LHH is looking for a Business Control Specialist for one of our top financial clients in Jersey City!!

About the Role:

Put your risk-savvy mindset to work 🧠💼 in a role that blends operational excellence, critical thinking, and global teamwork 🌍🤝. As our Risk & Control Sidekick 🦸‍♀️🛡️ (okay, technically it's a specialist, but you’ll feel like a superhero), you’ll track and tame operational issues from their first sighting to final resolution—making sure they don’t come back to haunt us 👀🚫. You’ll be the go-to expert guiding our Global Markets Operations (GMO) team through the risk landscape, using the bank’s risk framework like a pro-level GPS 🗺️. Whether it’s audits, escalations, or surprise curveballs from compliance 🎯⚠️, you’ll be ready to handle it with a calm head and clear communication. Bonus: you’ll get to work across teams like Exchange Traded Derivatives and Collateral Ops—no two days will feel the same 🔁🎢!

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Keep tabs on operational issues from start to finish, ensuring they’re resolved and don’t pop back up like bad sequels.

• Beat the clock by meeting key deadlines for identifying and fixing risk-related issues.

• Chat with teams across the globe, offering guidance and insights that help them avoid risks and stay in the clear.

• Be the bridge between internal auditors, compliance folks, and our amazing GMO teams—helping everyone speak the same (risk-friendly) language.

• Jump into ad hoc risk-related missions as needed—we promise, it won’t be boring.

What You’ll Bring:

• At least 5 years of experience in Global Markets Operations (risk, compliance, or audit chops? Even better!).

• A natural control mindset—you notice the little things before they become big things.

• You’re not afraid to challenge the status quo if it means making things better.

• Critical thinking? Problem-solving? Creativity? You’ve got all three on speed dial.

• Organizational ninja skills—you can juggle multiple priorities without breaking a sweat.

• Confident communicator who can simplify the complex and get your point across at every level.

• Familiarity with the bank’s risk framework and how to apply it in the real world.

• Strong team player who loves collaborating and making an impact.

• PowerPoint and Excel skills sharp enough to impress senior execs.
