This is a dual‑function role supporting the GM of Risk and Resilience to ensure key targets are met across emergency management and risk. It is a vital position that strengthens the systems and processes driving organisation‑wide emergency preparedness.

You will manage processes following emergency events, follow up with teams to gather information, and help shape improved procedures for future responses. You’ll coordinate across all functional areas to ensure end‑to‑end readiness for major events, monitor readiness indicators, and enable stakeholders to deliver on agreed actions.

The second part of the role involves attending meetings with the GM, contributing ideas on how to progress action items, and coordinating with other departments to ensure targets are met. This may include providing additional support to teams where needed.

About You:

You are a self‑starter who thrives under pressure and builds strong relationships across the business. You’re comfortable immersing yourself in the challenges of each team, understanding their priorities, and working alongside them to help drive actions forward. You might have experience as an EA who has also worked on projects managing workflow.

You will bring:

• Expertise in coordinating workflows and driving improvement programmes across multiple teams
• Experience in a large organisation or a highly regulated environment working with governing bodies
• Strong relationship‑building skills and the ability to promote action while remaining respectful
• A proactive mindset with the ability to see the big picture and anticipate next steps
