About The Position

As a Sr Risk Management Associate on the Marketplace team, you will own contract risk review and enforcement while serving as the liaison between the business unit and Legal, Risk, and Internal Audit functions. This role exists to ensure the Bank's Marketplace operates within the Bank’s established risk appetite — catching issues early, driving remediation, and building a stronger risk culture across the team.

Requirements

2+ years of experience in risk management, compliance, or a related field within financial services
Hands-on experience with contract review and risk assessment — proficient in reading agreements, identifying where exposure lives, and applying appropriate mitigation strategies
Working familiarity with financial products and regulatory expectations in a lending or marketplace environment
You take ownership of your work and follow issues through to resolution — you don't hand things off and assume they're handled
You communicate clearly across levels — equally comfortable in a conversation with a business unit lead, or a regulator
You actively look for ways AI can improve your work — from accelerating analysis to thinking through problems from a different angle — and you're thoughtful about accuracy and data sensitivity when doing so
You're organized and detail-oriented, and you take tracking and documentation seriously rather than treating it as overhead

Nice To Haves

Experience working with Salesforce, or similar Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) or contract management platforms
Experience to second-line risk functions and/or third-line audit support in a regulated financial environment
Familiarity with marketplace lending, fintech partnerships, and/or vendor risk management frameworks

Represent the business unit during internal and external audits, supporting risk owners with documentation, evidence, and root cause analysis
