• Work closely with project managers and wider stakeholders to identify, assess, manage, monitor, and communicate key risks that could impact business objectives.
  
  
• Analyse risk data to produce clear, actionable reports, dashboards, and briefings for managers and senior stakeholders.
  
  
• Facilitate risk workshops and support risk awareness across project teams.

• Support continuous improvement of risk processes, tools, and frameworks across the region.
  
  

Essential skills and experience:

• Experience maintaining risk registers and coordinating input across diverse project teams.
  
  
• Ability to analyse complex data and translate outputs into concise reports and presentations.
  
  
• Excellent facilitation skills, with confidence running workshops and stakeholder sessions.
  
  
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence and challenge constructively.
  
  
• Experience working within large, multidisciplinary organisations (Network Rail experience advantageous but not essential).
