• Support technology/tooling initiatives (e.g., risk system migrations, dashboard automation, workflow tools) as business lead liaising with technology and enablement teams
• Support the consistent design, documentation, and oversight of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) across the department, including briefs, workflows, and RACI matrices
• Manage team meetings, including agenda setting and follow-up, and run team offsites with effective follow-up and follow-through
• Develop and maintain strong relationships with key internal stakeholders to ensure alignment and collaboration on Risk initiatives
• Chair working groups or committees, as applicable and as directed by Co-CROs

• Experience supporting a global, multi-location team across time zones preferred
• Prior exposure to risk governance frameworks (risk committees, committee charter documents, escalation protocols, regulatory reporting cycles) is a strong plus
• Highly visible and organized, with an ability to work autonomously, as well as bringing a collective mind-set as required ; able to manage multiple concurrent workstreams and competing deadlines while maintaining attention to detail
• Intellectually curious - proactively asks "why do we do it this way" and brings structured suggestions for improvement / change management, not just execution
• Strong ability to develop working relationships with stakeholders, build consensus, and deliver results with success
