• A Governance and Controls Specialist: You have a solid understanding of enterprise risk and risk management control frameworks and how they support effective governance. You are experienced in drafting and developing policies, procedures, and risk mitigation plans, and can translate regulatory or internal requirements into practical processes that can be implemented and maintained across the organization.
• A Self-Starter with a Builder Mindset: You are highly analytical and capable of assessing complex information to identify potential and emerging operational, regulatory, and enterprise-level risks.  You are comfortable building processes and maintaining items such as risk registers, tracking mitigation actions, and ensuring that risk data is accurate, up to date, and clearly documented.

• Organized and Accountable: You are skilled at managing multiple priorities, tracking actions, and meeting deadlines. You take ownership of your work and ensure that commitments are followed through to completion.
• Committed to Continuous Improvement: You are interested in enhancing risk processes, training, tools, and frameworks. You look for opportunities to improve efficiency, strengthen controls, and contribute to a mature risk culture within the organization.
