connect across risk types
(e.g., operational, compliance, technology, conduct, model, financial/credit where relevant) and support a consistent view of the risk profile.
- Translate methodological requirements into
GRC platform, product and data specifications
, partnering with Platform and engineering teams to build scalable, intuitive workflows.
- Lead the
global standardization
of global ERM methodologies while enabling smart local adaptations to meet regulatory expectations in each geo.
- Design and drive the
integration of ERM programs in new geos
, ensuring that new launches start already aligned with group‑level risk standards and governance.
- Define and embed
AI/agent use‑cases
into ERM workflows (e.g., risk/control suggestions, narrative pre‑population, quality checks), with clear human‑in‑the‑loop governance.
- Use AI and analytics to
monitor quality and consistency
of methodologies, surfacing insights and opportunities for continuous improvement.
- Partner with risk leaders (financial and non-financial risks), CRO teams, risk stewards and 1LOD to ensure
strong adoption
and practical usability of ERM frameworks in day‑to‑day decision making.
- Represent ERM methodologies in
governance and decision forums
.
- Create and refine
key risk and performance indicators
for ERM programs, enabling better visibility on program effectiveness, maturity and trends.

leading complex risk initiatives end‑to‑end, from design to rollout, with limited oversight.

- Demonstrated
stakeholder management and influence without formal authority
, especially across product, risk, compliance and platform/engineering teams.
- Comfort working with
data and analytics
(e.g., querying datasets, interpreting dashboards, defining metrics) to guide decisions on methodology and program performance.
