SUMMARY:
Are you the kind of professional who sees risk before it becomes a headline? Do policies, frameworks, and governance excite you because you know they protect and enable real business growth?
A well-established and forward-thinking organisation based in Pretoria is looking for a Senior Risk & Compliance Officer to take ownership of enterprise-wide risk and compliance — not as a tick-box exercise, but as a strategic business partner.

POSITION INFO:
Your Impact
In this role, you won’t sit on the sidelines. You’ll be at the heart of decision-making, shaping how the business identifies, manages, and mitigates risk while ensuring regulatory compliance across the organisation.
You will:

Drive and continuously enhance the enterprise risk management framework
Lead compliance strategy across legislation, regulations, and internal governance
Act as a trusted advisor to EXCO, senior leadership, and the board
Identify emerging risks and translate them into practical, business-ready solutions
Embed a strong risk-aware culture across the organisation
Oversee audits, regulatory engagements, and compliance monitoring
Develop policies, controls, and reporting that actually work in practice

What You Bring

Senior-level experience in Risk, Compliance, Governance, or Internal Controls
Strong working knowledge of South African regulatory frameworks
Proven ability to influence senior stakeholders and challenge constructively
A strategic mindset with the confidence to operate independently
Excellent analytical, communication, and leadership skills
Relevant qualifications in Risk, Compliance, Law, Finance, or related fields

Why This Role?

High-visibility, trusted leadership position
Opportunity to shape and modernise risk & compliance practices
Stable, reputable organisation with a long-term vision
Pretoria-based role with real strategic influence

Ideal for someone who:
â Thinks commercially, not just compliantly
â Enjoys building frameworks from insight, not templates
â Wants to leave a lasting governance legacy
If you’re ready to take ownership, influence strategy, and elevate risk and compliance to the next level — this is your move.
Apply now or reach out for a confidential discussion.
