Northam Enterprise & Ops Risk Senior Manager

We're looking for a Senior Risk Manager to drive the implementation and day-to-day management of our risk management framework for the Wise US Broker Dealer franchise, with a particular focus on Operational risk management. This role will provide guidance on risk and control assessments, risk appetite, KRIs, audit and self identified issues, incident management, control monitoring and remediation, and new product initiatives. We need to make sure we're identifying the right risks and design effective scalable controls, including a comprehensive control monitoring program.

What will you be doing?

• Define the key risks inherent in end to end business processes, and coordinate the mapping and documentation of controls.
• Help design a scalable control monitoring program.
• Support first line teams in documenting, solutioning, and prioritising control gaps and drive a culture of proactive issue identification and remediation.
• Ongoing oversight of issue remediation activities using our risk management tool (Optro) to ensure appropriate risk focused prioritisation, and help validate closure of remediated issues.
• Support the development and implementation of key risk indicators, and risk appetite statements.
• Support and drive the creation of dashboards using data analytics tools to report on key risk indicators and identify actionable insights.
• Coordinate the quarterly residual risk assessment process across the risk taxonomy, including loss and incident reporting, to inform our regional risk profile for reporting to local and global risk committees, and to our local board.
• Partnering with ‘first line’ teams across the business to support the design and launch of new products and features by ensuring that key operational risks are identified and mitigated prior to launch.
• Promoting and helping embed a proactive risk culture, making risk meaningful and relevant to everyone at Wise.
