Your New Company
Join a highly respected and purpose-driven organisation with a strong reputation for supporting professionals across the healthcare sector. With a collaborative culture and a commitment to strong governance, the organisation is continuing to invest in its risk management capability and is seeking an experienced Operational Risk Manager to support the development and enhancement of its operational risk framework.
Your new role
As Operational Risk Manager, you will play a pivotal role within the Governance team, working closely with senior stakeholders across the business to identify, assess, monitor and manage operational risks. You will support the development of a robust risk culture by ensuring effective risk assessment, reporting, control testing and mitigation activities are embedded throughout the organisation.
A key responsibility of the role will be overseeing the rollout and implementation of a new Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) system.
