The position offers broad exposure to physical and financial energy trading activities, structured transactions, control design, and global coordination with ENGIE HQ in Europe.

• Manage the operational risk incident lifecycle: capture, classification, root cause analysis, remediation tracking, and lessons learned.
• Maintain the operational risk event database and ensure timely escalation of material incidents to management and HQ per group policy.
• Support the calculation, monitoring, and periodic update of Operational Risk Capital requirements, including maintenance of methodology, scenarios, and supporting documentation.
• Drive control enhancement initiatives in partnership with process owners; verify design and operating effectiveness of key controls.

Risk & Control Frameworks

• Coordinate the annual RCSA cycle: process inventory, risk identification, control assessment, residual risk rating, and action plan tracking.

• Maintain risk and control documentation, taxonomies, and governance artifacts in the EEMNA risk system of record.
• Contribute to the development and continuous improvement of operational risk policies, procedures, and standards.

Technology & Process Risk

• Assess risks tied to trading platforms, market data, valuation engines, settlement systems, and end-user computing tools.
• Partner with IT and the business on system enhancements, UAT, change-management reviews, and post-implementation validation.
• Identify automation and process-improvement opportunities that strengthen controls and reduce manual risk exposure.

Global Coordination & Stakeholder Management

• Coordinate with ENGIE global teams and HQ functions in Europe to support governance alignment, NPA reviews, and group-wide framework rollouts.
• Prepare presentations, governance materials, and management reporting for the EEMNA Risk Committee and senior stakeholders.
• Translate technical risk topics into clear, decision-ready briefings for non-risk audiences.
