- Monitor the progress of risk management processes on existing and new projects/activities.
- Design, build, implement and run a ‘self-audit’ process to test processes / systems to ensure compliance with regulatory instruments.
- Drive continual improvement by reviewing frameworks and processes based off feedback from the business, complaints, TIO, any legislative undertaking.
- Advise management on risks and actions to ensure compliance and ensure a safe working environment by identifying and addressing risks within appropriate time frames.
