The role balances disciplined execution with professional judgement and offers exposure across the organization.

• Coordinate platform-driven aggregation cycles (risk assessments, control attestations, and issue updates) across risk domains by setting cadence, tracking completion, and driving follow-up so roll-up inputs are refreshed on time.

• Support regulatory compliance program activities within ServiceNow, including mapping of regulatory requirements (e.g., NYDFS Part 500, NIST CSF 2.0, etc.) to control objectives and compliance profiles.

Platform Enablement

• Support implementation and enhancement initiatives by helping identify process gaps and improvement opportunities, participating in UAT testing, validating data migration, and contributing to process documentation to enable effective adoption.

• Support ERM working groups and recurring governance forums by tracking decisions, configuration impacts, and action-item follow-ups, ensuring changes in one domain are communicated and reflected appropriately across others.

• Serve as a point of contact for business unit risk coordinators, providing guidance on platform usage, assessment completion, and issue management workflows.

• Contribute to the development and maintenance of training materials and user guides for TPRM, IRM, and BCM stakeholders.

• Clear and effective communicator who conveys risk concepts to both technical and non‑technical audiences.

• Continuous learner who proactively stays current on ServiceNow platform capabilities and emerging industry risk practices, and who is interested in growing into broader risk advisory, ERM, or platform enablement responsibilities over time.

You have

• Bachelor's degree in Risk Management, Business Administration, Finance, Information Systems, or a related field.

• 3–5 years of experience in operational risk, compliance, or GRC roles within financial services or insurance.

• Experience working with ServiceNow IRM (or an equivalent GRC platform) to support risk registers, control libraries, issue management, and reporting; strong candidates may also demonstrate the ability to learn new platforms quickly.

• Strong understanding of risk assessment frameworks (e.g., RCSA, KRI monitoring, risk scoring methodologies).

• Familiarity with regulatory requirements applicable to insurance or financial services (e.g., NYDFS, NAIC, MAR, HIPAA).

• Excellent analytical, organizational, and communication skills with the ability to translate technical data into business-relevant insights.

• Familiarity with risk management concepts across operational and non-financial risk domains; exposure to model, data, or AI governance is a plus.
