• Build and maintain strong relationships with Police, regulatory authorities, security vendors, and external partners. 
• Prepare detailed evidence briefs to support Police action and court outcomes.
• Partner with Format Partners to assess and mitigate risks for new builds, renewals, and venue acquisitions, while contributing to company-wide risk policies, procedures, and training materials.
