Key Responsibilities

Operational Risk & Control Self-Assessment (RCSA)

Design and run a recurring, first-line risk and control self-assessment across all seven operating teams, producing a current-state view of where daily execution is fragile

Maintain a living map of operational risks, the controls intended to mitigate them, and the residual risk that remains after those controls

Bring an industry-aware lens to what strong operational controls look like across asset classes and lifecycle stages

Control Effectiveness & Gap Remediation

Test whether controls are operating as designed

Identify process and control gaps, prioritize them at the function level based on risk, and own them through to closure

Trace the upstream root causes of downstream breaks and not-in-good-order conditions, championing systemic, durable fixes over one-off corrections

Document assessment evidence

Metrics, KPIs & Operational-Health Reporting

Own the operational KPI framework and the run-state operational-health reporting that feeds functional governance forums

Translate operational data into a clear, decision-ready view of functional health for senior leadership

Align metrics and definitions consistently across teams and systems of record

Transformation & Product Partnership

Serve as the demand-side partner to Strategy & Execution’s Transformation team, converting diagnosed gaps into a prioritized remediation backlog

Coordinate with Product Owners to ensure product backlogs reflect operations requirements and priorities

Ensure delivered solutions close the underlying operational risk rather than addressing symptoms

Identify and advance automation and process-improvement opportunities, including practical application of AI tooling

Governance, Escalation & Second-Line Coordination

Run the operational-health governance routine (chaired and sponsored by the Head of OS&D), presenting current-state assessment, open gaps, and remediation status with items assigned to process owners and dates

Proactively raise operational risks, process concerns, and stakeholder impacts in a constructive, solutions-oriented manner

Coordinate with second-line Risk and Internal Audit to align scope and avoid duplication of assurance activity

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Partner Performance

Serve as a trusted operational partner and subject-matter expert across investment, accounting, technology, data, and treasury teams

Assess the operational performance of external service providers through a risk-and-control lens

Communicate process changes, improvement initiatives, and strategic priorities clearly to senior stakeholders

Qualifications

Education

Bachelor’s degree in finance, Business, Accounting, or a related field

Advanced degree (e.g., MBA) a plus

Relevant risk/controls or process-improvement certifications (e.g., Lean Six Sigma) preferred but not required

10+ years of experience in investment operations, financial operations, or operational risk and controls, ideally within an asset manager, insurer, alternative investment firm, or comparable institutional investment platform

Demonstrated experience in operational risk assessment, control design and effectiveness testing, or RCSA-type programs

Strong understanding of the investment operations lifecycle across multiple asset classes — including loans, derivatives, alternatives, and cash/treasury

Experience defining and operating metrics and KPIs and translating operational data into governance-ready reporting

Familiarity with loan administration and accounting systems, IBOR and ABOR environments, and how data flows across a multi-system operations infrastructure

Highly effective collaborator with proven experience influencing peer teams without direct authority in a matrixed organization; able to raise risks and represent stakeholder perspectives in a constructive, solutions-oriented manner
