Job Description

The CRO Office & Executive Reporting role sits at the nerve center of the Bank’s Risk Management organization, partnering directly with the Risk CAO, Risk Leadership, and senior stakeholders to shape how Risk strategy, performance, and governance are articulated to the Board, regulators, and executive management. This position is designed for a seasoned risk or strategy leader who thrives in complex, highly visible environments—someone who can translate enterprise risk themes into crisp executive narratives, influence at the most senior levels, and elevate how the Bank tells its risk story through decision‑oriented, forward‑looking reporting.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

• Shape and maintain a forward-looking multi-year roadmap for the Risk Chief Administrative Office, clarifying priorities and themes across governance, execution, culture, and data/technology enablement.
• Partner with Risk leadership to evolve the CAO operating model, including governance forums, decision rights, engagement rhythms, and effective collaboration across first- and second-line teams.
• Serve as a strategic risk content partner for enterprise planning processes, translating Risk priorities into clear narratives for strategic plans and functional reviews.
• Coordinate Board-level Risk Management Committee materials end to end—supporting agenda development, facilitating reviews and feedback, and ensuring timely, high-quality delivery.
• Manage the cadence and quality of Executive Risk Committee meetings, including agenda development, materials coordination, and follow-up.
• Provide committee support services such as attendance tracking, meeting records, and documentation to ensure strong governance hygiene.
• Support external-facing risk advocacy activities, including coordination with key committees, industry groups, and regulatory comment processes.
• Continuously improve how CRO management information is produced and presented by identifying opportunities to simplify, streamline, and modernize reporting and governance materials.
• Ensure Risk governance artifacts are clear, decision-focused, and consistent across leadership and Board forums.
• Help define and refine a focused set of key risk and execution measures, enhancing transparency into performance and outcomes.
• Support development of risk visuals and analytics—such as dashboards, heat maps, and trend views—and coordinate inputs across stakeholders.
• Oversee Risk leadership communications, including executive presentations, leadership updates, and materials for key forums and offsites.
• Prepare materials for standing CRO engagements and manage ad hoc information requests in a disciplined, prioritized manner.
