Job summary

The UK Hydrographic Office (UKHO) is a trusted provider of hydrographic data, products and services that support safe, sustainable and efficient navigation around the world. Operating in both the defence and commercial sectors, UKHO plays a critical role in enabling global maritime activity. That mission brings complexity, scrutiny and risk which is why strong risk management and effective governance are fundamental to our success.

The Risk and Governance Manager is a pivotal role in ensuring the organisation can take informed decisions, manage uncertainty confidently and deliver its strategic objectives.

The Risk and Governance Manager sits at the heart of how UKHO makes confident and well‑evidenced decisions. This is a role with real influence: shaping how risk is understood, talked about and embedded across the organisation, and ensuring governance is not just compliant but genuinely enables delivery. Your impact comes from bringing clarity and coherence: making sure risks are visible, understood and acted on at the right level, and that governance supports good decisions rather than slowing them down.

The main focus is impact: improving risk maturity and helping leaders see whats coming over the horizon before it becomes an issue. If you want a role where your expertise in enterprise risk management genuinely shapes outcomes this is a chance to make your mark.

We are seeking an enthusiastic and motivated individual for the position to support us in delivering our vision To be the beacon for quality, innovative maritime navigation solutions; trusted by customers and partners worldwide.
