Where a corporate risk manager can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a corporate risk manager already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Corporate risk managers identify and assess potential threats and opportunities to a company, and give advice on how to deal with them. They create preventive plans to avoid and reduce risks, and put plans in place for when the company is threatened. They coordinate risk management aspects across the different functions of an organisation and are responsible for technical activities such as risk assessment, risk mapping and insurance purchase. They report on risk issues to the senior management and the company's board.

Also known as risk and insurance consultant, corporate risk department manager, operational risk manager, chief risk executive, chief risk officer, risk management director, risk management specialist.
