• Assess and manage risk holistically, across operations, technology, and change, using sound judgement and analysis.
• Support strong control environments, including assurance activities within evolving or technology‑enabled processes.
• Navigate emerging risk areas, such as AI and automated decisioning, with curiosity, care, and a focus on responsible use.
