• Extend second-line risk coverage into areas such as pharmacy, financial, and clinical risk in partnership with relevant domain owners.
• Partner with third-party risk and business resilience stakeholders to ensure vendor, concentration, and resilience risks are appropriately represented in the enterprise risk view.
• Automate recurring activities across risk-register maintenance, assessment intake, evidence collection, and reporting to improve efficiency and scalability.
• Support first-line teams during cybersecurity compliance audits and contribute to the continued development of the broader GRC program.
• Identify opportunities to strengthen governance, improve risk visibility, and enable the organization to move quickly while maintaining appropriate controls.
