Business Risk Manager

Founded in 1856 by Thomas Burberry, Burberry is a global luxury brand with a distinctly British attitude. We are a global business with an extensive network of both owned and franchised stores across EMEIA, Asia Pacific and Americas. We are digital pioneers, and innovative technology underpins every aspect of our business, from product design to distribution and marketing. We believe that modern luxury means being socially and environmentally responsible; this mindset is core to our business and key to our long-term success.

JOB PURPOSE

The Business Risk Manager will analyse Burberry's business, including its markets, in the context of risk and uncertainty. The way you make a difference is by helping the business take better decisions; this will be either to help create more value, or by protecting existing value, by helping Burberry's leaders take the right degree of risk, and to take better decisions more quickly.

'Better decisions' include working together with our businesses and group functions to prioritise and design controls, to make sure we're taking the right amount of risk to achieve targets and objectives. Better decisions also include helping businesses to understand how their markets are changing, and what that implies.

The Business Risk Manager will be data and business-literate, and absorbed by getting to the root-cause of complex business problems. You will be persuasive verbally, graphically and formally, in a way that gets the best from a range of stakeholders, including those who don't always readily see the value of risk and control, or how it can help them be more successful.
