As a Product Risk Manager, you will be responsible for providing integrative, strategic risk management advice to product owners and builders across our practices, functions, and industries. You will work hand in hand with practice and function leadership to ensure that the products and solutions being developed meet McKinsey’s high bar for risk management and assurance.
In this role you will lead the evaluation and triage of higher-risk and complex products, as well as interface with cross-functional Legal, Risk, and Compliance colleagues to ensure appropriate risk review and oversight according to firm policies and regulations. You will also lead and execute projects to improve the product risk process and collaborate with key stakeholders needed to move the product risk assessment program forward, partnering closely with the Associate Director, Product Risk.
You will combine a deep risk-ownership mindset, strong technology expertise, and outstanding judgment to manage complex and time-critical issues and act as a peer counselor and advisor to teams seeking to build secure products. The goal of your work will be to make it as simple and clear as possible for product teams to understand risk requirements, complete risk reviews, and implement controls in products to reduce the risk of mis-development or misuse of products.
You will provide guidance, mentorship, and support to Risk Operations and Experience (ROX) team members of all levels of seniority, sharing knowledge and growing skills as well as help to shape the team agenda and advise team members on recommended solutions. You will mentor and apprentice more junior colleagues, providing developmental support and guidance, and driving the year-end evaluation process for direct reports.
