We are seeking a senior Financial Risk Specialist to act as the lead risk counterpart to one or more executive stakeholders, own enterprise-level risk assessments, and drive strategic risk initiatives across the company.
Job Description
As a senior Financial Risk Specialist, you will independently lead enterprise risk assessments, capital-and-liquidity adequacy reviews, and strategic risk projects for a function, region, or product line. You will partner directly with VPs and department heads, present risk results to the executive risk committee, and set the standards that Level I and Level II staff follow.
Responsibilities
- Lead the enterprise risk-assessment cycle and the annual capital-and-liquidity adequacy review for an assigned function, region, or product line, including risk-appetite calibration and limit-setting recommendations.
- Serve as the primary risk partner to one or more VPs / department heads, framing strategic options and recommending decisions backed by quantitative risk analysis.
- Lead cross-functional strategic risk initiatives such as new-product risk reviews, model validation, regulatory exam preparation, M&A risk diligence, and operational-resilience programs.
- Design and own the risk narrative for board / executive risk reporting for the assigned area, including the monthly risk review.
- Set risk-analytics standards, templates, and best practices used by Level I and Level II Financial Risk Specialists; review their work and coach on advanced modeling and stakeholder management.
- Identify and quantify emerging risks to the company; propose mitigations and lead the execution of agreed actions with business owners.
- Partner with Finance, Compliance, Internal Audit, Data, and Engineering to ensure risk systems, data, and processes scale with the business.
- Mentor and develop junior risk staff; participate in hiring and onboarding for the risk team.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Statistics, Mathematics, Accounting, or a related field.
- 5+ years of progressive experience in financial risk management, quantitative analytics, audit / advisory, or risk consulting, with at least 2 years partnering with senior business leaders.
- Advanced quantitative risk-modeling skills, including credit-portfolio models, VaR / expected-shortfall, stress testing, and operational-risk loss modeling.
- Demonstrated ability to influence non-risk executives and drive decisions in ambiguous environments.
- Proficiency with SQL and BI tools (Tableau or Power BI); ability to design risk-metric frameworks, not just consume dashboards.
- Deep familiarity with at least one major risk, ERP, or core-banking platform and the upstream / downstream systems that feed it.
- Track record of leading and mentoring junior risk staff.
- Excellent written and verbal communication, including executive-level presentation skills.
- Ability to collaborate with team members in a remote work environment.
Preferred Skills
- FRM, CFA, PRM, CPA, or an MBA.
- Written and verbal communication skills in Mandarin.
- Prior experience in a high-growth technology, financial services, or cross-border services business.
- Proficiency with Python or R for risk-analytics automation and model development.
- Experience supporting regulatory exams, internal capital adequacy assessments (ICAAP / ILAAP), or board risk materials.
Additional Information
- Competitive salary and benefits package.
- Opportunities for professional growth and leadership development.
- Flexible working hours and a fully remote work environment.
- A collaborative and innovative team culture.
