Manager, Risk Assessment & Controls

Description

Global Risk Solutions writes business in more than 20 countries, and the controls behind that business have to hold up everywhere. This role owns a meaningful piece of how we prove they do and how we keep proving it faster, using the AI tools now built into the way our team works. This is a role for someone who genuinely likes both halves of controls work: the analytical half, where you dig into a process and find the gap nobody else noticed, and the influencing half, where you bring a business owner along without owning their process or their decision.

You'll partner with underwriting, claims, compliance and finance leaders across North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia Pacific  and with external program partners, where you'll often be the Liberty Mutual voice in the room.

The opportunity

You'll help lead how GRS assures and strengthens its control environment worldwide driving the resolution of audit findings, elevating the quality of account reconciliations, building attestation programs from the ground up, and leading controls audits of our program partners. Alongside all of it, you'll bring a builder's mindset to how the work itself gets done: using GenAI to take on the mechanical lift so more of your time and your team's goes toward judgment, not formatting.  

Where you'll make an impact

Audit remediation & assurance Serve as GRS's connective tissue with Global Internal Audit — keeping findings, action plans and closure evidence moving toward resolution, and escalating where the risk warrants it.

Support the external audit process
- Coordinating request, resolving open items with external auditor on a timely basis. Controls & attestation quality  Raise the bar on the controls framework across GRS strengthening account reconciliations and attestation coverage across entities and extending that same rigor to every project and initiative the business takes on. Turn documentation, process gaps and structural weaknesses into durable fixes.  Program partner oversight  Plan and lead controls audits of external program partners, testing what they report against what actually happens and following up until remediation is real.  

AI-augmented analysis

Put GenAI to work on reshaping data, drafting first-pass analysis and getting up to speed on technical findings quickly then build repeatable AI workflows the rest of the team can use too.  People leadership

Coach and develop team members, including across significant time-zone gaps, building their judgment so they can make sound calls independently.
Built around AI, not bolted on Liberty Mutual is investing heavily in AI across the enterprise, and GRS Financial Controls is one of the places that shift shows up first. This role sits right at that intersection: you'll use GenAI to compress the time spent on mechanical work reshaping files, comparing narratives across entities, drafting the first version of an observation and apply the time you get back to the calls that actually need a human.

You'll also help set the pattern for the rest of the team, turning one-off prompts into repeatable processes others can pick up and trust.
