  • Evaluate business activities and processes against required policies and standards to strengthen risk management quality and ensure regulatory alignment.
  • Coordinate with operations line staff and internal control groups across the second and third lines of defense to develop corrective action plans that address identified control failures.
  • Conduct issue quality reviews in line with issue management standards, ensuring findings are accurately documented, tracked, and resolved in a timely manner.
  • Produce standardized risk and controls reporting that provides reliable, actionable information to support decision-making by senior management, governance committees, and regulators.
  • Participate in internal and external audit engagements, coordinating responses and facilitating the remediation of audit findings across the Asset Servicing Operations team.
Required Qualifications & Skills
  • Significant experience in operational risk management, compliance, audit, or a related controls function within financial services.
  • Demonstrated ability to identify, measure, and manage key risks and controls across complex operational environments.
  • Experience designing and executing controls frameworks, including sustainable process improvements that reduce risk over time.
  • Working knowledge of compliance regulations, risk management principles, and industry best practices relevant to financial services operations.
  • Analytical capability to evaluate complex risk and control processes, translate findings into clear recommendations, and communicate these effectively to senior stakeholders.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage confidently at senior management level and across multiple business functions.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, and Word, with the ability to use these tools to build risk reporting and present findings clearly.
Beneficial Skills & Qualifications
  • Experience working within or alongside Asset Servicing, Markets Operations, or a similar financial services operational environment.
  • Familiarity with governance committee operations, including meeting coordination, agenda management, and action item tracking.
  • Exposure to new business initiative review processes or regulatory change programs in a financial services context.
  • Master's degree in a relevant discipline such as finance, risk management, or business administration.
