Head of Capital Risk Coordination

Head of Capital Risk Coordination & Production

We are partnering with a Chief Market Risk Officer at a rapidly scaling financial institution that is strengthening its market risk & capital team and seeking a senior leader to take ownership of capital coordination, risk delivery, and enterprise execution.

This role sits at the center of the Risk organization and is designed for a professional who can bring order to complexity - aligning Market Risk teams with Capital, ALM, and Liquidity stakeholders to ensure large-scale initiatives move cleanly from concept to production.

The successful candidate will act as a senior integrator across disciplines, helping leadership navigate regulatory execution, complex transactions, and governance expectations while ensuring delivery remains consistent, controlled, and defensible.

What You'll Be Responsible For

Enterprise Capital Delivery

• Own the coordination of capital-related risk initiatives across Market Risk and adjacent functions.
• Ensure capital impacts are clearly understood, documented, and reflected in decision-making processes.

Program & Execution Leadership

• Lead firmwide risk initiatives that span multiple teams, ensuring clear accountability, sequencing, and on-time delivery.
• Translate regulatory requirements and management priorities into structured workstreams that can be operationalized.

Risk Framework Oversight

• Manage periodic reviews of risk methodologies, controls, and documentation to ensure they remain current, coherent, and aligned with supervisory expectations.
• Drive consistency in how frameworks are applied across portfolios and risk types.

Transaction & Structure Review

• Provide senior-level review of complex or non-standard transactions, including funding structures and risk transfers.
• Assess capital usage, model outputs, and risk alignment before final approval.

Regulatory Readiness

• Support regulatory engagement by ensuring materials, methodologies, and governance processes are well prepared and internally aligned.
• Anticipate regulatory change and coordinate adjustments across impacted teams.

Governance & Stakeholder Management

• Simplify governance processes and improve cross-team interaction between first and second line functions.
• Represent the Risk organization in senior forums, offering constructive challenge and clear risk perspective.

What We're Looking For

• 10 years of experience in risk management, capital planning, regulatory risk, or capital markets.
• Ideally candidates will come from a consulting firm or have experience coordinating large projects and regulatory deliverables.
• Strong working knowledge of capital frameworks, stress testing, and regulatory exams
• Demonstrated experience coordinating large, multi-stakeholder initiatives in complex environments.
• Strong understanding of Market Risk, with the ability to engage credibly across ALM, Liquidity, and Capital teams.
• Proven ability to move initiatives into production - not just design them.
• Comfortable interacting with senior management, regulators, and technical risk teams.
