About the Team

The Enterprise Risk Management squad sets the global standards for how Nubank identifies, assesses and manages

risk across the enterprise

- spanning operational, compliance, technology, conduct and other non‑financial risks, and strongly interfacing with financial risk areas (credit, market, liquidity, capital, treasury). As part of the

ERM Methodology Team

, you will sit at the intersection of risk, product and platform: shaping global frameworks, embedding them into data and systems, and scaling them with AI‑enabled workflows so that ERM becomes both a competitive advantage and an enabler of safe growth across products, portfolios and geographies. You will be a reference for methodology decisions, influencing senior stakeholders across multiple lines of defense and risk types.

What you'll do

  • Own the

end‑to‑end design and evolution

of ERM methodologies, ensuring coherence across programs and geographies.

  • Ensure ERM methodologies

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.

  • Communicate clearly and regularly about ERM methodology initiatives and projects with a wide variety of stakeholders (risk teams in different countries, financial risk functions, internal audit, leadership, product and platform).

What we're looking for

  • Solid experience in

Enterprise Risk / Operational Risk / Non‑Financial Risk

, with hands‑on ownership of at least one major program or framework (RCSA, control testing, Issue Management, NP&F or equivalent enterprise‑level framework).

  • Proven track record as a

senior individual contributor

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

  • Experience working in

multi‑geo or global environments

, balancing global standards with local regulatory expectations.

  • Strong ability to translate

risk methodologies into systems and data

(platform requirements, data models, workflow design) in partnership with engineering and product.

  • 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.

  • Experience defining and tracking

metrics, SLAs and KPIs

for risk/controls or governance processes.

  • Strong written and verbal communication in

English

, including the ability to explain complex risk concepts to non‑experts.

Nice to Have

  • Prior experience in

ERM, operational risk, internal controls

in financial services or fintech.

  • Previous work in

designing frameworks, methodologies and governance

for risk (financial and/or non‑financial), influencing multiple lines of defense and senior stakeholders across geos.

  • Exposure to

AI/ML or advanced analytics

applied to risk, controls, data quality or governance (e.g., LLMs, anomaly detection, smart suggestions).

  • Experience working closely with

platform / GRC / risk systems

(e.g., JIRA‑based workflows, custom risk platforms, governance tooling).

  • Familiarity with

regulatory expectations

for risks and governance in Brazil and/or other key markets, including reading requirements and translating them into practical frameworks.

  • Background in

high‑growth tech/fintech environments

, navigating the tension between speed, innovation and robust risk management.
