A career as a Senior Advisor, Scenario Analysis, Operational and Non-Financial Risk within the Integrated Risk Management team at National Bank means acting as the functional owner of the non-financial risk scenario analysis process. This role allows you to play a key part in strengthening the resilience and governance of non-financial risks, beyond the execution of exercises. Leveraging your expertise in operational risk management, scenario analysis, and project coordination, you lead the exercises end to end and work closely with Risk teams and business lines to actively contribute to the evolution and maturity of scenario analysis practices.

Ensure that the robustness of controls, capabilities, and response plans is tested
Provide governance bodies and executive committees with value-added analyses that go beyond compliance requirements
Contribute to discussions with oversight and audit functions in support of compliance demonstrations
Manage processes involving more than 30 stakeholders (multi‑month timelines, ensuring that everyone understands their role in the production chain and meets deadlines)
Conduct external benchmarking to identify practices used by other banks and international markets
