About the Role

As a Sr Risk Management Associate on the Marketplace team, you will own contract risk review and enforcement while serving as the liaison between the business unit and Legal, Risk, and Internal Audit functions. This role exists to ensure the Bank's Marketplace operates within the Bank’s established risk appetite — catching issues early, driving remediation, and building a stronger risk culture across the team.

What You'll Do

• Review and assess investor contracts to identify material risk exposures, flag gaps against risk appetite
• Own contract enforcement activity — tracking obligations (standard and non-standard), identifying breaches, and coordinating remediation plans with relevant stakeholders
• Act as the primary risk point of contact for the Marketplace business unit, ensuring risks are identified, escalated, managed, and closed in a timely manner
• Represent the business unit during internal and external audits, supporting risk owners with documentation, evidence, and root cause analysis
• Maintain policies, procedures, and standards relevant to Marketplace risk, working with appropriate committees for review and approval as necessary
• Deliver regular reporting to Marketplace leadership on open risk issues, action plan status, and contract compliance posture
• Identify opportunities to improve risk monitoring workflows, including the use of AI tools where appropriate, to increase accuracy, coverage, and efficiency
• Look for opportunities to use AI tools to improve how you research, track, and organize risk-related work - and share what works with the team

About You

• 2+ years of experience in risk management, compliance, or a related field within financial services
• Hands-on experience with contract review and risk assessment — proficient in reading agreements, identifying where exposure lives, and applying appropriate mitigation strategies
• Working familiarity with financial products and regulatory expectations in a lending or marketplace environment
• You take ownership of your work and follow issues through to resolution — you don't hand things off and assume they're handled
• You communicate clearly across levels — equally comfortable in a conversation with a business unit lead, or a regulator
• You actively look for ways AI can improve your work — from accelerating analysis to thinking through problems from a different angle — and you're thoughtful about accuracy and data sensitivity when doing so
• You're organized and detail-oriented, and you take tracking and documentation seriously rather than treating it as overhead

Nice to Have

• Experience working with Salesforce, or similar Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) or contract management platforms
• Experience to second-line risk functions and/or third-line audit support in a regulated financial environment
• Familiarity with marketplace lending, fintech partnerships, and/or vendor risk management frameworks
