You’re RGA ready

RGA is a purpose-driven organization working to solve today’s challenges through innovation and collaboration. A Fortune 200 Company and listed among its World’s Most Admired Companies, we’re the only global reinsurance company to focus primarily on life- and health-related solutions. Join our multinational team of intelligent, motivated, and collaborative people, and help us make financial protection accessible to all.

The Executive Director, Enterprise Regional Enablement, serves as the single accountable leader for operational risk enablement within assigned regions. The role holder translates enterprise frameworks, methodologies, and Centers of Excellence (CoE) assets for regional use, adapting to local regulatory regimes, business lines, and operating maturity. This includes building regional risk practitioner capability, ensuring enterprise standards are implemented consistently, and serving as the primary enablement interface between enterprise and regional stakeholders.

What you will do

• Serve as the named operational risk enablement partner for regional business unit heads — maintaining a regular engagement cadence with each major regional business unit to understand needs, track progress, and resolve barriers — and build and maintain productive relationships with regional business leaders, local compliance teams, Internal Audit, and other key stakeholders across the first, second, and third lines of defense.
• Translate the enterprise framework, methodologies, Key Risk Indicator (KRI) standards, taxonomies, and reporting templates for regional use — incorporating local regulatory overlays, language, currency, and business-line specifics without altering the underlying enterprise standard — and coordinate with specialty CoEs so regional businesses can access their services, contextualizing specialty playbooks for the regional operating environment as needed.
• Deploy the regional team (analysts, leads) as embedded advisors to regional business units executing Risk and Control Assessments (RCAs), KRI design, incident write-ups, scenario analysis, and remediation planning. Coach first-line practitioners to execute risk activities independently.
• Lead the regional control program — implement enterprise control standards and control-assessment methodologies consistently across the assigned regions, accounting for local regulatory overlays without altering the underlying enterprise standard. Oversee first-line business unit regional control monitoring, control testing, and control-effectiveness evaluation; track control gaps and remediation in-region; and partner with regional Internal Audit (3rd line) and local compliance teams on integrated control assurance, supporting alignment of regional RCA outputs and control-testing results with the enterprise control framework, assurance program, and reporting.
• Coordinate with regional risk leaders on training calendars, risk practitioner communities of practice, and regional roundtables. Champion operational risk culture change in the region and support enterprise change management initiatives at the regional level. Feed regional learning needs back to the ED, Enterprise Ops Risk Enablement Strategy, Framework & Reporting.
• Monitor regional regulatory developments and serve as the first point of contact when regional businesses identify significant incidents or emerging risks — briefing the VP, Head of Enterprise Operational Risk Enablement and relevant CoEs on emerging requirements, building relationships with regional regulatory-facing teams so Enablement is engaged early, and triaging and routing issues to the appropriate CoE or Oversight function so enterprise visibility is established promptly.
• Ensure regional risk data flows into enterprise reporting processes. Quality-control regional submissions before integration into enterprise datasets. Contribute regional risk insights, themes, and data to support briefing papers for the Board Risk Committee, Risk Management Steering Committee, and Operational Risk Committee.
• Support regional execution of risk exposure quantification methodologies, as appropriate, including scenario analysis and loss modeling, in coordination with the enterprise Risk Quantification CoE.
• Represent regional user needs in GRC platform decisions. Partner with the ED, Enterprise Ops Risk Enablement Strategy, Framework & Reporting to drive adoption and effective use of enterprise tooling in the region.
• Build and develop a high-performing regional team. Manage analysts and leads in-region, including talent development, succession planning, and performance management.

• 10+ Years of progressive experience in operational risk management, enterprise risk, internal audit, internal controls, or a related second-line risk function within financial services or insurance, including demonstrated experience designing or maintaining a risk management framework

• Deep working knowledge of operational risk management frameworks, methodologies (RCA, KRI, scenario analysis, loss event capture), and related regulatory expectations (NAIC ORSA, Solvency II, COSO, ISO 31000)
• Proficient with GRC platforms (e.g., Archer, ServiceNow IRM, MetricStream), reporting and visualization tools (e.g., Power BI), and emerging AI tools applied to risk reporting and analytics
• Demonstrated ability to lead, influence, and build trust across diverse cultural, regulatory, and linguistic contexts, including experience managing geographically dispersed virtual teams
• Ability to translate enterprise-level strategy into regional execution plans that account for local constraints and opportunities
