Execute front-line risk assessment activities, including ad hoc reviews and all components of the RCSA
Perform Third-Party Vendor Assessments and Compliance Assessments
Produce monthly risk reporting to keep leadership informed of the current threat landscape
Conduct thorough control testing walkthroughs and prepare high-quality documentation to support testing conclusions
Liaise with business units to ensure testing activities align with broader enterprise risk goals

Requirements:

Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) is required
professional experience specifically within Control Testing, Risk Management, or Audit
Proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel (Pivot Tables/VLOOKUPs), and Adobe Acrobat
Working knowledge of Global Risk Compliance (GRC) tools, specifically IBM OpenPages, is highly desired
Demonstrated experience with Risk and Control design and assessment
Superior analytical and conceptual thinking skills
Ability to work both independently and collaboratively across all levels of management
Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to handle multiple high-priority assignments simultaneously

What we offer:

High Visibility: Work directly with various business units and senior management
Professional Growth: Gain deep exposure to the full Risk and Control Self-Assessment (RCSA) lifecycle and Third-Party Risk Management
Strategic Impact: Influence the remediation of audit and compliance gaps that have a direct effect on the firm’s regulatory standing
Collaborative Culture: Join a team that values active listening, thoughtful questioning, and a "partnership" approach to risk
