About the Role
As the Risk Oversight Manager, you will play a central role in strengthening NHG's organisational resilience by leading the oversight, monitoring, and coordination of risk management activities across the business. Reporting to the Head or Director of Risk, Assurance, or Compliance, you will ensure that risk frameworks, controls, and reporting processes are robust, transparent, and support informed, strategic decision-making.

You will drive the development and continuous improvement of NHG's risk management approach, supporting directorates in identifying and managing risks, assuring the effectiveness of controls, and ensuring compliance with regulatory and governance requirements.

Your role is pivotal in nurturing a customer-centric culture across the organisation. You will be responsible for identifying, analysing, and managing risks that could impact the organisation's objectives, including financial, operational, and strategic risks. You will develop risk mitigation strategies and implement controls to minimise exposure.

Collaboration with various departments is key to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and best practices in risk management. You will lead the implementation of the risk management lifecycle for both risks and risk events, ensuring consistent understanding, interpretation, and adoption of the Enterprise Risk Management Framework and related policies and tools.

Key responsibilities include managing and developing NHG's risk oversight processes to ensure consistency and alignment with organisational objectives, providing constructive challenge and independent oversight of directorate risk assessments and mitigation plans, collaborating with senior stakeholders to ensure risks are understood and appropriately managed, and ensuring efficient systems and processes for risk data collection, analysis, and reporting.

You will also support scenario planning, stress testing, and thematic risk reviews, contribute to governance papers and committee reports, and keep abreast of sector trends, regulatory changes, and best practices in risk management, translating learning into improved organisational processes.
