About the role

zerohash is looking for an experienced Operational Risk Manager to own operational risk as a dedicated discipline within the enterprise risk program. You will design and run the RCSA process, own the loss event database, conduct scenario analysis, and serve as the Risk function’s embedded presence in the Engineering incident lifecycle. Operational risk is bottom-up and event-driven; ERM is top-down and strategic — and separating them properly is how institutional-grade risk programs are built.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years of operational risk management experience, with at least 2 years in a dedicated OpRisk role at a regulated financial services institution
  • Hands-on experience building or running a RCSA process: designed the methodology, facilitated assessments, and produced outputs for a risk committee or board
  • Experience with operational loss event management: loss event categorization, database design, and root cause analysis at the program level
  • Familiarity with scenario analysis methodology: can design and facilitate OpRisk scenarios and produce quantified board-level outputs
  • Experience working alongside Engineering or Technology teams in a risk capacity
  • Strong written communication — RCSA narratives, scenario summaries, and board-level reports are core deliverables
