Enterprise Risk Manager

• →

  You'd rather be in the room when a risk decision is being made than reviewing it after the fact.

• →

  You've been waiting for a role where you can build ERM from 0 to 1, not inherit a brittle framework held together by legacy decisions and annual exercises.

• →

  You enjoy turning ambiguity into structure - risk signals, partial inputs, and competing incentives motivate you, not scare you.

• →

  You care about how decisions actually get made, and you want risk to be part of that moment, not an after-the-fact artifact.

• →

  You want to design programs (ERM, MRM, TPRM) that are operational and used daily, not frameworks that only come out for audits.

• You want a fully defined ERM program handed to you on day one, with clear lanes, mature tooling, and minimal ambiguity.

• You prefer owning a slice of the puzzle rather than being accountable for the whole risk system.

• You need stability and predictability to do your best work - scope shifts, direction changes, and things getting rebuilt from scratch are part of how we operate.

• You're looking for a role where you can lead from a distance. There's no team to delegate to and no playbook to hand off.

• Accountability makes you uncomfortable. If something in risk goes wrong here, it's yours to own and fix.

• 8+ years in risk management, with at least 5 years leading enterprise-level risk, including direct ownership of ERM frameworks, risk taxonomy, assessment methodology, and issues escalation.

• Hands-on experience building or redesigning an ERM program from the ground up. Policy authorship alone doesn't count.

• Direct ownership of Model Risk Management or Third-Party Risk Management, including inventory management, risk tiering, governance cadence, issue tracking, and integration into enterprise reporting.

• Comfortable acting as an independent second line: challenging the first line, making judgment calls, and defending them to executives, auditors, and regulators.

• In Dallas, New York City or ready to relocate.
