• Data-Driven Performance & Iteration: Establish and monitor specialized system metrics (e.g., system integrity, manual intervention rates, system latency, and system health) to refine system features and optimize the product roadmap post-launch. 

• Horizontal Collaboration & Influence: Build strong connections across second line of defense teams and first line partners. Connect frameworks and technical capabilities horizontally to deliver a streamlined, integrated risk experience.

• Team Leadership & Process Evolution: Promote continuous improvement and evolution of processes. Reduce roadblocks for cross-functional partners, set tactical goals for system development, and effectively prioritize competing deliverables.

Skills and Capabilities

• Analytical & Integrated Problem Solving: Exceptional critical thinking with the ability to "connect the dots" across complex data structures, system configurations, and risk taxonomies.

• Technical & Product Fluency: Strong familiarity with relational data models, product development frameworks, and the application of automation tools and AI to drive operational leverage.

• Strategic Influence & Communication: Proven ability to act as a primary liaison and strategic communicator across teams. Adept at distilling complex technical architecture, data schemas, and risk concepts into clear, actionable insights and decision points for senior leadership and core stakeholders.
