Risk management and compliance have long since ceased to be topics reserved for the financial sector or healthcare. In a world of increasing regulation, compliance and risk management have become essential components of corporate strategy. Where risk officers once operated largely in the background, they now make a visible contribution to planning and execution.
Odgers specialises in executive search for risk & compliance at C-suite level. We connect organisations with experienced professionals who provide direction in a complex regulatory landscape. From start-ups to multinationals, we map leadership in risk management and support the development of talent.
Big enough to matter, small enough to care.
Risk & Compliance leadership requires a careful approach. It is a strategic function directly intertwined with corporate strategy, decision-making and the licence to operate. Our approach aligns with the context and goals of your organisation and is built around three pillars: Identify, Build and Develop.
We start with the strategic context: the regulatory environment, the complexity of the risk function and the growth strategy. From that foundation, we develop a forward-looking leadership profile.
Through our international network, we build a candidate pool of senior leaders with knowledge of national and supranational regulatory systems and experience in enterprise risk management and compliance and risk management challenges.
Our support does not end at the appointment. We assist with onboarding and integration, ensuring the risk or compliance leader can contribute to the corporate strategy from day one.
The complexity organisations face demands more than knowledge of rules. Leaders in risk and compliance build relationships with regulators, foster a conscientious corporate culture and contribute to strategic decision-making. Through international trade, mergers and acquisitions, they have come to fulfil a key role within organisations.
Risk management and compliance have grown into a structural component of decision-making across many sectors. The need for transparency is increasing, and organisations require leaders who combine technical expertise with management capability, and who shape a culture of diligence.
