  • Support control monitoring (supplemental to BU process owners testing) and compile key operational risk trends, activities, and events

  • Support thematic risk reporting (levels, trends, causes)

  • Categorize controls and map against risks and processes (e.g., cross-BU process-control mapping)

  • Support BU with identification of risks and spotting areas where product changes or improved controls may be required within New Product
     

Governance Duties (NPG):

  • Support risk management practices within the business

  • Maintain risk dashboards and key risk indicators (KRIs) for ongoing monitoring

  • Minimum Requirements: 
      

  • At least 2 years of experience in operational risk management (e.g., within Risk and/or Internal Audit function) 

  • Understanding of critical operational risk management lifecycle activities

  • Project management, communication, and interpersonal skills

  • Experience in process governance, with an understanding of processes that align with policies, regulatory frameworks, and/or operational standards

  • Sound analytical and problem-solving skills, with an ability to analyze data, identify trends, and evaluate risk scenarios effectively  
     

Preferred Qualifications:  
 

    • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Business, Risk Mgmt., or related field; advanced degrees (e.g., MBA, MSc) or certifications are advantageous

    • Experience in at least one of the following:
