• Horizontal Collaboration & Influence: Build strong connections across second line of defense teams and first line partners. Connect frameworks and technical capabilities horizontally to deliver a streamlined, integrated risk experience.

• Team Leadership & Process Evolution: Promote continuous improvement and evolution of processes. Reduce roadblocks for cross-functional partners, set tactical goals for system development, and effectively prioritize competing deliverables.

Skills and Capabilities

• Analytical & Integrated Problem Solving: Exceptional critical thinking with the ability to "connect the dots" across complex data structures, system configurations, and risk taxonomies.

• Technical & Product Fluency: Strong familiarity with relational data models, product development frameworks, and the application of automation tools and AI to drive operational leverage.

• Strategic Influence & Communication: Proven ability to act as a primary liaison and strategic communicator across teams.
