Risk and Control manager

Over de baan

As a Risk & Controls Manager at Landal you are accountable for the design, ownership and ongoing effectiveness of enterprise risk management, compliance and internal controls framework, ensuring alignment with the organization’s strategy, risk appetite and regulatory obligations. We have built the initial foundation of our Internal Controls Program, including flowcharts, Risk & Control Matrices, and remediation plans for key Tier A processes. Now, we are entering the next phase. A large part of the framework still needs to be designed, implemented, tested, and embedded across the organization. While building the initial foundation, structural gaps in ownership, tooling, and governance were exposed that now need a dedicated leader to resolve. As our new Risk & Controls Manager, you take ownership of completing and maturing this framework, stabilising governance structures, and shaping a sustainable three-lines-of-defence model that supports both day-to-day operations and Landal’s long-term strategic ambitions.
