Job Description

Astrum Search is working with a well-established, growing FTSE 250 retail business to find an experienced Senior Risk Manager to join their Internal Audit and Risk function.

This is a highly visible role where you'll take the lead on developing and embedding a comprehensive risk management framework working closely with senior leadership and Exec/Board committee.

Key Responsibilities:

• Designing, maintaining and reporting on an enterprise-wide risk framework
• Delivering insightful risk analysis relative to Board-agreed risk appetite
• Owning the risk register, RCSA process and controls oversight
• Preparing risk reports and dashboards for directors and Board committees
• Advising on major change programmes and new business initiatives
• Championing a risk-aware culture through coaching, training and mentoring

Skills & Experience:

• Proven experience in an enterprise risk management role in a non-regulated business
• Additional experience within internal audit is ideal 
• Experience working alongside other assurance providers (internal/external audit)
• Track record of presenting risk papers to senior stakeholders and Board-level committees
• Strong communicator with the ability to influence across all levels
• Experience in retail, consumer goods, or FMCG highly desirable

My client is a well-established FTSE PLC that is going through a period of change. The in-house internal audit and risk team is growing and developing. This is a great opportunity to join a risk function that is going through change and would therefore suit someone who has worked within risk transformation or helped develop ERM from scratch.
