Transversal & Capital Risk Lead
Head of Capital Risk Coordination & Production
We are partnering with a Chief Market Risk Officer at a rapidly scaling financial institution that is strengthening its market risk & capital team and seeking a senior leader to take ownership of capital coordination, risk delivery, and enterprise execution.
This role sits at the center of the Risk organization and is designed for a professional who can bring order to complexity - aligning Market Risk teams with Capital, ALM, and Liquidity stakeholders to ensure large-scale initiatives move cleanly from concept to production.
The successful candidate will act as a senior integrator across disciplines, helping leadership navigate regulatory execution, complex transactions, and governance expectations while ensuring delivery remains consistent, controlled, and defensible.
What You'll Be Responsible For
Enterprise Capital Delivery
- Own the coordination of capital-related risk initiatives across Market Risk and adjacent functions.
- Ensure capital impacts are clearly understood, documented, and reflected in decision-making processes.
Program & Execution Leadership
- Lead firmwide risk initiatives that span multiple teams, ensuring clear accountability, sequencing, and on-time delivery.
- Translate regulatory requirements and management priorities into structured workstreams that can be operationalized.
Risk Framework Oversight
- Manage periodic reviews of risk methodologies, controls, and documentation to ensure they remain current, coherent, and aligned with supervisory expectations.
- Drive consistency in how frameworks are applied across portfolios and risk types.
Transaction & Structure Review
- Provide senior-level review of complex or non-standard transactions, including funding structures and risk transfers.
- Assess capital usage, model outputs, and risk alignment before final approval.
Regulatory Readiness
- Support regulatory engagement by ensuring materials, methodologies, and governance processes are well prepared and internally aligned.
- Anticipate regulatory change and coordinate adjustments across impacted teams.
Governance & Stakeholder Management
- Simplify governance processes and improve cross-team interaction between first and second line functions.
- Represent the Risk organization in senior forums, offering constructive challenge and clear risk perspective.
What We're Looking For
- 10+ years of experience in risk management, capital planning, regulatory risk, or capital markets.
- Ideally candidates will come from a consulting firm or have experience coordinating large projects and regulatory deliverables.
- Strong working knowledge of capital frameworks, stress testing, and regulatory exams
- Demonstrated experience coordinating large, multi-stakeholder initiatives in complex environments.
- Strong understanding of Market Risk, with the ability to engage credibly across ALM, Liquidity, and Capital teams.
- Proven ability to move initiatives into production - not just design them.
- Comfortable interacting with senior management, regulators, and technical risk teams.
