About the Role

The Company is seeking a Chief Risk Officer to join their team. The successful candidate will be a senior executive responsible for establishing and leading the risk management framework in alignment with the company's strategic plan. This includes chairing the risk management committee, setting the risk appetite, and ensuring a strong risk culture is embedded throughout the organization. The Chief Risk Officer will also be tasked with providing a credible challenge to all risk-related activities, supporting the first line of defense in risk management, and leading the second line of defense across various risk categories. Additionally, the role involves developing and executing a robust Bank Secrecy Act and Anti-Money Laundering program, as well as collaborating with business, technology, security, vendor, and audit professionals to manage and mitigate risks. Candidates for the Chief Risk Officer position at the company should have a Bachelor's degree in business, finance, or accounting, with an advanced degree and related certifications being a plus. A minimum of 20 years' experience in risk management, finance, banking, regulatory governance, or a compliance-related field is required, with a proven track record in executive leadership. The ideal candidate will have in-depth knowledge of risk program design and execution, extensive experience in banking and regulatory relations, and technical expertise in BSA/AML program requirements. Strong interpersonal, communication, and presentation skills are essential, as is the ability to manage multiple priorities, lead a team, and work across the organization to achieve results. The role demands a strategic thinker with strong analytical and problem-solving skills, and a demonstrated aptitude for learning new technologies.
