• Implement a risk-scoring model to measure the severity and likelihood of threats.
• Collaborate with senior leadership and provide actionable insights into emerging risk trends.
• Develop compliance playbooks, policies, and contingency planning protocols
• Support external audits and regulatory inspections with detailed documentation
• Establish incident response workflows and post-incident analysis reports
• Track the effectiveness of mitigation plans through continuous feedback loops

Risk Culture & Strategic Value

This role contributes directly to shaping a forward-thinking, security-conscious culture that supports innovation while reducing exposure. As our operations scale, so does the complexity of our risk landscape. Your contributions will guide investment in security infrastructure, influence vendor onboarding decisions, and support our leadership in setting enterprise-wide standards. You will help embed a shared language of risk and responsibility across business units.

With your leadership, we aim to transform risk management from a reactive function into a strategic driver of business agility and resilience. Your assessments and recommendations will support cross-border expansion, technology adoption, and sustainable operations. You will influence quarterly business reviews, align KPIs with compliance goals, and drive internal ownership of risk initiatives.

Professional Development & Impact

This is a high-impact role that offers long-term career growth. You will have a direct line to senior executives and influence key organizational strategies. We are committed to professional development, providing certification support, conference access, and internal mentorship opportunities.

As you gain exposure across departments, you will evolve into a subject matter expert trusted by stakeholders and leadership alike. You’ll have the opportunity to lead global risk initiatives, mentor junior compliance professionals, and potentially build a team to scale the function. Your journey with us is designed to match your ambition.
