What Is the Opportunity?
Here’s what you’ll be doing:
- You will play a leading role in safeguarding our assets and reputation by proactively identifying and mitigating risks across the whole business. This isn't about traditional 'box-ticking'; we want you to move beyond old-school approaches to foster a culture of excellence and innovation.
- You’ll become the trusted expert for an emerging risk environment, fostering a risk-aware mindset throughout the entire organisation.

- You'll be responsible for the continuous improvement and evolution of our existing comprehensive risk management framework, ensuring a best-fit approach that aligns perfectly with our long-term objectives.
As our Head of Risk, you’ll:
- Take full ownership of proposing and implementing a risk strategy that is tailored to fit and operates effectively for our specific needs.
- Identify and prioritise operational and financial risks alongside regulatory and strategic challenges on a day-to-day basis, while maintaining a forward-looking lens on emerging threats.
- Prepare and present detailed risk reports to department heads, senior management and the Board, providing the strategic clarity needed to drive informed decision-making.
