Maintain the Engineering Operations risk register and support risk owners to remediate or mitigate. Coordinate internal audit actions, preparing documentation and ensuring timely closure. Support vendor onboarding and renewals for Engineering Operations, ensuring budget approval is in place and helping to build business cases for new tools and services. Support the Engineering Ops Director in managing the engineering-wide budget, providing financial insights, tracking spend trends, and renewal timelines. Draft, maintain, and socialise engineering-wide operational policies, acting as a quality gatekeeper for documentation and audit readiness. Coordinate the review and governance of high-level engineering policies, ensuring they remain accurate, compliant, and aligned with operational and regulatory requirements. A little about you: Strong knowledge of Business Continuity Management (BCM) standards and practices, with experience leading impact assessments, recovery planning, and simulations. Experience in operational risk management and internal audit processes, ideally in a regulated or technology-driven environment.
