Senior Risk & Compliance Associate

The role

Join our Risk, Compliance & Safety team as Senior Risk & Compliance Associate and help build the governance infrastructure that keeps a fast-growing, international F&B company resilient. Your two primary focus areas are enterprise risk management and insurance management - while also contributing to business continuity, data privacy, and third-party risk. Based in Copenhagen, you will work closely with our Global Risk & Resilience Manager and collaborate with stakeholders across all our countries of operation.

Key responsibilities

  • Maintain the ERM framework and own the risk register lifecycle end-to-end - data quality, scoring, ownership, and remediation tracking
  • Act as a sparring partner for business units throughout the full ERM cycle - from risk identification to treatment and review
  • Support insurance renewals - preparing data packs, coordinating inputs, and maintaining the insurance register
  • Track claims, coverage gaps, and premium benchmarks, acting as the coordination point between the business and external brokers
  • Support development and testing of Business Continuity Plans across key functions and geographies
  • Contribute to GDPR compliance activities including RoPA maintenance, DPIAs, and DPA tracking
  • Execute third-party due diligence processes and maintain due diligence registers
  • Prepare risk reporting for senior management and governance bodies, turning data into clear, actionable insights
  • Contribute to the development and maintenance of risk and compliance policies, ensuring they are current, clearly written, and embedded in practice across the business

Who are you

You build things that hold up under real pressure - not just in a presentation. You are structured, analytically sharp, and proactive. You take ownership of complex frameworks, manage multiple workstreams independently, and communicate clearly across functions, seniority levels, and geographies. You thrive in complexity, take the detail seriously, and know how to translate risk into language that drives decisions at the executive level.

What you'll bring

  • 5+ years of experience in GRC, risk management, or a closely related field
  • Hands-on experience with ERM frameworks - risk registers, KRIs, risk appetite, and governance reporting
  • Experience with insurance management or renewal processes is a strong advantage
  • Familiarity with ISO 31000, COSO ERM, or similar methodologies
  • BCM, GDPR, or third-party risk experience is a plus
  • Advanced Excel and experience with GRC or ERM tools (e.g. Diligent, EQS)
  • Professional fluency in English; experience in a multi-country environment preferred
  • Power BI or equivalent data visualisation tool experience is an advantage
  • Familiarity with AI tools - including Claude - for productivity, analysis, and process automation is a plus
