Work You’ll Do

• Partner with senior client personnel to shape the vision for our client's first enterprise-wide Risk Management Solution, aligning decision rights, governance, and accountability to mission outcomes and leadership priorities.

• Develop cross-functional strategies that unify safety, programmatic, and (as approved) financial risk into a single framework and operating rhythm; translate requirements into an IT-enabled approach (dashboard) for leadership insight.

•Participate in executive working sessions, strategic assessments, and design reviews with key stakeholders to validate the enterprise approach, confirm tool/technology alignment, and ensure high-quality, adoption-ready work products and dashboards.
