About this role
At Quantum Systems, we develop advanced autonomous systems for defense and security across multiple domains, combining unmanned platforms with integrated software and AI. As Head of Risk Governance, you will join the GRC leadership team and shape Quantum Systems’ Group-wide approach to risk management and internal controls.
You will build a pragmatic, scalable framework that meets applicable German corporate law requirements and provides management with a consolidated, decision-relevant view of risk. Within our integrated GRC model, Risk Governance sets the common framework, enables implementation, provides constructive challenge and consolidates the Group risk view. Business Owners remain accountable for identifying, assessing, mitigating and monitoring risks within their areas.
What is your Day to Day
Mission
- Build and implement a Group-wide Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework that supports early risk identification, clear escalation and decision-relevant management reporting.
- Define a simple, scalable risk methodology, taxonomy and governance cycle that Business Owners adapt and apply to manage material risks within their areas.
- Build and continuously enhance a pragmatic, risk-based Internal Control System (ICS) focused on entity-level controls and selected key controls over mission-critical processes.
- Set common standards, coordinate and challenge management assessments and track remediation, while Control Owners remain accountable for operating controls and implementing corrective actions.
- Develop a consolidated, forward-looking view of the Group’s risk exposure using meaningful indicators, scenarios and quantified impacts where appropriate, and embed these insights into strategy, planning, budgeting, forecasting and key business decisions.
- Maintain clear responsibilities across the integrated GRC model : Risk Governance owns the common risk and control methodology and consolidated management view; specialist GRC functions own their subject-matter frameworks and risk responses; Group Assurance independently evaluates effectiveness.
