Asset & Wealth Management
The Asset & Wealth Management Risk and Governance Associate you will play a pivotal role in a high-priority strategic program: the development and implementation of a comprehensive Global Risk Profile.

This role involves collaborating with various stakeholders across the organization to support the development and maintenance of the AWM Risk Profile.

• Project Coordination: Support the Program Management Office (PMO) in tracking milestones, managing documentation, and ensuring the timely delivery of strategic risk workstreams.

2. Risk Analysis & Reporting

• Quantitative Analysis: Develop and maintain the scoring logic used to rate risks across the division.

• Draft detailed Business Requirement Documents (BRD) for automated risk reports.
• Define data sourcing requirements to move from manual reporting to automated, "single-source-of-truth" metrics.
• Lead User Acceptance Testing (UAT) to ensure dashboards accurately reflect the intended risk logic and data integrity.

3. Process Streamlining

• Identify efficiencies in how risk data is collected and reported across different business lines.
  • Ensure alignment with enterprise-wide standards

3. Stakeholder Engagement

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Risk leads and Operational Risk coverage teams, Compliance, and Operations to validate risk assumptions and refine risk appetite statements.
• Meeting Facilitation: Prepare presentation materials for Risk Committees and Board-level updates regarding the progress of the strategic risk program.
  1. Committee & Council Support
• Prepare high-quality presentation materials for council/Committee meetings.
• Engage with senior stakeholders to identify "deep dive" topics for upcoming meetings.
