However, FRM Certified professionals can be best fits for the roles of Financial Risk Consultant, Risk Assessments Manager, Risk Management Analyst, Head of Treasury Department, whereas, PRM Certified professionals are best suited for Predictive Analyst, Chief Risk Officer, Investment Risk Manager and Senior Risk Analyst.
