Senior Risk & Assurance Partner. Up to £70,000. Hybrid - 2 days per week in Lancashire HQ, plus site visits and home working.

Make Your Impact in Risk & Assurance

We're strengthening our Internal Controls & Risk team and we're looking for a Senior Risk & Assurance Partner to help shape how we protect our people, assets, and reputation.

This isn't box-ticking. It's a hands-on, high-impact role where you'll be trusted to deliver assurance reviews, sharpen risk frameworks, and influence senior leaders across every part of our business — manufacturing, warehousing & logistics, retail, and head office.

You'll join a close-knit team of three, reporting directly into the Head of Internal Controls & Risk. Together, you'll drive a proactive risk culture and continuous improvement agenda that really adds value.

What You'll Be Doing

• Leading and delivering risk-based assurance reviews across the business.
• Developing and embedding control and risk management frameworks.
• Supporting business continuity and crisis management planning.
• Providing oversight of compliance and insurance frameworks.
• Acting as a senior point of expertise within the team, guiding and mentoring colleagues.
• Partnering with senior leaders to build ownership of risk and assurance.
• Presenting findings and insights with a solutions-focused approach.

What We're Looking For

• Solid experience in risk management, internal audit, or assurance (retail or multi-site preferred).
• A track record of delivering independent assurance reviews and improving controls.
• Broader compliance and insurance knowledge would be a plus.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills at senior level.
• Adaptable, resilient, and confident working in a fast-paced, changing environment.
• Professional qualification (CMIIA, CIA, ACA, ACCA or equivalent) preferred.

Why Join Us?

• A salary with flexibility in how you work — 2 days at HQ, plus site visits and home working.
• A role with visibility and influence, working directly with senior leaders.
• The chance to be part of a growing, collaborative team making a real difference.
• If you're ready to take the next step in your risk & assurance career and want a role where your expertise will truly count, we'd love to hear from you
