The individual will identify, assess, monitor, and mitigate operational, fraud, compliance, and financial risks across Treasury Management offerings while enabling safe product usage and growth.

• Assess and challenge business practices where intended product design differs from execution, such as marketing or rewards discrepancies (for example, intended 2 percent cash back versus marketed 3–5 percent offers), and partner with stakeholders to remediate risk.
• Monitor key portfolio performance indicators including delinquency trends, losses, charge-offs, fraud trends, and macroeconomic impacts.
• Work closely with the Enterprise Fraud team to ensure fraud monitoring tools and detection strategies are appropriate for the card portfolio and support enhancements as needed.
• Partner with underwriting and collections teams to evaluate credit strategies, improve loss mitigation, and support portfolio optimization.
• Lead or support investigations, root cause analyses, and remediation planning for risk events, fraud incidents, or control breakdowns.
• Represent segment risk in product development, change management, and growth initiatives to ensure expansions or enhancements align with risk appetite.
• Support growth by partnering closely with the card business leadership and Mark Ward to enable prudent expansion, customer acquisition, and inactive product revitalization.
• Provide risk input and advisory support in leadership discussions, working sessions, and decision-making forums.
• Support the development and maintenance of policies, procedures, and controls to ensure consistent execution across the business.
• Ensure compliance with applicable banking regulations, card network rules, and industry standards, including Reg Z, Reg E, PCI DSS, and Visa/Mastercard requirements.
• Support internal audits, regulatory exams, and external reviews related to card programs.
• Partner with data and analytics teams to enhance reporting, early warning indicators, and portfolio monitoring capabilities.

• Strong understanding of operational risk, fraud risk, and compliance considerations associated with high-dollar and high-volume payment activity.

• Strong analytical, organizational, and critical thinking skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
