• Lead end-to-end development of curated operational risk insights and thematic analytics—covering domains such as technology/cyber, third-party risk, fraud, conduct, business continuity, and process/control risk.
• Design and operationalize predictive anomaly detection systems to surface early signals of operational risk events (e.g., incident patterns, control failures, data quality issues, capacity constraints) before they escalate.
• Establish robust data governance, model lifecycle controls, and monitoring frameworks to ensure accuracy, explainability, and auditability of all analytics and AI solutions.
• Drive adoption of self-serve analytics by building scalable data products, standardized semantic layers, and enablement programs that empower risk and business teams.

• Implement repeatable pipelines and quality controls for operational risk reporting (KRIs/KCIs, RCSA outcomes, loss event data, scenario analysis), ensuring consistency, completeness, traceability, and timely delivery.
• Lead thematic reviews using advanced analytics to pinpoint root causes, control gaps, and prioritized remediations for high-impact operational risk themes.
• Set standards and best practices for responsible AI use in operational risk (guardrails, validation, explainability, performance monitoring, documentation) in partnership with governance bodies.
• Champion data quality improvements and source-system enhancements for critical operational risk data elements (CDEs), strengthening leading indicators and surveillance coverage.
• Orchestrate cross-functional incident reviews using analytics to accelerate root cause analysis, inform corrective actions, and prevent recurrence.
• Represent the function in audits, regulatory exams, and senior forums—articulating methodologies, controls, and evidentiary support with confidence and clarity.
• Align with BNY’s strategic pillars and principles—be client-obsessed through usable analytics, run the company better via automation and controls, spark progress with AI, and thrive together through strong partnerships.

• Familiarity with responsible AI practices (explainability, fairness, monitoring), data governance and audit-ready documentation
• Proven experience leading cross-functional teams (data science, engineering, BI, compliance SMEs) and managing complex, multi-region deliverables.
