• Risks, gaps, and inefficiencies are identified early and addressed proactively

• A high-trust role working closely with senior leadership
• Exposure to strategic, operational, and leadership decision-making

• Competitive remuneration aligned to experience and impact
• A values-driven environment where ownership and initiative are encouraged
