What You Will Do

• Design, maintain, and continuously improve the internal control framework, including risk and control matrices, in line with recognised standards (e.g., COSO).

• Partner with process and control owners across Finance, Operations, IT, and Commercial functions to embed risk ownership and control accountability, translating findings into practical, business-friendly recommendations.
• Promote a proactive risk and control culture through training and awareness, identifying opportunities to automate, simplify, or strengthen controls using technology and data analytics.

What Helps You Succeed
