Enterprise Risk Management Consultant

Position Overview

The Enterprise Risk Management Consultant will play a key role in designing, enhancing, and operationalizing the organization's ERM framework. This individual will collaborate with executive leadership and stakeholders across multiple business units to identify, assess, monitor, and report on enterprise risks while helping drive a strong risk-aware culture throughout the organization.

This is not a SOX compliance or internal audit-focused role. Instead, the organization is seeking a strategic risk management professional who can provide practical guidance on ERM governance, reporting, risk assessments, and program implementation.

Responsibilities

• Support the ongoing development, implementation, and maturation of the enterprise risk management program.
• Facilitate risk identification, assessment, and prioritization activities across business units.
• Lead and support executive-level risk discussions and presentations.
• Develop and enhance risk governance structures, policies, procedures, and reporting processes.
• Partner with business leaders to integrate risk management practices into operational decision-making.
• Advise leadership on ERM best practices and industry standards.
• Help establish and implement enterprise-wide risk management protocols and controls.
• Prepare risk reports, dashboards, and presentations for senior leadership and governance committees.
• Assist with change management efforts related to ERM adoption throughout the organization.
• Deliver training and educational programs to stakeholders on risk management concepts and processes.
• Provide leadership and mentorship within the newly formed ERM function.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support strategic risk initiatives and organizational objectives.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of Enterprise Risk Management experience, including building, implementing, or maturing ERM programs.
• Demonstrated experience developing ERM frameworks, governance models, and reporting processes.
• Strong experience facilitating discussions with senior executives and business stakeholders.
• Ability to operate independently and serve as a trusted advisor to leadership teams.
• Experience working within large, complex, decentralized organizations.
• Strong communication, presentation, and stakeholder management skills.
• Experience utilizing digital risk management platforms or GRC solutions. Experience with NAVEX IRM is a plus but not required.
• Proven ability to develop and deliver training programs and educational materials.
• Strong leadership capabilities with the ability to influence without direct authority.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience within the insurance industry, professional services, or a law firm environment is preferred but not required.
• Experience supporting compliance, governance, or corporate risk initiatives within highly regulated environments.
• Professional certifications such as CRMA, CERM, CRCMP, PMP, or similar are a plus.
