You will be responsible for overseeing risk governance and compliance activities across Finance and Strategy, ensuring alignment with the ART Group Risk Management Framework.

• Support the CFO in managing and monitoring the risk profile of the Material Risks in line with Board expectations.

• Take ownership of the Finance and Strategy Corporate Risk Scorecard risk metrics, assisting Finance and Strategy to meet or exceed performance targets.

• Represent the Finance and Strategy Leadership Team at quarterly emerging risk workshops, making sure any emerging people risks are identified and continue to be managed.

• Act as the Finance and Strategy lead conduit for audit programs, regulatory reviews and other assurance activities.

• Act as the Business Continuity Plan (BCP) representative across Finance and Strategy, including facilitating Business Impact Assessments, and subsequent reviews of the Business Continuity Plans.

• Prepare risk reports for Finance and Strategy, Management, and Board Committees, highlighting key risk insights.

• Collaborate with Line 1 and line 2 Risk teams across the enterprise to mature the risk profile and embed consistent People Risk practices.

This role is available as a permanent opportunity.
