You will engage across the entity, working with subject matter experts to identify external threats and opportunities, construct risk statements, identify and map current controls and deliver an integrated control framework that is fit-for-purpose and tailored. With an initial focus on operational risks (policy, people, H&S, finance, ICT and Systems etc), successful completion could lead to further work on the more complex regulatory risk areas.

• Facilitate the identification, analysis, and understanding of operational risks.
• Map out and create an integrated view of risk controls using FMA's risk management frameworks, processes, and tools.
