Type: Permanent | Banking & Risk

Strengthen controls. Safeguard performance.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced risk professional to play a key role in monitoring and managing risk within a dynamic banking environment. If you have a keen eye for operational, country, and business continuity risks — and want to build a culture of risk awareness and transparency — this role is your platform to add real value.

About the Role

You’ll support oversight of key risk areas, implement risk strategies, and enhance internal controls and risk reporting frameworks. You’ll actively engage with risk committees and first-line departments, ensuring alignment with regulatory requirements, Basel III standards, and best practice risk culture.

What You’ll Do

Oversee Operational Risk, Country Risk, and Business Continuity Management.
Implement and monitor risk strategies, tools, and controls.
Support risk data aggregation and risk reporting frameworks (RDARR).
Develop and update policies and procedures in line with regulatory expectations.
Coordinate with the Comprehensive Risk Management Committee, preparing materials and reports.
Build strong engagement with first line departments to promote a culture of transparency.
Prepare regulatory presentations and support liquidity and credit analysis when needed.
Perform additional risk-related work as required.

What You Bring

Degree in Economics or related field.
3–5 years’ experience in a similar position within a commercial banking environment.
Sound understanding of risk management in banking, with expertise in credit risk, operational risk, analytics, and KPIs.
Familiarity with Basel III and regulator requirements.
Strong analytical, communication, and organisational skills.
Ability to handle confidential information with professionalism.
Fluency in English and Chinese.
Motivated, dynamic, and able to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced setting.

What Success Looks Like
Robust risk monitoring, clear frameworks, and a proactive culture of risk management that supports the bank’s strategic objectives — all strengthened by your insight, oversight, and collaboration.
