  • Responsible for leading the engagement with key business stakeholders and divisions on thematic reviews.
  • Provide clear advice, challenge and expertise on a range of complex issues right up to Chief Officer level.
  • Attend MRP/MRC to present material findings or escalate areas of dispute. In some instances findings may be escalated to ERC/GRC (the designated Board Risk Committee).
