  • Engage with key business stakeholders and control functions to secure buy-in and facilitate the smooth implementation of the redesigned risk assessment.
  • Collaborate with the Operational Risk Framework team to ensure alignment and connectivity with broader operational risk framework components, including Risk and Controls Assessment.
  • Work closely with the Project Manager and Business Analyst overseeing the implementation of the redesigned risk assessment, ensuring alignment with strategic objectives and operational efficiency.

Skills and Qualifications:

  • In-depth knowledge of industry best practices related to risk assessment.
  • Familiarity with Financial Risk frameworks and Operational Risk frameworks, including Risk and Controls assessments and risk profiles.
  • Strong communication skills to convey complex concepts clearly to senior stakeholders, engage in constructive discussions, and adapt based on feedback.
  • Proven experience in dealing with Auditors and Regulators, with the ability to define action plans to address audit findings, coordinate execution, and produce high-quality closure documentation.
  • Previous experience working with senior stakeholders in a high-pressure, dynamic environment.
  • Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills to assess risks and controls, coupled with a proactive approach to mitigate identified issues.
  • A demonstrated ability to develop and communicate a sound strategy that addresses both immediate commitments and long-term strategic objectives.
  • Strong oral and written communication skills, capable of distilling complex topics into understandable summaries with clear conclusions and rationale.
  • The individual will play a supportive role during a period of significant change for this function, thus prior experience with change initiatives is advantageous.
