Senior Aggregate Manager Jobs in Oregon (NOW HIRING)

This position serves as the primary WM&AS fiduciary oversight manager, supporting the WM&AS division and assisting the Chief Fiduciary Officer with the design, execution, and administration of a division-wide fiduciary governance, risk management, and compliance oversight framework. The role provides management-level direction for the WMAS Compliance Officer and related analyst functions and leads the aggregation, analysis, reporting, and escalation of fiduciary, operational, compliance, audit, examination, vendor, and control-related risk matters.

• Escalates significant, overdue, recurring, or high-risk matters to the Chief Fiduciary Officer, WM&AS leadership, applicable committees, and corporate oversight partners, as appropriate.
• Leads audit and examination readiness coordination for WM&AS by organizing risk-related documentation, evidence gathering, consolidated management responses, remediation status reporting, issue validation, leadership updates, examiner-ready materials, and follow-up activities.
