- Develop risk and control communications and reporting related to RCSA, Issue Management, and other key products or business activities.
- Strengthen front-line partners' understanding of the Risk Management Framework through coaching, training, and guidance.
Required Qualifications:- 3-5 years of risk and control management experience, demonstrated through work experience, training, military service, or education.
- 5+ years of experience in the financial services industry.
Desired Qualifications:- Extensive experience in risk management, including designing, implementing, and enhancing risk management programs within complex operational environments.
- Strong understanding of risk, audit, and control principles, with the ability to apply these concepts across products, processes, and technology-enabled environments.
- Deep financial services background, including a clear understanding of how a bank operates and the associated regulatory landscape.
- Demonstrated ability to independently identify, assess, control, monitor, and report risks and controls, using both qualitative and quantitative insights.
- Senior-level capability to work autonomously, exercise sound judgment, and represent the function effectively across the business.
- Proven ability to influence, negotiate, and build strong partnerships with key stakeholders across multiple teams and lines of business.
- Strong critical-thinking and problem-solving skills, with a track record of identifying opportunities to innovate, streamline, and improve the business.
