**3) Business Risk Advisory**

- Act as a trusted advisor to senior leadership and business units on operational risk matters, including emerging risks, regulatory changes, and industry trends.
- Drive education and training programs to elevate operational risk awareness and capabilities across the organisation.
- Collaborate with product, client, and technology teams to ensure operational risk considerations are integrated into new initiatives, system changes, and major projects.

**4) Oversight and Monitoring**
