About The Position

The Assistant Vice President, Control Initiative Execution & Delivery will serve as a key execution leader within the Supervisory Controls Management team, responsible for owning and advancing a portfolio of control-related initiatives across the Supervision organization. This role is designed for broad-based supervisory controls professionals who can quickly understand a wide range of control environments, assess how those controls operate today, and drive structured execution to deliver stronger future-state processes, workflows, and outcomes. This is a highly execution-oriented individual contributor role. There may be multiple professionals in this role, each maintaining a portfolio of initiatives and partnering closely with other stakeholders across the firm. The AVP does not need to be the deepest subject matter expert in every control area but must bring enough breadth across supervision and supervisory controls to lead effectively regardless of topic, ask the right questions, synthesize available insights, and move work forward in a disciplined and well-coordinated way. The ideal candidate combines broad supervisory controls knowledge with strong program or project delivery skills, a structured approach to problem-solving, and the ability to coordinate across multiple stakeholders to assess current state, define future state, and execute work to completion. We’re looking for a strong execution-oriented professional who brings broad familiarity with supervision and supervisory controls, but who also knows how to turn ideas into action. The ideal candidate is organized, curious, and able to move comfortably between analysis, planning, stakeholder management, and delivery. This person should be able to assess a control area they may not know deeply on day one, ask thoughtful questions, build credibility quickly, and drive work forward in a structured and practical way. This role is best suited for someone who enjoys solving complex business problems, coordinating across functions, and bringing order to multifaceted initiatives with many moving parts. Success in this role will require strong follow-through, sound judgment, clear communication, and the ability to influence without direct authority.
