Job Description
At Turner & Townsend, we apply the same approach to the operation of our business as we do in the delivery of services to clients – we transform performance.

Responsibilities
This exciting role will play a key part in transforming the performance of the Risk Management (RM) function within our Business Services team. RM is a global, internal function, which is responsible for developing our enterprise/corporate risk management strategy with the Executive Committee for the service delivering regions to implement and comply with such that risk is managed in accordance with Turner & Townsend's risk appetite. The function includes:

• Enterprise risk management – application of corporate governance, learning and development, and reporting;
• Contracts and legal – reviewing our client and supplier engagements;
• Insurances and claims – procurement of all insurances, and the management of claims;
• Service excellence – management and oversight of the service delivery quality assurance programme;

• The production and delivery of RM reporting including maintaining a suite of operational RM reporting dashboards for use by Turner & Townsend’s business units, eight operating regions, and cost centres within each region;
• Identifying, planning and managing the delivery of change projects and programmes.

This is a global role and will involve supporting the Global Head of Risk Management and broader RM leadership team with operating and improving the RM function whilst undertaking ‘business as usual’ activities associated with Turner & Townsend’s regional businesses. This role can be based in either London or Leeds.

Qualifications
To be successful in this role, the ideal candidate will be:

• Professionally qualified in a project management role e.g. chartered project manager, MSP;
• Experienced in the construction or management consultancy industry in the operation of a PMO and management of change projects and programmes;
• Experience of working within a global business and able to work flexibly across other time zones when necessary;
• Efficiently and effectively communicate complex risk topics to non-experts;
• Track record of success in managing multiple stakeholders and successfully delivering compliance initiatives in a complex global business;
