Jobs in Bridgeport, CT

About the role

This role is responsible for delivery of independent, risk-based challenge and second-line risk management support, in alignment with the Operational Risk Management Framework, applicable policies, regulatory expectations, and industry standards. The role reports to an Operational Risk Senior Manager and supports providing independent and objective insights to guide and influence business risk management in the enhancement and implementation of their risk management practices. The role is responsible for assessing risks, threats, and opportunities, including those arising from evolving technologies, customer-facing digital channels, data-driven decisioning, and emerging business models.  The individual is expected to demonstrate strong knowledge of operational risk management principles, industry best practices, and the supported business areas, inclusive experience with technology-enabled process risk, third-party dependencies, data and model risk intersections, resilience and change management risk. This role requires effective collaboration across risk partners, constructive engagement with key stakeholders, effective interaction with Technology and Product Owners, and meets the expectations of senior management, risk governance, and audit and regulators. The position demands sound independent judgment, the ability to operate with a high degree of autonomy in the oversight and/or execution of their role, as well as working effectively within the department, and effective integration within the broader risk organization.  Given the dynamic and evolving nature of the risk landscape, flexibility is required to leverage risk concepts and tools into areas where risk management processes may be immature or not fully documented.
