The successful candidate will play a key role in upholding the integrity of the franchise's risk and control framework.
Key Responsibilities:

- Action Item Tracking: Diligently track, monitor, and follow up on all tasks and action items arising from CCC meetings to ensure timely completion and resolution by the responsible parties.
- Annual Survey Coordination: Lead the coordination and execution of the annual CCC survey, managing the process from distribution to data analysis and the presentation of findings.
- Documentation: Take ownership of maintaining and updating critical documents, records, and charters owned by the franchise.
II. Issue & Risk Management
- Lifecycle Oversight: Manage downloading issue data from the management dashboard, tracking progress, and following up with relevant teams to ensure timely activation and closure.
- Proactive Escalation: Provide robust oversight for all issues and Corrective Action Plans (CAPs) under the CCOBH ownership. Proactively identify and escalate potential risks, such as upcoming target dates, potential re-targets, or re-opened issues.

- Deliverable Tracking: Proactively track, coordinate, and manage all regulatory deliverables to ensure deadlines are met and submissions are of high quality.
- Communication Logging: Meticulously maintain the regulatory communication tracker, ensuring all interactions with regulatory bodies are logged accurately and promptly.
- Advisory Support: Support the Independent Compliance Risk Management (ICRM) team, as applicable, in the determination and application of regulatory requirements to a specific business or function.
