Senior Risk Manager

Senior Risk Managers oversee an organisation’s risk management function and work with the executive committee to improve business efficiencies and compliance. They evaluate their organisation’s systems, structures and operations — then identify risks and shortcomings.

As a Senior Risk Manager you could be discussing current workflow systems with the General Manager, reporting the impact of an impending change to legislation, overseeing the development of a set of procedure manuals, or investigating the cause of a security incident that shut down production.
