Capital One is seeking an energetic, self-motivated Director to lead the Country Risk team within the Operational Risk Management second line of defense. The Country Risk team is a dedicated group of risk professionals responsible for overseeing and effectively challenging Capital One’s international business activities, including our non-US products, services, offshore associates and contractors, and facilities to manage our international risk exposure. This role will lead efforts underway to enhance Capital One’s framework, requirements, processes, and expectations for the management of international business activities to support our growing international footprint. Country Risk impacts all types of risk at Capital One, including financial and non-financial risk. As a result, you’ll lead cross-functionally with partners across the organization in a highly visible manner while developing enhanced program requirements to oversee new and existing international functions. As a Director in Risk Management, you will also lead your team’s efforts to effectively challenge new products, services, or offshoring functions via LAUNCH (Capital One’s assessment framework for new and changing initiatives) and other change management forums. As part of the larger Operational Risk Management (ORM) organization, you will work with fellow Director+ leaders to deliver on our ORM ambitions to build a world class risk management organization. This includes putting our people first through your role as a people leader, exemplifying the spirit of risk management by speaking up, challenging the status quo, and crushing our core risk management functions in the second line of defense. You’ll also bring your unique perspective and experiences to help us be rigorous, curious and creative. Directors in Risk Management have a natural passion for managing risk with excellent project, process and analytical skills. They are highly motivated Risk Management professionals with excellent organizational, leadership and communication skills with a high level of exposure to executives across lines of business. Successful Directors will create and implement innovative solutions to identify and mitigate potential risks to the company. With these skills, they serve as change agents to effectively challenge business leaders on our highest profile risk projects.
