How you can make a difference

Shape the future of risk management in a dynamic, remote-first company. As Associate Vice President (AVP), Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), you’ll lead a high-impact program that spans finance, people, technology, InfoSec, product, and strategy. This is an opportunity to drive meaningful change, challenge assumptions, and embed robust risk practices across the organization. You’ll be at the forefront of building and evolving our ERM program—designing frameworks, influencing decisions, and ensuring our risk posture aligns with strategic goals. You’ll work directly with senior and executive leadership, risk owners, and external consultants to deliver a program that’s not just compliant, but forward-thinking and resilient. This is a rare opportunity to lead a visible, enterprise-wide function in a company that values agility, innovation, and continuous improvement. You’ll have the autonomy to shape the ERM program and the support to make a lasting impact.

Lead and evolve the ERM program with a focus on continuous improvement.
Partner across business units to support and challenge risk owners, and occasionally lead crisis management efforts.
Present risks and mitigation strategies to senior leadership, influencing priorities and resource allocation.
Own and enhance key ERM components: risk registers, appetite frameworks, key risk indicators, stress tests, and dashboards.
Stay ahead of the curve on external threats, macroeconomic trends, and regulatory shifts.
Drive alignment between ERM and strategic planning, budgeting, project prioritization, and regulatory reporting.
Collaborate deeply with Compliance, Privacy, Internal Audit, and other assurance teams to strengthen risk mitigation.
Champion risk awareness and continuous improvement across the organization.

What you will need to be successful (Skills, Knowledge, & Experience)

Advanced degree preferred (MBA, PhD, quantitative master’s); JD considered if risk-focused.
12+ years in financial/operational risk management, ideally within regulated financial services or consulting.
5–7 years in a leadership role with board-level exposure.
Proven success in enterprise risk management, especially in financial services (banking, investment, insurance, fintech).
Experience with regulators (e.g., Fed, OCC, FDIC) or large institutions is a plus.
Deep knowledge of risk frameworks, tools, and regulatory requirements.
Ability to influence and challenge constructively at the highest levels.
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills—able to speak truth to power with diplomacy.
Professional certifications (e.g., FRM, CFA) are advantageous.
