• Serve as an expert in the ERMF, enabling BCB to manage risks effectively and efficiently in collaboration with all 3LOD, ensuring frameworks and policies are clear, effective, and practical.
• Lead and manage timely reporting on the efficiency and performance of controls and compliance, maintaining high data quality, completeness, and accuracy of monitoring activities. Leverage insights on controls to identify issues and deliver remedial actions as appropriate. Support Group-wide risk activities, such as Scenario Analysis.
• Drive BCB's RCSA hierarchy, ensuring high risk and control data quality, with a focus on creating a more preventative and automated control environment.
• Provide training and support to BCB Risk and Control Owners on the application of the Framework and supporting tools.
