RISK IS YOUR EXPERTISE. STRATEGY IS YOUR MINDSET.
The Opportunity
As our Manager, Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), you’re the steady hand helping Bridgewater Bank understand risk, make informed decisions, and strengthen the systems that protect our business.
You live where strategy meets oversight, bringing structure and clarity to an increasingly complex risk environment. You’ll design, implement, and oversee our enterprise-wide risk management framework, connecting risk identification, assessment, monitoring, and reporting across credit, operational, regulatory, liquidity, and strategic risk.
You don’t just identify risk. You translate it. Whether you’re refreshing our Risk Appetite Statement, monitoring key risk indicators, preparing Board-level reporting, or navigating evolving regulatory expectations, you turn complex information into clear, actionable insights.
As a hands-on leader and subject matter expert, you’ll work closely with senior leadership and business partners while developing a strong team of risk professionals and helping strengthen risk culture across the Bank.
How You’ll Make an Impact
- Build a strong ERM foundation. Own and maintain the Bank’s Enterprise Risk Management Framework, risk taxonomy, enterprise risk register, and risk heat maps while ensuring alignment with applicable regulatory expectations and industry practices.
- Turn risk appetite into action. Lead the annual refresh of the Risk Appetite Statement and help translate Board-approved appetite into meaningful tolerances and thresholds throughout the business.
- Keep your finger on the pulse. Lead and coordinate enterprise risk assessments, scenario analyses, and stress testing while monitoring Key Risk Indicators and Early Warning Indicators across business lines.
- Make risk information meaningful. Maintain and evolve risk reporting, including quarterly dashboards and briefing materials for senior management and Board committees.
- Keep our frameworks current. Develop and maintain ERM policies, standards, and procedures, provide guidance on their application, and coordinate policy exception management and remediation.
- Navigate the regulatory landscape. Support OSFI supervisory reviews, internal audits, and external assessments while monitoring emerging regulatory guidance and assessing its impact on the ERM program.
- Connect risk with the bigger picture. Work with Finance, Compliance, Internal Audit, Credit Risk, and business leaders to integrate risk information and issue tracking across the organization.
- Strengthen risk culture. Develop and deliver ERM-focused training and communications while coaching and mentoring the risk professionals on your team.
