Senior Associate / Assistant Vice President, Risk

Overview

We are seeking an experienced Risk Manager to manage and execute Mirae Asset Securities (Singapore)'s risk program, with a primary focus on operational risk and secondary support across other areas of the risk function — including credit risk and daily risk monitoring.

Candidates with hands-on experience building and running RCSA processes, operational incident workflows, and first-line policy coordination within a MAS-regulated securities or brokerage environment will be highly regarded. This role is ideal for an individual comfortable executing a risk framework in a firm still standing up its risk function, working across risk categories as needed, and operating within a defined second-line sign-off structure rather than having full discretion.

Key Responsibilities

• Execute the Risk and Control Self-Assessment (RCSA) process across trading operations, settlement, IT, and the retail trading platform, including scheduling, data collection, first-cut ratings, and maintaining the risk register between periodic cycles.
• Log and classify operational incidents against the firm's risk rating metric, and drive root-cause analysis with the relevant department; refer any incident rated High or above to the Risk function for final severity sign-off.
• Chase department heads on outstanding control gaps and first-line policy coverage against the firm's operational risk taxonomy.
• Coordinate with the Compliance function and business units on third-party/outsourcing risk monitoring inputs, feeding into the Risk and Compliance Committee's (RCC)vendor review.
• Draft operational readiness assessments for new product proposals ahead of RCC review.
• Prepare operational risk papers and reporting packs for the RCC and senior management.
• Support daily monitoring of positions and exposures against quantitative risk limits.
• Assist with ad hoc data pulls and dashboard maintenance as directed by the Risk function.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Business, Risk Management, or a related discipline.
• Minimum of4–7 years of relevant experience in risk management or internal audit within a securities brokerage, bank, or asset manager, with a strong grounding in operational risk.
• Genuine RCSA and incident-management execution experience.
• Working knowledge of MAS regulatory expectations in relate to operational risk requirement.
• Comfortable executing frameworks in a firm still building out its risk function, and covering more than one risk category as the role evolves.
• Strong stakeholder management, analytical, and communication skills — able to hold department heads accountable on control gaps without formal authority to compel them.
• Excel proficiency expected; this is not primarily a reporting/dashboard role.
• Prior experience at a firm mid-build (new licence, new platform launch), or exposure to incident/RCSA tooling, will be advantageous.
