The Wellcome Trust is a global charitable foundation. We improve health for everyone by funding science, leading policy and advocacy campaigns, and building partnerships.

We plan to spend £16bn over the next ten years, funding new discoveries in life, health, and wellbeing, and taking on three global health challenges: mental health, infectious disease and climate and health.

These challenges need the bold science we support, but they won't be solved by science alone.

As an Enterprise Risk Manager, you will:

  • Work in partnership with multiple departments facilitating a proactive risk management culture and methodology.

  • Be responsible for the design and delivery of the corporate and departmental risk management processes, including the creation and update of the Corporate Risk Register and other risk reporting documentation. This involves working with the Executive Leadership team, departmental Risk Champions, Programme Management Office and other personnel as required.

  • Engage proactively on emerging risks across the organisation and ensure a coordinated and effective response from business owners. This response will include reports to Wellcome's management and committees, as appropriate.

  • Be responsible for training and workshops to facilitate ongoing embedding of risk management culture. As well as be the liaison with the risk managers at Wellcome subsidiaries in collaboration of their own corporate risk management programmes.

  • Be the owner of the risk and control environment for your area and be accountable for the quality of your and your team's outputs.

  • Contribute to a diverse and inclusive culture across the organisation, collaborating across departments.

Is this job for me?

You will be joining a diverse and dynamic team who are transforming the way we look at risk management at Wellcome. We are looking for someone who has a background in risk management, can work autonomously and has the confidence to work with people across the whole organisation. You will have the opportunity to work and interact with the most senior leaders at Wellcome, all of whom are critical and analytical thinkers. You will have the chance to develop your technical knowledge, finding creative ways to apply risk thinking to a unique organisation.

We are looking for someone who has:

  • Appropriate qualifications and enterprise risk management experience.

  • Deep understanding of non-financial risk and control frameworks.

  • The ability to be think outside the box on how to improve the efficiency of processes and procedures.

  • Active membership of relevant risk management fora.

  • Proactive and problem-solving attitude and ability to take responsibility for projects.

  • Experience with risk reports and able to evidence excellent written and oral communication skills.
