Strategic Risk Leader Insightful, Proactive Governance

Head of Risk

George, Western Cape

Permanent | On-site

Shape how we understand risk. Influence how we respond to it.

At Badger, good risk management isn’t about slowing the business down. It’s about giving people the insight, confidence and foresight to make better decisions.

We’re looking for an accomplished Head of Risk to lead our risk function and strengthen risk management across the Badger Group.

This is a senior leadership role with significant organisational reach. Reporting to the Managing Executive:
Legal, Risk and Compliance, you’ll work closely with executives, risk owners and governance committees to ensure that material risks are understood, appropriately managed and factored into the decisions that shape our future.

You’ll bring independence of thought, sound commercial judgement and the confidence to challenge constructively when it matters.

About

The Role

As Head of Risk, you’ll provide strategic and functional leadership for risk management across the relevant companies within the Badger Group.

You’ll take ownership of the effectiveness of our risk management framework and help ensure that risk is considered proactively in our strategy, our performance and the way we run our businesses.

A key part of your role will be turning complex information into meaningful insight. You’ll monitor the internal and external environment, identify emerging risks and opportunities, challenge assumptions and ensure that executives and governance structures have a clear view of the Group’s risk exposure.

You’ll also play an important role in strengthening risk ownership across the business. Risk isn’t something that belongs to the Risk team alone, and you’ll work with leaders and risk owners to build a culture where people understand their risks, take accountability for them and escalate concerns early.
