Join our Risk and Assurance Team at L&Q:

L&Q is one of the UK’s largest housing associations and providers of social and affordable homes. We house around 250,000 people primarily across Greater London and Greater Manchester. Our purpose is simple – to provide social homes and landlord services that everyone can be proud of.

This role provides an opportunity to accelerate our capabilities around our risk management software, risk analysis and reporting. By getting a grip on the capability of our risk management software you’ll simplify processes for users and support greater compliance with the risk and assurance framework. Through improving the risk reports you’ll help us to better manage our risks and provide assurance across a large organisation, enabling better decision making and helping us deliver reliable, repeatable and consistent services for our residents.

In this role you’ll take the lead on working with our risk management software, improving the set up and creating reports. You’ll monitor the risk registers in our corporate risk management software (Riskonnect’s Active Risk Manager (ARM)) system and undertake analysis to identify trends, risk and control inter-dependencies. You’ll review the quality of the risk, control and assurance information to support continuous improvement.

The FTC will play a crucial role in building and embedding our approach to assessing and reporting compliance with our risk and assurance framework.

The role will report to the Head of Risk and Assurance and work with our two Risk and Assurance Managers. This small team sits within a larger Transformation and Change team who lead on the Group’s large Transformation portfolio – central to the delivery of our new 5 year corporate strategy.

If this sounds like you, we would love for you to apply!

Your impact in the role:

• You’ll lead work to strengthen and simplify the set-up of our risk management software, creating dashboards and reports to support understanding of risk and assurance across the business.
• You’ll support efforts to improve the quality of the information input into the system through guidance, monitoring, reporting and training.
• You’ll create reports that will establish a reliable repeatable approach to assessing, analysing and reporting on compliance with the risk and assurance framework.
• You’ll create reports that present our current risk and assurance position, analysing trends, identify risk and control similarities and inter dependencies.
• You support the quarterly reporting to leadership and Governance Groups including our Audit and Risk Committee.
• You’ll support and coach risk owners and risk champions.
• You’ll also support the approach to critical incident and business continuity planning and testing.

Key relationships:

• You’ll be part of a small central team that supports the business in understanding its risks, controls and assurance. You’ll work with a group of risk champions from across the business, tailoring risk reports and dashboards to better help them support their leaders in managing risk.

What you'll bring:

• Experience of administering, developing the set up and training on using risk management software systems/tools. Experience with Riskonnect’s Active Risk Manager ideal but not essential.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to assimilate, manage and analyse complex data to inform robust data based recommendations.
• A sound knowledge of risk management principles.
• Successful managing a range of stakeholders.
• Initiative and be self-starting and adaptable.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills and ability to present complex information in a concise and engaging way.
