YOUR OPPORTUNITY

The Risk Manager is responsible for the analysis and management of Company risks. He/She identifies, anticipates and arranges a remediation plan for the issues that can damage the business - from the point of view of compliance, operations, security, safety and ESG -. He/She is also responsible for development strategies, processes and systems for the management and monitoring of risk in order to protect the Company's ongoing business and reputation.
Through investigation and data collection, he/she identifies internal and external risks that the Company is exposed to, and defines the Company risk profile, both in terms of its activities and from a financial point of view. He/she analyses the key risk indicators (KRI) and assesses the possible effects should the threats materialise, hypothesising various scenarios (what-if-analysis).
Starting from risk analysis, he/she evaluates the current risk policies and procedures to ensure that proper checks are in force in all Company units. If he/she identifies critical issues or weaknesses (vulnerability assessment), he/she proposes updates and modifications to the Company risk policy or enterprise risk management system (ERM). He/she is responsible for putting in place control systems and strategic intervention plans in order to prevent risk, mitigate the damage in case of failure in such prevention, or transfer the risk to third parties to protect corporate value.

He/She is responsible for:

• creating business continuity plans in order to manage interruptions to the Company activities;
• defining crisis management processes and adopting new operative protocols and regulations;
• updating procedures to the current standards;
• assisting in the stipulation of insurance cover;

The Risk Manager has to establish the risk level the Company is willing to accept (risk appetite) and develop strategies to keep the exposure to risk below a certain safety threshold.

He/She collaborates with managers, supervisors, and workers at every level to ensure that the procedures introduced are respected in each department. He/she also carries out risk policy training for staff to increase risk awareness related to the work they do.
