• Own stakeholder relationships across the business, providing strategic perspectives and effectively communicating risks, opportunities, recommendations, and root-cause insights.
• Mentor and coach Analysts and Senior Analysts, developing their analytical, communication, and project management skills and fostering a high-performing, collaborative team culture.
• Drive thought leadership through deep & rapid knowledge building in key areas, and successfully translating that knowledge into actionable insights and innovative approaches for the business, with a level of influence that drives resulting action and improvement.
• Demonstrate ability to pull on past relevant experiences/knowledge to connect the dots and deliver stronger and more practical results/recommendations.
• Represent Risk Advisory as a trusted advisor, offering practical solutions and ad-hoc support to management as needed.

Does this sound like you?

• A bachelor's degree in business or a related field; MBA, CPA, CIA, PMP or similar designation is a strong asset.
• Highly proficient with Microsoft Office applications, including advanced Excel and PowerPoint; data visualization experience is an advantage.
• Strong business acumen, demonstrating strong understanding of the link between strategy, operations, risks, and controls in a cohesive narrative.
• Exceptional communication skills, particularly in developing and delivering clear, compelling, and visually engaging stories and presentations.
• Proven leadership and coaching ability, with a passion for developing talent and elevating team performance.
• Collaborative, curious, and solutions-oriented leader with an entrepreneurial mindset and the ability to thrive in an agile environment.
• Strong work ethic and genuine desire to make a meaningful impact on the business and community.
