Group Risk and Corporate Affairs careers
Group Risk is responsible for managing all the risks that face the organisation, within a holistic framework. It’s both a challenging and exciting time to be in risk management as the environment is changing all the time. Every day, there are new or emerging risks which need to be managed, such as cyber and environmental risks.
Corporate Affairs looks after all our corporate communications, both internal and external. In short, we’re accountable for the stakeholder landscape of the business. This includes government relations and public affairs, as well as community and investor relations. Our focus is on identifying and protecting Standard Bank Group from reputational risks and strengthening the brand through communications.
