Your Role
This is a hands-on operator role. You will update risk registers yourself, run functional risk lead check-ins, and produce board materials. No direct reports.
Alpaca has the ERM framework, taxonomy, and scoring model. As ERM Program Manager, you will own execution: intake from functional risk leads, risk register hygiene, residual scoring with risk owners, and board-ready reporting on schedule. You report to the CISO / ERM Lead and work closely with the ERM Working Group, functional risk leads, and local entity leaders.
Things You Get To Do
•
Run the ERM intake cycle end to end: Ticket ingestion, functional interviews, surveys, and ad hoc signals from incidents or operational channels.
•
Maintain functional and enterprise risk registers in Vanta: owners, inherent and residual scores, mitigations, and status.
•
Coordinate functional risk lead check-ins, chase blockers, and normalize inputs into the enterprise view.
•
Map risks to Alpaca’s 15 L1 categories and Appendix C L2 subcategories to enterprise scenarios for reporting.
•
Apply the ERM Risk Scoring Model and push residual validation with risk owners.
•
Track mitigation plans, action owners, target dates, and escalations.
•
Define KRIs with data owners; use proxy metrics where instrumentation is still maturing.
•
Produce leadership and board ERM materials.
•
Support ERM Working Group agendas, minutes, and action tracking.
•
Operate the intake triage workflow: score, dedupe, register action.
•
Build playbooks and templates for functional leads.
•
Support local entity quarterly risk updates and escalation hygiene.
•
Surface emerging risks (crypto, AI, multi-jurisdiction) for review.
Who You Are (Must-Haves)
•
Mid-career (roughly 5 to 10 years) in operational risk, ERM, GRC, or compliance program management at a regulated financial institution (broker-dealer, fintech, or capital markets).
•
Built or run a risk register from intake through reporting. Not framework design only.
•
Can coordinate Legal, Compliance, Finance, Product, Security, and Operations stakeholders without direct authority.
•
Hands-on GRC platform experience
•
Clear writing: risk statements, executive summaries, board-ready tables.
•
SEC/FINRA familiarity or equivalent regulated-environment experience.
Who You Might Be (Nice-To-Haves)
•
Broker-dealer, clearing, or custody operations context.
•

•

•
Multi-entity, multi-jurisdiction risk consolidation.
•
Jira service desk or structured intake workflow design.
•
COSO ERM / ISO 31000 implementation as an operator.
•
Prior work drafting board or risk committee reporting.
