• Analyze recurring exceptions, losses, near misses, complaints, defects, and manual workarounds to identify trends and sustainable process improvements.
• Prepare management reporting and metrics on control performance, exceptions, aging, remediation status, data quality, and operational readiness.
• Support operational readiness, conversions, post-conversion stabilization, and change initiatives through risk assessments, readiness checklists, testing, issue tracking, and knowledge transfer.
• Collaborate with Internal Audit, Risk, Compliance, Finance, Technology, and third-party providers to respond to inquiries, provide supporting evidence, and support remediation.
• Facilitate training and enablement sessions on procedures, control expectations, new workflows, and escalation requirements; reinforce appropriate verification and documented evidence.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree in business, finance, accounting, information systems, risk management, a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and directly relevant experience.
• 3+ years of progressive experience in banking operations, deposit operations, payment operations, operational risk, quality assurance, controls, audit, data governance, or a related function.
• 3+ years of working knowledge of banking operations, internal controls, reconciliations, issue management, and procedure governance.
• Experience documenting processes, investigating operational issues, analyzing data, and communicating findings and recommendations to business and technical partners.
• Experience supporting core banking conversions and post-conversion stabilization, FIS or comparable banking platforms, CIF data-integrity controls, or levy operations.
• Experience with workflow mapping, control testing, management reporting, data visualization, or structured root-cause analysis methodologies.
• Working knowledge of regulatory requirements and records-retention standards governing deposit and payment operations.
• Strong analytical judgment and attention to detail, with the ability to distinguish symptoms from underlying root causes.
• Clear, professional business writing skills and the ability to develop concise, audit-ready procedures and supporting documentation.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities, drive follow-through, elevate material risks appropriately, and constructively challenge ineffective controls.
• Ability to communicate complex processes to diverse audiences and translate institutional knowledge into repeatable training and documentation.
• Commitment to customer protection, data integrity, operational resilience, and continuous improvement.
