• Partner with Risk and Control teams to remediate structural process weaknesses, eliminate reliance on manual compensating controls, and reduce repeat issues
• Establish governance, ownership, and execution frameworks to support sustainable, well‑controlled operating models
• Prepare executive‑level materials, including current‑ vs. future‑state process assessments, operational risk themes, control considerations, and key dependencies
