* Lead and support the investigation of operational incidents, conducting root cause analysis and driving remediation.
* Collaborate with global colleagues to promote a strong risk culture and continuous improvement mindset.
* Facilitate control testing, process reviews, and scenario analysis to assess control effectiveness.
* Engage regularly with senior stakeholders across business, risk, and compliance functions to influence decisions and escalate emerging issues.
What We're Looking For
* 12+ years of experience in operational or non-financial risk management within investment banking or trading environments, particularly equity derivatives & equity financing.
* Proven understanding of trading operations, control frameworks, and regulatory expectations.
* Prior experience in roles related to trading, compliance, or surveillance is highly valued.
* Strong analytical thinking with the ability to balance commercial considerations and risk management.
* Effective communication and stakeholder management skills, with a demonstrated ability to influence and challenge senior stakeholders.
* Resilience, adaptability, and a proactive approach to problem-solving and continuous improvement.
* Join a high-performing team that values collaboration, curiosity, and innovation.
