About the role
- Many banks treat Risk as a cost center - Column treats it as a competitive advantage.
- Our ability to take on new customers, expand into new product areas, and successfully operate under regulatory scrutiny depends entirely on the quality of our Risk programs.
- As we grow, the volume and complexity of that work will outpace what the team can absorb - that's where this role comes in.
Responsibilities
- Plug into whichever Risk program needs the most support at a given moment - third-party risk management, information security, model risk, privacy, financial, operational, etc. - and figure out what's broken, slow, or missing.
- Learn each program from the ground up - understand what it's actually protecting against, how it works in practice, and where the gaps are. Then re-design it so it's faster and more consistent.
- Build the tooling that makes the next version of a process possible - scripts, internal dashboards, AI-assisted review workflows, system integrations.
- Support third-party diligence and monitoring, helping assess vendor/supplier risk and turning your findings into concrete remediation steps.
- Help design business continuity and disaster recovery (BC/DR) exercises that test how Column and its partners actually respond when things go wrong.
Requirements
- 2+ years of doing something hard.
- Prior risk experience is not required - we'll teach you the domain.
- You have an optimization instinct.
- You can speak the same language as our engineering team and ask thoughtful questions to help yourself understand our environment.
- You can take a vague alert, messy vendor review, or unclear audit finding and turn it into a well-articulated response memo, policy update, or control narrative that holds up under scrutiny from auditors and regulators.
- We participate in the E-Verify program in certain locations as required by law.
