How This Role Connects to Our Friendship Business Model
RMPM's Friendship Business Model is built on a simple but powerful idea: that sustainable public media grows from genuine relationships - with audiences, communities, and partners. Every role at RMPM contributes to the conditions that make those friendships possible.
For the Risk Management Coordinator, that contribution is foundational.

This role is, at its core, a steward of trust: ensuring that RMPM's relationships with vendors, partners, and the public are protected and sustainable for the long term.
