This individual will serve as 1) a key liaison across local and global business functions on risk matters and 2) a key person responsible for the execution of the counterparty and operational risk frameworks (including fund guideline oversight), in accordance with best practice guidance and regulatory requirements.
This role will be responsible for ensuring adequate analysis, research and approval of execution counterparties for EMEA. The role will also include the identification / management of operational risks and issues, as well as the development of solutions and re-engineering of processes to avoid future control / process weaknesses. This hands-on position requires the ability to challenge and coordinate front-to-back business management, as well as collaboration with risk and support and control colleagues across the global firm.

Contribute to counterparty risk technology enhancements (comfort around large data sets and familiarity with Tableau a plus)
Operational Risk:
Ongoing management, maintenance and embedding of the operational risk framework, covering all new and existing product strategies and related governance processes.
Identify and investigate operational risk events, ensuring root cause analysis and control assessments are undertaken. This will involve undertaking ‘deep dive’ reviews on significant and complex events to provide ongoing recommendations to enhance the control environment.
Identify process/control weaknesses and raise issues and associated actions, where required. This will involve notifying responsible owners and providing sufficient oversight to ensure the issue is managed to completion.
