POSITION INFO:
Executive: Safety Standards & Assurance
? Johannesburg | ? Sub-Saharan Africa Reach | â Some Travel Required
An opportunity has opened up for a strategic operator with a sharp eye for governance, structure, and safety across complex environments.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced, ever-evolving spaces — someone who can align executive intent with ground-level execution, ensuring that risk management and assurance frameworks aren’t just documented, but truly embedded.
You’ll Be Responsible For:

Developing and implementing a comprehensive Safety, Risk and Assurance Framework.
Managing audits, performance metrics, and reporting across multiple jurisdictions.
Leading the evolution of standards, procedures, and governance aligned with best practice.
Preparing reports, tracking critical business deliverables, and supporting board-level strategy.
Acting as a key link between the MD, Operations, Risk, and Business Development teams.
Advising on incidents, investigations, and outcomes in a consistent and legally sound manner.
Driving alignment on safety and risk between business units, partners, and key stakeholders.

The Ideal Profile:

Minimum 5 years’ experience at senior or executive level in a similar function.
Deep understanding of assurance, governance, and regulatory risk frameworks across African jurisdictions or similar landscapes.
Emotionally intelligent, discreet, and highly organised — with natural leadership presence.
Able to work independently, travel when needed, and handle confidential matters with precision.
Excellent written and verbal communicator, comfortable with executive-level interactions.

This role calls for a strategic doer — someone who can see the full picture, zoom into the detail, and act with authority and calm under pressure.
