• Support the RCSA annual cycle by assisting in (i) risk identification and structuring of Risk Statements, (ii) mapping risks to the applicable taxonomies (risk category, root cause, activity, product, control), and (iii) consolidating and maintaining the risk inventory.
• Support the challenge and validation activities expected from the 2nd Line of Defense, including consistency checks between inherent risk, control environment and residual risk assessments, and documentation of rationale/assumptions.
• Track and support follow-up of mitigation actions arising from RCSA and OR events, including status monitoring, evidence gathering, and escalation preparation for overdue actions.
• Support the Climate & Environmental (C&E) risk management framework by assisting in periodic assessments, monitoring of C&E indicators/KRIs, and integration of C&E considerations into regular risk reporting.

• Proactive, self-motivated, and eager to learn regulatory and internal governance requirements.
• Microsoft Excel (Intermediate or above).
• Basic proficiency with data tools (e.g., SQL or Python) is a plus, especially for data checks and automation.
• Fluency in English (written and spoken).
