Key job responsibilities
Process Expertise & Subject Matter Leadership — Demonstrate in-depth knowledge of Surface Transportation processes and serve as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) for risk management within the assigned RoW geographies. Maintain subject matter expertise specific to job functions and general industry awareness to provide informed recommendations to leadership.
Risk Mitigation & Process Improvement — Apply risk-management best practices and methodologies to mitigate identified risk issues. Execute against established SOPs, identify and recommend opportunities for process improvement, draft SOP revisions, and conduct risk assessments for new process implementations to ensure vulnerabilities are identified and mitigated before go-live.
Team Management & Development — Manage and supervise investigators — including workload assignment, quality review of investigation outputs, SLA adherence monitoring, and calibration. Mentor new hires and participate in the development and delivery of risk management training.
Trend Analysis & Financial Impact Quantification — Conduct weekly and monthly trend analysis across assigned RoW geographies, including period-over-period comparisons and concentration analysis. Own the financial impact quantification framework — tracking cost leakage, cost avoidance, and cost savings attributable to risk interventions, coordinating with finance for periodic validation.
Proactive Risk Identification & Expansion — Proactively identify new risk patterns through systematic analysis of investigation outputs and region-specific vulnerability assessments. Drive cross-pollination of risk management learnings into adjacent operational functions and workstreams to expand the program’s impact beyond core scope.
Business Reviews & Escalation Management — Own and drive operational review cadences including business review content preparation and escalation management. Perform deep-dive analysis and draft COE based on identified deviations and recommend appropriate solutions to ensure leadership visibility into program health and outcomes.
Investigation Oversight & Triage — Oversee the investigation triage process — reviewing flagged cases from monitoring dashboards, determining root cause, validating operational justifications, identifying gaps in controls and processes, and managing escalations in consultation with legal where required.
Technology Partnership & Monitoring Enhancement — Partner with automation and technology teams on dashboard enhancements, detection logic refinement, and false positive reduction to continuously improve monitoring accuracy, coverage, and program efficiencies.
Project Delivery & Execution — Develop appropriate milestones and launch project schedules to ensure timely and successful delivery of projects and standard work (e.g., audits/reviews, licensing).
Program Alignment & Business Understanding — Ensure program alignment with the risk strategy, regulations, policies, and team objectives. Understand the business needs and workflows owned by your team including financial risk, controls, escalation paths, data sources, metrics, testing mechanisms, key dependencies, automation/tools, and risk-assessment methodologies.
Stakeholder Management & Risk Culture — Maintain structured stakeholder cadences with country-specific leadership, operations execution, procurement, and carrier management teams across all assigned RoW geographies. Support risk reporting and risk-aware culture initiatives across RoW countries.
