·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Review ReLondon’s risk register ensuring satisfactory actions are being taken to mitigate identified risks
·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Working as an ambassador for ReLondon with a wide range of stakeholders and representing the interests of London and Londoners
