. Columbus leads because of its dense cluster of insurance headquarters and large retail banks, while Cleveland and Cincinnati draw demand from regional banking institutions, asset managers, and major corporate treasury and compliance functions headquartered in those metros.
Are there remote risk analyst jobs in Ohio?
Yes, and more than most fields. Risk analysis is a desk-based, analytical role that translates well to remote work, and Ohio-based financial services firms have expanded flexible arrangements significantly. About 71% of risk analyst openings tied to Ohio are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, with credit risk modeling and enterprise risk reporting roles showing the highest share of fully remote postings.
How can I get hired as a risk analyst in Ohio with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a junior or associate analyst role within the credit, compliance, or audit teams at Ohio's large regional banks or insurance carriers. Fifth Third Bank, Nationwide, and KeyBank have all run structured rotational or associate programs that bring in candidates without direct risk experience. Lateral moves from roles like financial analyst, loan underwriter, or internal auditor are common on-ramps. Earning the FRM Part I exam or completing a risk-focused Excel and SQL project portfolio gives candidates without experience a measurable edge in Ohio hiring.
Where can I find and apply to risk analyst jobs in Ohio?
