IMPACT YOU’LL MAKE

As an Enterprise Risk Analyst supporting Operational Risk Management, you’ll play a key role in strengthening BECU’s risk management practices and operational resilience.

Your work will support a recently relaunched Risk & Control Self-Assessment (RCSA) program, the implementation of a new control validation framework, and ongoing business continuity efforts. In this highly visible role, you’ll help drive meaningful improvements across multiple enterprise risk programs while building strong partnerships across the organization.

Remote or onsite, we are committed to ensuring you are fully engaged and included in our collaborative environment.

• Business Continuity Support: Assist with business continuity planning, testing, and program administration activities in partnership with disaster recovery and business resiliency teams to help ensure organizational preparedness.
• Risk Reporting & Analytics: Generate ad hoc and recurring reports, perform analysis that enhances risk transparency, support leadership reporting needs, and help improve visibility into key enterprise risks and trends.
• Operational Risk Program Support: Assist with loss event data collection activities and support additional operational risk management initiatives as the program continues to mature and evolve.
• Stakeholder Partnership & Risk Awareness: Build strong relationships across the organization to promote risk awareness, support business partners, encourage continuous improvement, and drive consistency in risk management practices.
• Risk Technology Administration: Support the administration of risk management tools and applications, including helping business partners navigate Archer-based processes related to RCSAs, findings management, and other operational risk activities.
• Special Projects & Program Enhancements: Contribute to enterprise risk initiatives, program enhancements, merger-related activities, and other projects that strengthen BECU’s overall risk management framework.

WHAT YOU’LL GAIN
