Enterprise Risk Management Specialist
The role of Enterprise Risk Management Specialist is a critical position that requires a deep understanding of risk management principles and practices. The successful candidate will develop, implement, and maintain a comprehensive enterprise risk management framework that covers credit, market, liquidity, operational, and technology risks across the organization.
This includes conducting prudential and capital risk assessments, including stress testing, scenario analysis, capital adequacy evaluations, and other regulatory-mandated reviews. Additionally, the specialist will prepare, validate, and support all regulatory disclosures required of financial institutions and virtual asset service providers (VASPs), ensuring accuracy and timely submission.
A key aspect of this role is margin account risk oversight, which involves establishing risk policies for margin lending and virtual asset collateral, defining and periodically reviewing maximum LTV ratios and haircut methodologies, monitoring collateral valuation, capital add-ons, and counterparty exposures, and ensuring adherence to client and institutional exposure limits, capital buffers, and net-worth thresholds.
The specialist will continuously monitor key risk indicators (KRIs) across business functions, escalating breaches or deviations to senior management and the Board with clear remediation plans. As an independent second-line function, they will maintain objectivity from commercial and trading activities while collaborating closely with Compliance, Finance, Operations, and Technology.
This role also involves engaging with internal/external auditors, regulatory bodies, and governance committees on matters related to risk management, capital adequacy, and prudential standards. Furthermore, the specialist will promote a strong risk-aware culture by supporting ongoing training, communication, and enhancements to risk methodologies, models, and documentation.
To excel in this role, the ideal candidate will possess strong analytical and problem-solving skills, as well as excellent communication and interpersonal skills. They will have a solid understanding of risk management principles, regulations, and industry standards, and be able to navigate complex systems and processes effectively.
