Manager Model Risk Management Jobs in Norman, OK

Servicing Risk Management partners with Midland Mortgage Operations to strengthen the control environment, identify and assess operational risk, and ensure timely, well-supported responses to audits and regulatory exams. This role is ideal for a public accounting professional who enjoys applying an assurance mindset in an operational setting - evaluating processes, testing controls, documenting evidence, and driving practical remediation with business partners.

Rather than performing traditional audit testing, this role focuses on forward-looking risk identification, root cause analysis, and practical risk mitigation within a highly regulated mortgage servicing environment. The Risk Analyst serves as a trusted risk subject matter expert to internal business units and as a liaison between Mortgage Operations and Internal and External oversight bodies (Internal Audit, Enterprise Risk Management, FHA, etc.) translating enterprise risk expectations into practical, operationally sound solutions.

This role exists to coordinate and track requests from Compliance, ERM, Internal Audit, and regulators; gather and organize supporting documentation; draft and QC responses; and elevate risks, issues, or timeline concerns to management. In addition, the analyst will participate in process analysis projects focused on identifying risks and areas where operational procedures can be strengthened, documenting observations, and collaborating with stakeholders to address gaps and improve controls.

Key Responsibilities:

• Identify and assess operational risk across the Mortgage Servicing division, including regulatory, process, control, and execution risks.
• Partner directly with Mortgage Operations leaders and teams to evaluate risk exposure and develop practical, sustainable mitigation strategies.
• Serve as a risk subject matter expert and liaison between Mortgage Operations and Enterprise Risk Management, ensuring alignment with enterprise risk frameworks while remaining grounded in operational reality.
• Facilitate risk discussions, risk assessments, and issue analysis with operational stakeholders, focusing on root cause and forward-looking risk prevention.
• Support the development, documentation, and enhancement of controls, procedures, and governance processes in response to identified risks.
• Assist Operations in understanding risk expectations related to regulatory requirements, internal policies, and enterprise risk standards.
• Contribute to risk reporting, issue tracking, and remediation oversight, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and executive-ready communication.
