Senior Manager & Operational Risk Officer
About the role
with paragraphs describing the role overview. Then there is a list of duties: "Provides oversight, monitoring and reporting on operational risks for a designated portfolio. Develops and monitors the operational management framework..." etc. That's responsibilities. So we can haveResponsibilities
with- each bullet.
Then there is "Qualifications:" section with bullet list of qualifications. That's qualifications. Also there is "Typically 7+ years of relevant experience..." etc. That's qualifications.
Then there is "Skills:" maybe not explicit but there is list of skill competencies: "Verbal & written communication skills - In-depth / Expert." etc. That could be Skills section.
Then there is "Salary: $100,000.00 - $220,000.00 Pay Type: Salaried" plus description about total compensation, benefits. So we can have Pay section with that info. Benefits: "BMO also offers health insurance, tuition reimbursement, accident and life insurance, and retirement savings plans." plus link to total rewards. So Benefits section.
Schedule: Not mentioned. So we should not include Schedule.
Also there is "About Us" section describing BMO purpose etc. That could be About the role? Actually "About Us" is company description, could be part of About the role or separate? The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include About the role (role overview) and maybe also include About Us? Not in list. Probably we should not include About Us as a heading unless we map it to About the role? The instruction says use those headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies those are the allowed headings. So we should stick to those. So we can put company description maybe under About the role? But that might be mixing. However we could include a short paragraph about BMO under About the role? The About the role section should contain role overview; we could also include company description there if relevant. But better to keep About the role focusing on role description; we could omit About Us as it's not required. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we must keep the About Us info somewhere. If we don't have a heading for it, we could incorporate it into About the role as a paragraph? That would be adding content not originally there but it's still preserving. It's okay as long as we don't invent. We are just moving it. That seems acceptable. Alternatively we could create a heading "About the role" and include both role overview and company description. That preserves info. Now we need to avoid boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, application instructions, cookie/navigation/legal. So we must remove those paragraphs at the end: "BMO is proud to be an equal employment opportunity employer..." etc. Also "Note to Recruiters:" etc. Remove. Also remove duplicated lines. Now we need to extract responsibilities list. Let's copy the responsibilities sentences: - Provides oversight, monitoring and reporting on operational risks for a designated portfolio. - Develops and monitors the operational management framework that includes the governance framework & practices leveraged across BMO to manage operational risks. - Provides policies & standards, methodologies and controls that increase transparency, accuracy and consistency across groups. - Works with stakeholders to implement the methodology, metrics and program standards for the assigned portfolio to ensure compliance as well as effective monitoring, timely reporting and identification of action plans. - Provides strategic input into business decisions as a trusted advisor. - Makes recommendations to senior leaders on strategy and new initiatives, based on an in-depth understanding of the business/group. - Acts as a subject matter expert on relevant regulations and policies. - May network with industry contacts to gain competitive insights and best practices. - Interprets new regulations and assesses impacts to the governance framework. - Develops reports on the status of the governance program or framework components to various internal & external stakeholder audiences. - Influences and negotiates to achieve business objectives. - Identifies emerging issues and trends to inform decision-making. - Recommends business priorities, advises on resource requirements and develops roadmap for strategic execution. - Manages resources and leads the execution of strategic initiatives to deliver on business and financial goals. - Measures the effectiveness of risk governance system and framework; recommends changes as required. - Conducts independent analysis and assessment to resolve strategic issues. - Leads the development and maintenance of the governance system and framework. - Acts as the prime subject matter expert for internal/external stakeholders. - Represents the model validation program / portfolio for internal/external regulatory audits and/or examinations. - Ensures alignment between stakeholders. - Designs and produces regular and ad-hoc reports, and dashboards. - Develops and manages comprehensive information management systems; designs and/or leads initiatives to improve processes, analysis and reporting. - Defines business requirements for analytics & reporting to ensure data insights inform business decision making. - Leads change management programs of varying scope and type, including readiness assessments, planning, stakeholder management, execution, evaluation and sustainment of initiatives. - Leads the development of the communication strategy focusing on positively influencing or changing behaviour. - Leads the execution of operational programs; assesses and adapts as needed to ensure quality of execution. - Manages the review and sign-off process for relevant regulatory reporting. - Leads and integrates the monitoring, measurement & reporting on the status of the operational risk governance program to internal & external stakeholders. - Leads the management of governance meetings and maintenance of governing body mandates, oversight and approval guidelines. - May provide specialized support for other internal and external regulatory requirements. - Provides input into the planning and implementation of ongoing operational programs in support of the operational risk framework. - Leads/participates in the design, implementation and management of core business/group processes. - Administers and maintains operational risk program activities in adherence to all policies, procedures and established processes. - Identifies potential risk situations/ impacts, and make recommendations or escalates to the manager, as per guidelines. - Develops and maintains in-depth knowledge of business and related risk management requirements and legislative/ regulatory directives and guidance. - Builds effective relationships with internal/external stakeholders e.g. business stakeholders and Corporate Support Areas (CSAs) in providing ‘second line of defense’ operational risk management support. - Analyzes data and information to provide insights and recommendations; includes identification of risk impacts for new processes and workflows related to initiatives. - Monitors and tracks performance; addresses any issues. - Coordinates and monitors the review and sign-off of attestations and reporting. - Maintains tools and templates for operational risk programs (e.g., Risk Control Self Assessment (RCSA), Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) or regulatory compliance), as required. - Operates at a group/enterprise-wide level and serves as a specialist resource to senior leaders and stakeholders. - Applies expertise and thinks creatively to address unique or ambiguous situations and to find solutions to problems that can be complex and non-routine. - Implements changes in response to shifting trends. - Broader work or accountabilities may be assigned as needed.

. Now About the role: combine the initial paragraph about role overview plus maybe the "About Us" description. Let's capture the initial overview: "This Senior Manager, Operational Risk Officer role presents a unique opportunity to play a highly visible and influential oversight role within the Finance function at a time when operational and non-financial risk management is becoming increasingly important across the organization. As part of the second line of defence, the successful candidate will provide independent challenge and oversight of Finance's risk management practices, control environment, and remediation activities, while partnering with senior leaders across multiple lines of business and corporate functions. The role offers significant exposure to executive stakeholders and high-priority initiatives, including special projects that receive considerable leadership attention, creating an exceptional platform to build credibility, make a meaningful impact, and elevate one's profile across the bank. The ideal candidate is an experienced risk or finance professional with the confidence, presence, and business acumen to effectively challenge senior stakeholders and influence decision-making. A strong foundation in accounting, financial management, controllership, SOX, audit, or related finance disciplines is highly desirable, with a CPA designation viewed as a strong asset. Success in this role requires the ability to independently form and articulate risk-based opinions, navigate complex discussions with leaders who may be more senior in their subject-matter expertise, and provide thoughtful oversight of financial controls, governance, and remediation efforts. This is an excellent opportunity for a seasoned professional looking to deepen their expertise in operational risk within the Finance function while gaining broad organizational exposure and leadership visibility." Then we can add the About Us paragraph: "At BMO we are driven by a shared Purpose: Boldly Grow the Good in business and life. It calls on us to create lasting, positive change for our customers, our communities and our people. By working together, innovating and pushing boundaries, we transform lives and businesses, and power economic growth around the world.

We could also include the link to jobs.bmo.com/us/en but that's maybe navigation; but it's part of About Us. Might keep as plain text. Now we must not include application instructions like "To view more details of our benefits, please visit: https://jobs.bmo.com/global/en/Total-Rewards". That's a link but it's part of benefits description; we can keep the sentence but maybe it's okay. It's not application instruction; it's benefits info. We'll keep. Now we need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate like EEO etc. We'll cut those out. Now produce HTML fragment:
