Firmwide Risk Identification, Executive Director
About The Position
As an Executive Director on JPMorgan Chase’s Firmwide Risk Identification team within Risk Management and Compliance, you will be a senior team member working across risk identification, scenario design, and capital stress testing. You will drive regulatory and business deliverables, partner with lines of business and corporate functions, and bring structure to ambiguous issues while balancing technical execution, clear communication, sound judgment, and follow-through. You will work with senior Risk Management and Finance stakeholders as a peer on risk identification matters, lead strategic initiatives, and help shape the team’s technology strategies—including automation and AI/LLM applications where they add clear value. Candidates suited to the role have a long-term interest in enterprise risk management, framework-oriented thinking, comfort with ambiguity, and people leadership experience. This is not a program management or quantitative modeling role; the position calls for a broad thinker grounded in financial services and experienced across risk topics.
Requirements
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to tailor messages for senior stakeholders, regulators, and cross-functional audiences.
- Strong partnership skills, including influencing without authority and building alignment across teams with different priorities.
- Sound judgment and demonstrated ability to operate effectively in ambiguity, manage conflict, and drive alignment across multiple functions and senior stakeholders.
- Strong quality orientation and attention to detail, balanced with the ability to prioritize under time constraints.
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience; the posting specifies 8+ years at a minimum.
- At least 8 years of experience in risk management, finance, treasury, stress testing, or closely related disciplines within a large financial institution.
- Authorization to work in the United States; the employer does not offer employment-based immigration sponsorship or assistance with other immigration sponsorship or benefits, including OPT or CPT.
Nice To Haves
- Experience with risk identification and scenario design in a financial services setting.
- Prior people leadership experience, including matrixed reports such as cross-functional project teams.

Responsibilities
- Own and execute strategic initiatives that maintain the quality and usability of the Firm’s Risk Identification framework, including reviewing the risk materiality framework, streamlining its use for activities such as scenario design, and leading AI/LLM initiatives that extract value from the Material Risk Inventory and related information.
- Own and execute regulatory capital stress testing deliverables and timelines, ensuring readiness for internal governance and external submission.
- Support scenario-related content development across partners and produce high-quality outputs for the firm’s regulatory submission package, with clear documentation and auditability.
- Maintain process governance through procedures, controls, evidence, and change tracking to support credible, repeatable execution.

- Drive continuous improvement through standardization, simplification, stronger quality checks, process improvements, streamlining the controls landscape, and using AI/LLM capabilities to refine day-to-day tasks.
