You will contribute to building a proactive, sustainable risk and controls environment by maintaining and evolving risk and control self-assessments, strengthening internal control design and testing, and supporting regulatory and audit engagements.

You will also play a key role in promoting a culture of risk awareness by developing training materials, coaching teams, and sharing best practices that enhance organizational capability and decision-making. Success in this role will come from your ability to navigate complexity, collaborate effectively across functions, and drive meaningful outcomes that strengthen risk management maturity across the enterprise.
