Originally started in Johannesburg, South Africa, we pride ourselves on creating memorable experiences for everyone involved in Nando's: from our employees, communities, founders, and suppliers, but most importantly, our customers.

We're recruiting for an Operational Risk Manager to join the team on a 6 month contract. The Operational Risk Manager is responsible for providing oversight, guidance, and assurance around operational risk management across Nando's UKI, to ensure that we remain 'safe and secure' and can achieve our business objectives.

• 3) Lead the administration of risk events - so that they are reported, investigated, and addressed, with both the impacts and root cause addressed to avoid repeat occurrences - providing independent oversight as part of the process.
• 4) Monitor Risk related MI and Key Risk Indicators to ensure that business owners are taking appropriate actions in the event of risk appetite being breached, or where a breach is anticipated.
• 5) Support the Nando's UK & I leadership team in identifying and calling out emerging threats and risks to the achievement of business objectives.
• Conduct risks assessments and risk reviews at the request of the Chief Risk Officer, H/O Operational Risk or wider Nando's UK & I LT.

• Support risk management strategies for enterprise wide, risk related incidents.
• Manage the Nando's UK & I Insurance programme ensuring that claims are effectively managed, policy requirements flow through to internal policies and procedures so that successful claims can be made and that there is a general awareness of claims opportunities across the business.
• Support in the management of Nando's UK & I Policies & Procedures to ensure that these are in place, communicated, and embedded into key business processes.

• Naturally calm under pressure.

• Passionate about risk management, doing the right thing, and challenging the status quo to drive organisational improvements.

Our candidate should be looking for:

• A culture with strong purpose & values, intent on contributing to / driving positive cultural and societal change
• Involvement in a variety of projects rather than repetitive work in a business which encourages creativity and evolution rather than a set approach.
• An environment which is relaxed and informal, whilst highly driven and ambitious
• A business that seeks to support every employee to be at their best, and encourage individuality
