Market Risk Governance Strategy Lead, Vice President

Citi • Mississauga, ON

2d • CA$111,600 - CA$161,600 • Onsite

About The Position

The Chief Risk Officer for Finance (Finance CRO) organization provides risk management oversight of the Global Finance function, including effective risk challenge and mitigation of risk for capital, liquidity, foreign exchange risk, and non-USD Treasury investments, and ensures compliance with all risk-related regulatory requirements. The Non-Trading Market Risk (NTMR) Management group, a part of the Finance CRO organization, is responsible for the independent risk management of non-trading market risk. This includes Foreign Exchange Risk in the Banking Book (FXRBB) as well as the market risk management of non-USD Treasury Investments. This is a unique, high-visibility role that combines strategic governance with deep technical risk oversight. You will be the central point of contact responsible for orchestrating our interactions with the firm's most senior governance forums (including the Board Risk Management Committee, ALCO, TROC) and key regulators (FRB, OCC, FDIC). Simultaneously, you will serve as a subject matter expert providing independent second-line market risk oversight of first-line activities, including FXRBB and non-USD Treasury Investments. This is not a support function; you will be a strategic partner to risk leaders, ensuring the integrity of our risk management framework while driving the quality and effectiveness of the information that guides critical internal and external decision-making.
