Job Description

Operational Risk Management (ORM) is an enterprise-level independent risk management function responsible for enterprise-wide oversight and aggregation of operational risk. Its mandate covers all business lines (US Personal Banking, Global Wealth Management, Markets, Services, Banking, Global Functions & EO&T) spanning all geographies. The ORM function oversees the design and implementation of the non-financial risk management framework. Key objectives of the data risk management framework include:
+ Operating model, staffing, and culture
+ Operational risk appetite
+ Control objectives and standards
+ Operational risk and control assessments and reporting
+ Strategic decision-making
+ The effective execution of Citi's Enterprise Data transformation
Because Citi's Enterprise Data transformation cuts across the enterprise and is multi-disciplinary in nature, ORM's oversight for data risk management at Citi relies upon a "Hub and Spoke" approach, incorporating the second line of defense (2LOD) Business/Region/LV Global Op Risk Officers and other relevant independent risk functions. These teams work collectively to dispense appropriate risk oversight responsibilities, ensuring well-coordinated risk assessments, risk identification, measurement/monitoring, and timely remediation of key gaps. Furthermore, the ORM Data Risk team delivers an enterprise-level aggregation of risk oversight outcomes to assess the firm's progress toward the Data Transformation target state.
**The Head of Data Risk Appetite Oversight and Analysis** role will oversee a group of data risk officers accountable for reviewing and challenging firm-wide efforts to manage data risk appetite expectations and the variety of monitoring efforts for the day-to-day delivery of data risk reduction activities. In addition, this role will be charged with ingesting and synthesizing firm-wide 2LOD challenge activity on data risk into the Data Risk Appetite Assessment process and generating requirements for additional assessment activity.
**Key Responsibilities:**
+ Lead primary oversight of the firm's Data Risk Appetite, including assessment of factors of risk, assessing and monitoring path-to-green efforts, management of metrics that measure risk, and all associated analysis.
+ Work with 1LOD to define clear path-to-green and drive execution of agreed plans.
+ Be accountable for identifying and executing independent second-line risk assessments in coordination with other ORM teams where needed (e.g., leading challenges of specific risk appetite metrics) to meet internal commitments, leveraging the hub-and-spoke model.
+ Champion internal knowledge sharing for Data Risk Appetite efforts. Ensure that this multidisciplinary and cross-cutting risk area is well understood and that the implications of firm-wide remediation efforts are understood in terms of path-to-green efforts.
+ Negotiate and remediate resulting risk and control concerns identified.
+ Escalate significant or unaddressed risk issues and control environment concerns to appropriate governance forums and Risk leadership.
+ As needed, serve as the primary interface to key stakeholders such as regulators, senior management, and the Board, as it relates to 2LOD assessment/point of view for the Risk Category.
**Management and Leadership Characteristics:**
+ Broad experience in risk management, including a successful track record of managing large, complex, enterprise-wide risk management programs at a large financial services organization.
+ Focused experience in assessing risk appetite for non-financial risks aligned with regulatory expectations. Proficient in risk assessment principles and supervisory expectations in terms of the quantity and quality of operational risk management.
+ Subject matter expertise in Non-Financial Risk Management with a proven track record in risk and control related to technology, data, and/or reporting risk.
+ Track record of managing internal relationships and partnering with a range of stakeholders (e.g., business, functions) in leading sustained change and change management efforts.
+ Strong technical problem-solving skills and an ability to identify conflicts, discrepancies, and other issues, and bring together the right team to solve them.
+ Well-developed listening skills and a strong ability to communicate and engage at the senior management level, both orally and in writing.
+ Ability to constructively challenge others at all levels and across boundaries to deliver better results.
+ Continuous improvement mind-set to solve for root causes, assess the impact of actions, and adjust as needed; simplify and standardize at every opportunity.
+ Regulatory engagement experience.
**Qualifications:**
+ 10+ years of direct experience as a senior Non-Financial Risk professional (data, technology, or reporting risk) or relevant 1LOD function in a large financial services organization.
+ 8-10+ years' managerial experience
+ Extensive experience with risk metrics, including providing oversight of design, delivery, and sustainability.
+ Well-versed in executing risk management monitoring routines, tracking identification to resolution.
+ Extensive experience applying operational risk management frameworks in a global organization.
+ Strong track record in leading teams to deliver technical risk and control assessments and negotiate outcomes at scale.
+ Demonstrable understanding of Data fundamentals, including Data architecture, Data principles, and a deep appreciation of intersectionality and interdependency with enterprise Technology and systems architecture.
+ Deep knowledge of financial and risk data, along with an understanding of regulatory, compliance, risk management, and financial management concerns.
+ Subject matter expertise in operational risk management as applied to Data risk.
**Education** :
+ Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Information Technology, Business, or a related field.
+ Master's degree preferred
