In this individual contributor role, you will support and mature delivery capabilities aligned to the One Operating Model SAFe framework, with a strong focus on risk management, internal controls, and audit readiness. Acting as a Business Risk Internal Control (BRIC) partner, you will collaborate across teams-including Risk, Audit, and Technology-to enhance processes, improve data integrity, and ensure adherence to regulatory standards and internal policies.

You will contribute to building a proactive, sustainable risk and controls environment by maintaining and evolving risk and control self-assessments, strengthening internal control design and testing, and supporting regulatory and audit engagements.

Success in this role will come from your ability to navigate complexity, collaborate effectively across functions, and drive meaningful outcomes that strengthen risk management maturity across the enterprise.
