Lead Divisional Risk Advisor

The Lead Divisional Risk Advisor plays a critical role in partnering with business and sales leaders across Canada and Latin America to bring risk insights into everyday decision-making. This role blends hands-on execution with strategic advisory, helping teams identify, assess, and address risks in a way that supports commercial outcomes and operational resilience. You will translate complex risk concepts into clear, actionable insights that resonate with diverse stakeholders, including senior leaders and executives. Operating in a less prescriptive regulatory environment, you'll rely on sound judgment, strong relationships, and a pragmatic approach to drive meaningful impact. Success in this role requires curiosity, confidence to challenge constructively, and a willingness to "roll up your sleeves" to get work done end-to-end.

This Hybrid Role (in office Tues-Wed-Thurs) can be based in Toronto, Canada, Malvern, PA (USA), or Mexico City, MX.

Responsibilities:

• Partner with sales and business teams across Canada and LATAM to identify, assess, and communicate risks in clear, practical business terms.

• Provide risk advisory, oversight, and assurance aligned with enterprise risk frameworks while adapting to local business needs.

• Translate complex or abstract risk issues into compelling, audience-appropriate narratives that inform decisions and drive action.

• Build and evolve risk approaches, tools, and frameworks that enable effective risk management in a less prescriptive environment.

• Deliver thoughtful, business-aligned risk insights that go beyond checklist-based execution.

• Evaluate the design and effectiveness of controls and recommend pragmatic, commercially viable improvements.

• Support the development and execution of short- and long-term risk strategies that enhance business resilience.

• Challenge assumptions, methodologies, and decisions constructively when they do not fully address underlying risks or business realities.

• Advise on new and evolving products, services, and processes to ensure risks are identified early and managed effectively.

• Monitor emerging risks and trends across regions and help define meaningful measures of risk effectiveness.

• Build trusted relationships across geographies and functions, serving as a credible, solutions-oriented risk advisor.

• Contribute to enterprise risk initiatives and special projects as needed.

• Experience working with risk systems (e.g., Archer or similar platforms) preferred.

• Consulting or advisory background (e.g., Big 4) and/or experience in less regulated environments is a plus.
• Spanish and/or Portuguese language skills are a plus.
• Experience supporting or partnering with sales or client-facing teams; multi-regional experience (Canada and/or LATAM).
