CIB Operations - Governance & Control - Associate (m/f/d) - Frankfurt

Business Overview

Supervisors will continuously challenge banks on risk data aggregation capabilities and risk information reported to management. Management bodies will be expected to have access to, evaluate, and effectively challenge the accuracy of such information and to demonstrate - vis-à-vis internal and external stakeholders - that robust controls and governance practices are adhered to.

The CIB Governance & Control function’s mandate is to leverage JPM’s locally and globally established control and operations structures in order to maintain a governance framework for JPMAG, the ECB-regulated bank, which identifies, analyses and reports all risks and issues within Operations, Outsourcing and Technology-related processes (1st line of defence) across all lines of business of the bank.

If you are interested in the evolving regulatory and controls environment under which JPMAG operates and you have a strong regulatory, risk controls and governance background, ideally gained from working in the financial services industry, this will be an excellent opportunity for you grow your career at one of the global leaders in the industry.
