We are partnering with a well-established charity seeking a proactive and experienced Risk Business Partner to help strengthen its risk management framework and support the organisation through an important period of transition.
This role will play a key part in improving risk governance, enhancing the quality of risk reporting, and ensuring the organisation is well-positioned ahead of the arrival of a new senior director. The successful candidate will bring structure, challenge and insight to the risk function, helping to create a more forward-looking and effective approach to risk management.
The Opportunity
Working closely with senior stakeholders, you will take ownership of driving improvements across the organisation’s risk registers, reporting processes and governance arrangements. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys building capability, influencing stakeholders and helping organisations become more mature in their approach to risk.
Key Responsibilities
- Review and enhance organisational risk registers, ensuring risks are clearly articulated, appropriately assessed and effectively managed.
- Partner with operational and senior leadership teams to improve risk identification, ownership and accountability.
- Lead the production of high-quality risk reports and dashboards for the Risk Committee and senior leadership teams.
- Ensure risk reporting is timely, insightful and focused on key strategic and operational issues.
- Support the organisation in developing a more proactive and forward-looking approach to risk management.
- Facilitate risk workshops and discussions with stakeholders across the charity.
- Help establish robust governance processes and reporting disciplines ahead of the appointment of a new director.
- Provide expert advice and challenge on emerging risks, controls and mitigation strategies.
About You
We’re looking for a confident risk professional who can quickly assess current practices and drive meaningful improvements.
You’ll ideally have:
- Experience in risk management, assurance, governance or internal audit.
- A track record of improving risk registers and embedding effective risk management practices.
- Experience preparing and presenting reports for Boards, Committees or senior leadership teams.
- Strong stakeholder engagement and influencing skills.
- The ability to bring structure, organisation and momentum to a developing risk function.
- Experience within the charity, public, healthcare or regulated sectors would be beneficial.
Why Apply?
This is an opportunity to make a tangible impact within a values-led organisation. You’ll play a key role in helping the charity strengthen its risk framework, improve governance and establish a solid foundation for future leadership.
If you’re someone who enjoys bringing order, clarity and confidence to risk management processes, we’d love to hear from you.
