Senior Risk Manager - Legal, Governance & Corporate Affairs

About the role

Reporting to the VP Legal, Governance & Corporate Affairs, you will develop MOIA's risk management function end-to-end, from enterprise risk assessments to actionable mitigation, working as a senior individual contributor with the opportunity to grow as the function scales.

What you'll do

• Build and continuously improve MOIA's risk management function (principles, processes, governance, and reporting) and make it scalable and business-friendly.
• Drive enterprise risk assessments (incl. workshops and deep dives), challenge assumptions constructively, and ensure risks are clearly articulated, prioritized, and owned.
• Operationalize risk frameworks by translating them into pragmatic routines (risk register, KRIs, mitigation tracking) that support decision-making and execution.
• Partner closely with risk owners across the organization, align on risk appetite, clarify accountability, and follow through on mitigation plans with clear timelines.
• Collaborate with Compliance, Internal Control System (ICS), Internal Audit, Governance, Finance, Product, Safety, Legal, and Corporate Affairs on cross-cutting topics such as controls discussions, assurance activities, and incident learnings.
• Contribute to MOIA's evolving governance model by defining interfaces, cadences, and decision formats that strengthen transparency and accountability.
• Create executive-ready risk narratives and recommendations for leadership, turning complexity into options and next steps.

What you'll need

• Several years of professional experience in enterprise, operational, or financial risk management (or a closely related field such as internal controls/ICS, internal audit, or compliance), ideally in a fast-paced, scaling environment.
• Track record of building pragmatic risk processes and governance that teams actually use, without slowing down delivery.
• Strong analytical skills and sound judgement: you can structure ambiguity, challenge constructively, and translate insights into clear recommendations.
• Excellent stakeholder management and facilitation skills: comfortable working with senior leaders as well as operational teams.
• Hands-on ownership mindset: you connect strategy and execution, follow through, and help drive mitigation to completion.
• Experience with risk frameworks and methods, and confidence working with data and tools to support decisions.
• Fluent in German and English, with the ability to collaborate effectively in cross-functional, international teams.

What they offer

• Competitive salary (including bonus)
• Hybrid work setup with flexibility to work remotely up to 6 weeks per year from over 35 countries
• Flexible working hours and work arrangements
• 30 vacation days, sabbatical and unpaid leave option
• Learning environment with continuous learning days, trainings, coaching, and conferences
• Mental health support and wellness benefits
