The Role We Want You For

Under the direction of and in collaboration with the GRC Manager, the Sr. GRC Analyst, Risk Management is the primary owner and operational steward of the Enterprise Risk Register. This role is responsible for ensuring all identified risk is accurately captured, properly rated, assigned to an accountable owner, actively worked, and driven to resolution across the Clayco organization. The analyst functions as the operational hub of the risk lifecycle — from initial intake and classification through remediation coordination, escalation, stakeholder accountability, and reporting. This is a high-accountability, process-driven role that demands both technical depth and organizational influence. The analyst transforms the risk register from a static document into a dynamic governance instrument — one that delivers a clear, current, and quantified view of organizational risk exposure to leadership. Additional responsibilities will be assigned as deemed necessary. Any travel is usually planned in advance, but issues may arise which warrant immediate travel to one or more satellite locations.
