> Risk Identification and Assessment: Collaborate with stakeholders to identify, assess, and document non-financial risks, ensuring that risk exposures are understood and appropriately managed.
> Quality Assurance and Issue Resolution: Conduct and support independent quality assurance reviews of risk assessments and controls. Identify and escalate thematic issues as needed and partner with stakeholders to drive timely remediation.
> Data Analysis and Reporting: Analyze risk and control data to identify trends, emerging risks, and control gaps. Prepare insightful reports and presentations for senior management and governance forums.
> Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams (e.g., Operational Risk, Compliance, Financial Crimes, Technology, and other NFR teams) to ensure alignment and successful delivery of risk and control programs.
> Continuous Improvement: Identify opportunities to strengthen the risk and control environment, leveraging data analytics, process improvements, and industry best practices.
> Local Team Oversight: Lead oversight of the local NFRA team, providing day to day leadership, direction, and escalation support to ensure timely, high quality execution of NFRA activities.

What you'll bring to the role:
> At least 6 - 8 relevant years of financial services experience; Big 4/Risk Consulting experience also considered.
> Hands on experience working with enterprise risk programs, particularly risk, process, and control assessment and validation programs.
> Strong technical understanding of the financial services regulatory environment, with a focus on Operational, Compliance, and/or Financial Crimes Risk.
> Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written; ability to tailor communication to technical and non-technical audiences.
> Experience leading, managing, or providing oversight of teams, including setting priorities, providing direction and feedback, and supporting development.
> Proven ability to prioritize in a fast moving, constantly changing environment, to handle multiple tasks and workstreams simultaneously, and work under fast-paced working environment.
> Advanced Excel knowledge and Data analysis skills; experience working with large data sets, including deconstructing data sets and/or their associated queries.
