Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) Manager

• Hybrid – Northampton & Birmingham Area

If you're looking to be the key advocate for GRC and create a lasting impact, this position is for you. The role is your opportunity to mould GRC according to your vision.

TECHTRACE has partnered with a leading food manufacturing group with a significant presence across the UK to recruit a Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) Manager. This role will be pivotal in establishing a tailored, commercially focused governance framework.

This is a unique chance to bring together risk, governance, and data privacy practices into a cohesive framework, establishing the foundational tone for the entire organisation.

Your Mission:

You will design a new GRC operating model that unifies separate departments under a cohesive governance framework, ensuring alignment, actionable insights, and a focus on business needs. You will have direct accountability to the Board and complete responsibility for GRC delivery.

Your Responsibilities:

-Governance Consolidation: Develop and integrate a comprehensive framework that encompasses HR, Finance, Operations, ESG, and data protection.

-GDPR Leadership: Revamp data governance, manage third-party data, enhance customer retention policies, and streamline consent processes.

-Risk Management: Take charge of the organisation’s risk registers and mitigation strategies, integrating risk management into daily decision-making processes.

-Policy Development: Create, execute, and integrate policies that go beyond compliance; they are comprehended and embraced.

-Third-Party & Supplier Governance: Implement standards and controls for supplier compliance, third-party data handling, and procurement, ensuring all partners meet GRC standards.

-Address deficiencies; establish a structured approach to ethics and ESG practices; and ensure comprehensive implementation across the organisation.

-Transforming Culture: Implement training and awareness initiatives for GRC that genuinely alter perspectives, rather than merely fulfilling requirements.

In your initial 6–12 months, you will:

-Provide a clear plan to embed governance into everyday activities.

-Establish clear, business-driven GRC standards that enable teams to thrive rather than restrict them.

-Establish trust with leadership by merging strategic insight with tangible results.

Your Profile:

-An experienced governance, risk, and compliance professional within a dynamic, regulated, or business-orientated environment.

-You’ll have a deep understanding of corporate governance, with strong financial risk awareness and a high level of commercial acumen.

-You have successfully managed governance or compliance transformation initiatives and enjoy simplifying intricate challenges.

-You will be able to engage with senior leadership while also being involved in the practical aspects of developing and implementing policies.

-You grasp the nuances of risk and data protection; you implement practical frameworks that deliver results in real-world scenarios.

Location:

During the initial period, the role will require on-site presence between the Northampton & Birmingham areas.

Following the probationary period, a hybrid model will be implemented, allowing for up to two days of remote work with flexibility based on business needs.

This is an urgent requirement with interviews available to take place in May. Please contact gary@techtracepartners for further information on this opportunity.
