The Analyst, Operational Risk And Internal Audit Excellence is a hands-on operator in Deel's Operational Risk Management (ORM) team. This is not a traditional risk analyst role. It is a fast solutioner role with an operational lens, where risk is the canvas and problem-solving with AI tools is the operating mode. The role focuses on owning workstreams and incidents end to end, building the AI and low-code automation the enterprise needs, and delivering outcomes that stand up to enterprise scrutiny.

Responsibilities:

• Own the day-to-day execution of Deel's Operational Risk Management workstreams such as Operational Resilience, Product Ops and Third-Party.
• Turn framework artifacts (policies, procedures, guidance) into operating tools the business actually uses.
• Drive risk assessments, control identification, and evidence collection end to end.
• Facilitate cross-functional risk sessions directly, prepare structured pre-reads, and land action items with owners.
• Build and maintain the data, KRIs, and dashboards your workstream needs.
• If the automation does not exist, build it.
• Drive open risks and issues to written closure.
• Documentation and evidence come from execution rather than coordination.
• Produce leadership-ready risk analysis and reporting that lands the first time.
• Own the accuracy and timing of your reporting.
• Fix the source over the symptom.
• Embed operational risk into product and engineering change initiatives from the start.
• Research and integrate emerging operational risks into the workstreams you own.
• Promote consistent operating discipline through written updates, reusable tooling, and clear documentation.

Qualifications:

• A minimum of 5 years operating in operational risk, business operations, RevOps, or top-tier consulting.
• Financial services background is desirable; we are looking for operator shape over risk pedigree.
• Curiosity about risk and the operational problems it exposes (bad process, missed signals, broken accountability).
• Hands-on experience with operational risk programs including RCSAs, KRIs, incident management, third-party risk, operational resilience, or change risk management.
• Familiarity with any of these is a plus.
• Strong attention to detail with experience managing structured risk data and analytical skills to identify patterns and trends.
• Daily use of AI tools in your workflow (Claude, agent platforms, Cursor, or equivalent). Fluency, not experimentation.
• Any active portfolio would be a big plus.
• Comfort in low-code environments (Zapier, Workbench, or similar).
• Ability to script when needed (Python, SQL basics).
• Clear written and verbal communication for reports and stakeholder interactions.
• Professional certifications (e.g., ORM, CRISC, FRM) are desirable but not required.
