Risk Officer (m/f/x)

Here's what you'll be doing with us

As a risk officer, you will advise on the strategic risks facing the NPO and work on developing a risk management framework within our organization. You will identify the strategic risks that may arise at the NPO. What are the strategic risks and how can we address them? Which ones have already been mitigated, and which strategic risks do we still face?

You will be part of the team within the NPO that handles a wide range of governance-related tasks. In addition to the risk manager, this team includes the compliance officer, the privacy officer, and the information security officer. In this role, you are responsible for the substantive coordination of this team. You ensure regular internal consultations and prepare a quarterly risk report, which also covers other governance matters. You report functionally to the Chief Financial Officer and to the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board.

The role of risk officer at the NPO requires seniority, a strong awareness of the organizational environment, and a broad perspective. For us, it’s not just about financial risks, but about all types of risks that could affect the NPO. You will therefore be in regular contact with the various organizational units to proactively identify risks. You look beyond simply filling out heat maps and determining control measures, ensuring that risk management actually adds value to our operations.

Your main responsibilities:

• You will develop a systematic approach to risk management (thorough and at the appropriate level) so that the NPO can make the right decisions at the right time;
• You will be the driving force behind helping to shape and further develop the standard risk management language, including consolidating and coordinating the various (existing) risk documents and processes;
• You will guide and support the business (at the executive and management levels) in the risk management process, including conducting risk analyses;
• You are the expert on complex, organization-wide risk-related issues. You provide advice at both the tactical and strategic levels and support (complex) projects with your expertise;
• You promote risk awareness within the NPO and manage communication regarding this matter;
• You are responsible for preparing and managing a compliance risk analysis;
• You are responsible for coordinating the Governance Team's substantive work.
  

You'll recognize yourself in this

As a risk officer, you have a college or university degree. You enjoy working independently and are quick to take the initiative. You have the experience to communicate at the management level. Your highly developed analytical skills enable you to quickly and easily understand processes and procedures and improve them where necessary. Your communication and advice are clear and to the point. You always keep the organization’s best interests in mind. You are capable of playing a substantive coordinating role within the team.
