Head of Group Risk & Decision Governance

Miami, FL | Privately Held Industrial Group (Vehicle Manufacturing)

Summary

GVW Group is a privately held, operator-driven industrial group with multiple portfolio companies in vehicle manufacturing and related operating businesses. As the group continues to scale, this role exists to ensure that enterprise risk is visible, deliberate, and owned at the right level, and that decision rights, capital commitments, and accountability remain aligned across the platform.

This is a hands-on, enterprise operating role, not an advisory, audit-only, or compliance-only function.

The Head of Group Risk & Decision Governance is accountable for how major decisions are made, escalated, and governed across the group, enabling growth with speed without fragility.

Role Purpose

Risk at GVW is not managed through policy alone. It is governed through:

• Decision rights

• Capital commitments

• Authority and accountability

This role exists to ensure that:

• Decisions carrying material risk are made at the right level.

• Long dated or irreversible commitments are understood before they are made.

• Authority, incentives, and controls remain aligned as the organization scales.

• Risk is embedded in how the business operates, not handled after the fact.

Key Responsibilities

Enterprise Decision Governance

• Design, implement, and enforce decision rights, approval thresholds, and escalation paths across the group.

• Identify and correct drift between documented authority and actual practice.

• Ensure separation between commercial incentives, risk acceptance, and execution.

Capital Commitment & Business Risk

• Govern risk related to capital allocation, large investments, long-term contracts, guarantees, and structural commitments.

• Evaluate risk based on irreversibility, duration, control, and downside exposure.

• Embed risk discipline into acquisitions, integrations, and major strategic initiatives.

Operational & Enterprise Risk Oversight

• Maintain a forward-looking view of enterprise risk across operations, supply chain, products, technology, cyber, and people.

• Surface material risks early and ensure they are discussed factually and without politics.

• Lead scenario planning, pre-mortems, and executive decision reviews.

Crisis Preparedness & Resilience

• Own crisis-readiness frameworks and escalation protocols.

• Coordinate preparedness and response for high-impact events including:

• Operational or safety incidents

• Cyber or technology failures

• Supply-chain disruption

• Material litigation or reputational events

Leadership of Control Functions

• Direct oversight of Internal Audit and Information Security (CISO).

• Ensure controls support sound decision-making, rather than substitute for it.

• Ensure accountability for remediation, not just reporting.

Experience & Capability Alignment

• Senior leadership experience in industrial, manufacturing, infrastructure, transportation, or other asset-heavy environments

• Experience owning large, complex operations or transformations, where risk shows up through capital, safety, scale, and execution.

• A track record of governing decisions, not just advising on risk.

• Comfort holding peers accountable and operating close to ownership and senior leadership.

• Exposure to multiple control domains (e.g., operations, finance, audit, technology, safety, compliance), with clear authority over outcomes.
