Integrated with enterprise risk management – Internal controls and policies should align with the organization's broader Enterprise Risk Management framework to ensure consistent identification, documentation, and mitigation of key risks.
Operational partnership – Controls and policies should be developed in partnership with operational leaders to ensure they are practical, understood, and consistently applied across the organization.
Design and implement a structured internal control framework supporting key financial and operational processes across the organization.
Develop and maintain the organization’s Risk and Control Matrix (RCM), including risks, controls, and ownership.

Define system requirements, workflows, and reporting to support internal controls, policy management, and enterprise risk processes.
Drive adoption of technology-enabled solutions to improve risk visibility, documentation, and reporting.
Leverage data analytics and AI-enabled tools to identify trends, anomalies, and control gaps, enhancing risk identification and monitoring capabilities.
Oversee business licenses and permits processes, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and timely completion across approximately 21,000 annual filings.
Identify and implement automation opportunities to improve efficiency, scalability, and process consistency.
Support the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) program, including maintaining the risk register and aligning it with the Risk and Control Matrix.
Develop reporting and insights to support executive leadership decision-making and risk visibility.
Provide guidance to business leaders on internal controls, policy development, and risk management practices.
Ensures compliance with all policies and standards, as well as state, federal and other regulatory bodies.
