  • Operational Risk Manager at Manulife delivering effective risk management and controls for operational risk in financial services. Leading RCSA and ORE lifecycle while partnering with technology and business teams to enhance risk insights.

Responsibilities

  • Drive the effectiveness of the Operational Risk Management (ORM) program by leading the end to end Risk & Control Self Assessments (RCSA) and supporting Operational Risk Events (OREs) lifecycle (capture, root cause, remediation, reporting).
  • Partner with business and technology teams to strengthen control environments, enhance risk insights, and ensure regulatory alignment.
  • Bring rigorous analysis, confident facilitation, and a passion for turning insights into durable risk reduction.
  • Facilitate scoping, risk identification, inherent risk scoring, control design/effectiveness assessment, and residual risk evaluation.
  • Facilitate workshops with process owners to validate risk taxonomy, operational control libraries, KRIs/metrics, and issue/corrective action plans.
  • Challenge assessments with evidence: walkthroughs, sample testing, and data‑driven validation.
  • ORE intake, triage, impact assessment, root cause analysis, and loss data capture.
  • Ensure timely remediation plans, control enhancements, and closure validation; track aging and escalate where needed.
  • Trend analysis on events, near‑misses, and external loss data to identify systemic risk themes and emerging risks.
  • Design and maintain KRIs/KCIs, dashboards, and risk appetite reporting.
  • Translate technical risk findings into decision‑ready narratives and recommendations.
  • Align to ORM policy/standards; support internal/external audit and regulatory inquiries.
  • Drive control automation opportunities, data quality improvements, and RCSA/ORE process optimization.

Requirements

  • 5+ years in operational risk, internal controls, audit, or compliance within financial services (banking, payments, insurance, asset management).
  • Hands‑on RCSA execution including demonstrated control testing/walkthrough experience; familiarity with control design vs. operating effectiveness.
  • Proven ability to facilitate workshops, challenge stakeholders, and write business friendly reports.
  • Knowledge of ORM frameworks/standards and familiarity with OSFI expectations on operational risk, incident management, and resilience is a strong plus.
