- Provide expert analysis on operational and insurable exposures to support decisions involving risk reduction, risk retention, and insurance strategy.
- Help maintain risk registers, reporting tools, and dashboards that give leadership clear visibility into emerging issues and overall risk trends.
- Contribute to stronger governance practices by supporting structured reviews, consistent documentation, and actionable risk insight for senior stakeholders.
- Partner with business and site leadership to integrate risk considerations into operating plans, capital projects, and broader strategic initiatives.
- Review control effectiveness and promote ongoing improvement efforts that reduce vulnerability and improve resilience across operations.
- Support enterprise efforts to manage major hazard risk by collaborating with operational and functional teams on prevention-focused risk practices.
