The role provides independent oversight and effective challenge of first-line risk management. It works closely with the lines of business, technology, and operations to keep operational, data, payment, and process execution risks within the Board-approved risk appetite, consistent with OCC Heightened Standards (12 CFR Part 30, Appendix D) and interagency guidance. Happen Bank has a foundation in place for operational risk; this role will be responsible for its next stage of growth and maturity. The role’s first priorities will be building and operationalizing programs for process and execution risk, payment risk and data risk – and then extending oversight across Deposits, Personal Loans and other products (over time). The role’s end goal is to deepen the existing capabilities and provide the Bank a stronger, independent view of operational risk and to work with business leaders to better understand and manage their operational risks.## ## What You'll Do* Lead and expand the second line operational risk program, building on the existing framework and policies with a multi-year roadmap* Mature the operational risk taxonomy, risk appetite statements, limits and thresholds and key risk indicators (KRIs) and report the risk profile, top risks, and breaches to the Compliance and Operational Risk Committee and Board* Develop process and execution risk frameworks, including strengthened minimum standards for process documentation, control design, and control testing, and lead independent thematic reviews that surface systemic weaknesses no single business line would see* Expand second line data risk oversight across data governance, quality, lineage, records management, and end-user computing, and challenge first line data practices against policy and expectations (e.g., BCBS 239)* Build out and operationalize a second line payments risk oversight function across all payment channels (e.g., ACH, wires, FedNow, remote deposit), including a payments risk standard, KRIs, and review of new rails and material changes* Extend independent oversight to Deposits, Personal Loans, and additional products over time, starting where risk is highest, by challenging new products, process changes, issue remediation, and control design and performance* Strengthen operational loss event capture, root cause analysis, and scenario analysis, and use RCSA results from the owning function as inputs, applying GRC tooling and AI where they improve monitoring, analysis, and reporting* Partner with the owners of third-party risk, resiliency, fraud, and tech and cyber risk to align taxonomy, share loss and issue data, and deliver integrated reporting with no gaps or overlap, while serving as the primary second line contact for operational risk## ## **About You*** 10+ years of experience in operational risk, enterprise risk, or independent risk oversight at a regulated financial institution, and a bachelor's degree or higher, or equivalent combination of education and work experience* You have led and scaled a second line risk function, including hiring, setting direction, and holding the team accountable for outcomes* You know operational risk frameworks well, including risk appetite, KRIs, loss events, and scenario analysis, and you can translate Basel and US regulatory expectations into practical standards* You have second line experience in data risk or data governance, and working knowledge of payment systems and their risks* You have experience in deposits, payments, or consumer lending operations or oversight* You challenge the first line with evidence and credibility while keeping the relationship constructive.
