Manager, Process Risk and Controls
About The Position
As a manager in RSM’s growing Process Risk and Controls Practice, you will draw on your experience and knowledge while developing leadership skills through client and industry exposure, career development, mentorship, and work in a diverse and inclusive culture. The practice works as or alongside clients’ internal audit functions, chief risk officers and risk functions, Sarbanes-Oxley project teams, and other management groups responsible for managing risk. The team helps clients identify and prioritize risk and use processes and controls to reduce risk exposure. The manager leads client relationships and engagements, including risk assessments, internal audit planning, review of process and controls deliverables, and client closing meetings. The role also manages engagement economics, multiple clients and teams, and contributes to talent development, practice culture, and business development. Most roles at RSM follow a hybrid workstyle, with team members aligned to an RSM office and meeting in person when it best supports clients, teams, development, or relationship-building. Some roles may be virtual or primarily on-site based on role requirements, team priorities, and client needs.
