The Lead Divisional Risk Advisor plays a critical role in partnering with business and sales leaders across Canada and Latin America to bring risk insights into everyday decision-making. This role blends hands-on execution with strategic advisory, helping teams identify, assess, and address risks in a way that supports commercial outcomes and operational resilience. You will translate complex risk concepts into clear, actionable insights that resonate with diverse stakeholders, including senior leaders and executives. Operating in a less prescriptive regulatory environment, you’ll rely on sound judgment, strong relationships, and a pragmatic approach to drive meaningful impact. Success in this role requires curiosity, confidence to challenge constructively, and a willingness to “roll up your sleeves” to get work done end-to-end.

This Hybrid Role (in office Tues-Wed-Thurs) can be based in Toronto, Canada, Malvern, PA (USA), or Mexico City, MX.

Responsibilities: 

• Partner with sales and business teams across Canada and LATAM to identify, assess, and communicate risks in clear, practical business terms. 

• Provide risk advisory, oversight, and assurance aligned with enterprise risk frameworks while adapting to local business needs. 

• Translate complex or abstract risk issues into compelling, audience-appropriate narratives that inform decisions and drive action. 

• Build and evolve risk approaches, tools, and frameworks that enable effective risk management in a less prescriptive environment. 

• Deliver thoughtful, business-aligned risk insights that go beyond checklist-based execution. 

• Evaluate the design and effectiveness of controls and recommend pragmatic, commercially viable improvements. 

• Support the development and execution of short- and long-term risk strategies that enhance business resilience. 

• Challenge assumptions, methodologies, and decisions constructively when they do not fully address underlying risks or business realities. 

• Advise on new and evolving products, services, and processes to ensure risks are identified early and managed effectively. 

• Monitor emerging risks and trends across regions and help define meaningful measures of risk effectiveness. 

• Build trusted relationships across geographies and functions, serving as a credible, solutions-oriented risk advisor. 

• Contribute to enterprise risk initiatives and special projects as needed. 

Education & Experience: 

Bachelor’s degree or equivalent combination of training and experience. 

8–10+ years of relevant professional experience in risk management, operational risk, compliance, audit, or a related discipline. 

Practical, hands-on experience applying risk management principles in business or commercial environments (not solely regulatory or theoretical). 

Demonstrated ability to influence and engage stakeholders at all levels, including senior leaders and executives. 

Strong communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to translate risk into clear business impact. 

Proven ability to challenge assumptions, ask thoughtful questions, and drive deeper understanding of risk issues. 

Ability to operate effectively in ambiguous, fast-paced, or lean environments with a proactive, self-starter mindset. 

Special Factors: 

• Experience working with risk systems (e.g., Archer or similar platforms) preferred. 

• Consulting or advisory background (e.g., Big 4) and/or experience in less regulated environments is a plus.

• Spanish and/or Portuguese language skills are a plus. 

• Experience supporting or partnering with sales or client-facing teams; multi-regional experience (Canada and/or LATAM).
