• Monitor and assess ongoing risk across our supplier and customer base, enhancing business-as-usual (BAU) processes to address emerging compliance threats.
• Use data and analytics platforms to streamline risk oversight and strengthen decision-making.
• Support the team through the implementation of a new ERP system and contribute to process development during this transition.

About You:

• Highly organised, analytical thinker with strong communication skills and a calm, professional approach
• You'll enjoy working in a fast-paced, evolving environment where you can make a real impact.
• Excellent attention to detail with strong analytical and reasoning abilities
• Proven organisational and time management skills
• Comfortable working across multiple stakeholders, including senior management
• Logical, methodical problem-solver with a collaborative mindset
• Adaptable and resilient with the ability to manage changing priorities

Experience & Qualifications:
