- Supporting programme-wide risk activities (e.g. forecasting, reporting, analysis)
- Producing risk reports, dashboards, and insights to inform decision-making
- Driving continuous improvement and innovation in risk management approaches

- Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate data into clear insights
- Experience leading or contributing to Quantitative Risk Analysis (QRA)
