• Participate in designing new controls, support control testing, validation, and tuning.

• Aggregate, analyze, and communicate risk results to stakeholders; elevate material concerns to BU leaders and governance committees.
• Oversee adherence to risk appetite limits, including risk identification, prioritization, and acceptance for current and emerging risks.
• Provide risk management expertise for strategic initiatives; promote consistent practices and support a strong privacy and risk culture across the enterprise.
• Monitor, report, and maintain processes related to emerging risks, regulatory expectations, and enterprise risk‑monitoring requirements.
• Coordinate and prepare materials for regulatory exams, audits, working groups, and committee meetings.
• Develop and maintain strong relationships with first-, second-, and third‑line partners; collaborate on risk documentation, remediation plans, monitoring, and closure validation.
• Conduct root‑cause analysis for control weaknesses or threshold breaches; identify governance exceptions, issues, and controls for an aggregate risk view.
• Communicate and present risk materials in various forums; provide training and awareness to promote positive risk management behaviors.
