About risk management roles

Risk roles own the methodology for identifying, assessing, and escalating enterprise, operational, and technology risk. Second-line teams set risk appetite and challenge the first line. Roles like this one are typically evaluated against frameworks such as enterprise and operational risk frameworks, NIST AI RMF, and risk-appetite and escalation practices.

How to position yourself for this risk management role

Strong candidates emphasize risk assessment methodology, appetite and escalation, cross-functional partnership, and clear reporting to senior leadership and the board. In your resume and outreach, tie your experience to how M&T Bank would apply enterprise and operational risk frameworks, NIST AI RMF, and risk-appetite and escalation practices, and lead with concrete outcomes rather than duties.
