• Maintain the independence required to report material risks and governance concerns transparently
• Build the governance rhythm, reporting and records required for an accountable and audit-ready organization

Why This Role Matters

• Give the CEO and Board a reliable view of principal risks, control effectiveness and remediation priorities
• Ensure governance decisions, delegated authorities and management commitments are documented and followed through
• Strengthen decision-making by connecting strategic, operational, technology and third-party risks
• Protect regulatory and shareholder confidence through complete records, transparent reporting and timely action
• Prevent audit findings and control weaknesses from remaining unresolved or recurring across the organization
• Create a consistent governance operating model without introducing unnecessary complexity into a lean organization

What You Will Actually Do

• Build and maintain the governance, enterprise risk, policy and control frameworks, keeping them aligned with Board-approved authorities
• Shape Board and Committee calendars, coordinate decision-ready materials and drive resolutions and management actions to closure
• Facilitate enterprise risk assessments, challenge risk owners and escalate exposures that exceed approved tolerances
• Monitor policy compliance, control effectiveness, audit findings and regulatory commitments through clear ownership and evidence
• Lead the coordination of internal audits, external audits, regulatory reviews and governance-related shareholder requirements
• Produce concise governance and risk reporting that helps the CEO, Board and management decide where intervention is required

Examples of This Role in Practice

• An emerging operational risk could disrupt Nexus services: challenge the assessment, test the proposed mitigation and escalate the exposure through the appropriate governance forum
• A Board paper lacks a clear recommendation or complete supporting evidence: work with the accountable executive to make it decision-ready before circulation
• An audit finding remains open beyond its target date: identify the barrier, challenge the action owner and escalate when the residual risk is no longer acceptable
• Several policies have overlapping requirements and unclear ownership: simplify the framework, establish accountable owners and implement a practical review cycle
• A regulator requests evidence that a governance commitment has been completed: coordinate a traceable response and validate that the underlying action is operating effectively
• The risk dashboard indicates a deteriorating control environment: identify the underlying pattern and recommend where management or Board intervention is needed
