- Facilitate the Risk and Control Self-Assessment (RCSA) process across the US business lines to identify, assess, and mitigate key operational risks
- Act as the US risk liaison in the new product approval process, identifying new products risks and ensuring products are tailored appropriately for the US market
- Actively support various license application processes by drafting necessary submission materials, responding to regulatory inquiries, and demonstrating robust risk controls
- Define, track, and report on Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) to provide early warning of changing risk profiles or control weaknesses
- Act as the bridge between the US entity and the global Risk function, ensuring local regulatory requirements are met while leveraging global infrastructure and resources efficiently
