About the Role:

We have an excellent opportunity on a Large and Foreign Banking Organization (LFBO) Dedicated Supervisory Team to serve as a risk specialist covering Independent Risk Management broadly and with emphasis for assessing the firm’s enterprise and operational risks and related risk management processes from a safety and soundness perspective. You will report to the Director of Examinations/Deputy Central Point of Contact and be a part of a team of examiners responsible for assessing Governance and Controls (G&C) under the Federal Reserve’s Large Financial Institution’s (LFI) Rating Framework.

As a firm within FRBD’s growing LFBO portfolio, the firm is a Category III institution subject to the Dodd-Frank Act Enhanced Prudential Standards and the Capital Plan Rule. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to be exposed to the development of, and directly supervise, emerging activities in an assessment of the firm’s continued safety and soundness within the financial industry, across all three lines of defense. As such, a deep understanding of the Consolidated Supervision Framework for Large Financial Institutions outlined in SR Letter 12-17 is required. The candidate should also be familiar with the LFI Ratings Framework outlined in SR Letter 19-3, as well as any other applicable guidance.

You Will:

• Lead the coverage of independent risk management, with a particular focus on operational risk areas and lead or participate in the supervisory assessments of enterprise risk management, board effectiveness, independent risk management, compliance, management of business lines, and internal audit.
• Act as Examiner-in-Charge of related supervisory events, conduct horizontal and coordinated reviews, and routinely interact with internal and Federal Reserve System (FRS)-level colleagues, other regulators, and the firm’s senior management and staff.
• Contribute to the assessment of regulatory ratings for G&C as well as risk management and CAMELS.
• Develop and implement a strong risk-focused supervisory program in accordance with the LFBO Management Group’s program requirements.
• Define and conduct ongoing risk-focused supervisory activities, including MIS reviews and leading routine meetings with management to develop a deep and broad understanding of the firm’s strategies, risks, and risk management practices. Perform timely and periodic risk analyses to determine the level and trend of risks and identify emerging issues.
• Develop creative approaches for evaluating coverage areas and related risk management practices relative to peer companies. Devise methods to efficiently incorporate internal and external data into the ongoing supervision process.
• Deliver clear supervisory messages to management that describes where the firm stands relative to supervisory expectations and required actions for addressing matters that require attention, as applicable.
• Collaborate with other risk specialists on the team and the Texas Department of Savings and Mortgage Lending (SML) examiners to develop a comprehensive understanding of operational risks.
• Build and maintain effective working relationships within the team, with peers, within FRBD, FRS, with other regulatory agencies (especially the SML as well as the SEC and FINRA).
• Demonstrate agility and leadership through the ability to cover other risk topics not specifically captured in primary areas of responsibility, based on team needs.
• Ensure high quality and timely completion of required supervisory work products and perform quality control to ensure compliance with local policies/procedures and FRS requirements.
• Interpret regulatory guidance and evaluate the potential impact on the safety and soundness of the firm. Maintain an awareness of potential changes to key rules, laws and regulations, and supervisory policies as applicable.

You Have:

• Bachelor’s degree in business administration, finance, economics, or other related field is required; advanced degree is preferred.
• Seven or more years of direct supervisory or comparable banking and financial industry experience. An active examiner commission from a federal or state banking supervisory agency is preferred.
• Working knowledge with the Federal Reserve’s Consolidated Supervision Framework for Large Financial Institutions and LFI rating (e.g., SR 12-17 & SR 19-3) as well as the CAMELS rating framework.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills. An ability to listen and communicate clearly, logically, and persuasively at multiple levels in the organization and effectively articulate themes and conclusions both verbally and in writing.
• Advanced analytical skills and the ability to apply and explain complex regulatory concepts. Strong problem-solving skills that support and enable sound decision-making, and the ability to synthesize large amounts of complex, disparate information to formulate well-supported conclusions and concise views.
• Experience evaluating a variety of risks facing complex financial institutions, and the ability to identify prudent practices for managing those risks.
• Capacity to pursue multiple initiatives at the same time and deliver successful outcomes.
