Job Summary
Please note: you’ll need to be open to relocating to Cape Town at your own cost.
Our client, operating within the financial services and investment sector, is looking for an Enterprise Risk Manager to sit at the centre of their operations. Reporting into senior leadership, you’ll play a key role in making sure the business doesn’t just react to risk, but stays ahead of it.
In this role, you’ll take full ownership of the enterprise risk framework, ensuring it’s not just a document that gathers dust, but a living, breathing part of how the business operates. Whether it’s operational risk, IT risk, or emerging threats, you’ll be the person turning uncertainty into structure and control.
This is a dynamic environment where your voice will matter. Your ability to challenge thinking, anticipate issues, and occasionally remind people “this is why we plan ahead” will directly contribute to the organisation’s resilience and long-term success.
If you enjoy working at both a strategic and operational level, thrive in fast-moving environments, and believe risk management should actively shape business decisions, not just audit findings, this opportunity offers real impact and growth.
