A TTS Business Risk and Control Analyst at the Vice President (VP) level is a senior professional specializing in safeguarding financial and operational integrity within Treasury and Trade Solutions (TTS) environments. This critical role sits at the intersection of business operations, risk management, and regulatory compliance, ensuring that complex transaction banking processes are governed by robust and effective controls. Professionals in these jobs are tasked with building a resilient control framework that protects the institution and its clients from operational, compliance, and financial risks. The core responsibility of this profession involves the end-to-end management of a control testing program. Analysts plan, execute, and report on the testing of key controls to validate their design and operational effectiveness. This goes beyond simple checklist reviews; it requires a deep analytical approach to assess whether controls are properly designed to mitigate identified risks and are consistently applied in practice. A typical day might involve reviewing process documentation, sampling transactions, interviewing process owners, and analyzing data for anomalies. A significant part of the role is translating testing results into clear, actionable insights for senior management, often requiring the presentation of complex findings in a concise and impactful manner. Common responsibilities for individuals in these jobs include supervising and mentoring junior team members in testing methodologies, ensuring the testing program adheres to strict timelines and quality standards, and proactively identifying and escalating obstacles. They act as a key liaison, maintaining strong stakeholder relationships across the business (first line of defense), independent risk management (second line), and internal audit (third line). A VP-level analyst provides expert challenge to business stakeholders on the adequacy of their risk management practices and supports them in designing effective remediation plans for any control gaps identified. Typical skills and requirements for this high-level profession include extensive experience in control testing, internal audit, or operational risk management, preferably within transaction banking, corporate banking, or financial services. A strong understanding of TTS products, services, and the associated regulatory landscape is highly advantageous. Essential skills comprise advanced analytical and problem-solving abilities, meticulous attention to detail, and superior communication skills for influencing senior stakeholders. Leadership capabilities are paramount, as the role demands coaching teams, overseeing deliverables, and driving a culture of risk awareness and control excellence. For professionals seeking to advance their career in financial risk control, TTS Business Risk and Control Analyst-VP jobs represent a challenging and impactful pathway, offering the opportunity to protect significant business lines and contribute directly to institutional soundness.
