  • Provide practical advice and support on risk management and crisis management matters
  • Deliver key risk and crisis management activities in line with legislative requirements and organisational priorities
  • Develop resources, training and guidance to build risk capability across the organisation
  • Prepare quality reports, correspondence and documentation for management, Council and relevant committees
  • Build strong partnerships to ensure risk management practices remain fit for purpose and support organisational goals

Who you are

  • Experience in risk management, governance, compliance, crisis management or a related discipline
  • Strong stakeholder engagement and relationship-building skills
  • The ability to navigate complexity with sound judgement and professionalism
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • A proactive, solutions-focused approach and commitment to continuous improvement
  • Relevant qualifications or equivalent experience in a related field

Why Playford
