Morgan Stanley Looking For Associate – Operational Risk (Risk Management) at Mumbai Full Time

Position

The Operational Risk Department is seeking an Associate to contribute to a number of innovative projects utilizing semantics, natural language processing, machine learning, and other cutting edge technological approaches. This is an opportunity to learn about and contribute to the next generation of risk technology.

This is essential because in today’s increasingly interconnected business environment, Operational Risk cannot be thoroughly assessed or managed without a holistic view of both individual data points and complex interdependencies. For example, a person cannot thoroughly understand the risks associated with a process or application without understanding process dependencies, the broader technology ecosystem in which a given application operates, and relationships between processes and applications. In most cases, the volumes of data are such that manually performing this type of assessment is not feasible or scalable, and hence smarter technology is needed to assist.

The selected candidate would fill a key role and have the opportunity to work closely with global business process owners, technology service providers, and key stakeholders across the Firm.

The primary responsibilities of the role include:

1. Manage the development and maintenance of the strategic program roadmap, project plans and milestones for the Semantics and Ontology program
2. Lead the documentation, tracking, and management of use cases and business requirements for ORD Semantics and Ontology projects. Requirements will cover such areas as user interfaces and workflows, data management, and application performance and availability
3. Collaborate with ORD stakeholders and ontology modelers to understand the central concepts and relationships in their domain
4. Manage the implementation of reports for data validation checks using established standards and queries
5. Contribute to the stories and end user requirements focused on the development of Machine Learning algorithms and customized rules to tune the Natural Language Processing pipeline built on top of the ORD Data Management infrastructure.
6. Lead user acceptance testing of semantic applications to identify issues and verify that requirements are satisfied prior to release
7. Manage multiple initiatives enabling on-time delivery and the right level of quality
8. Ensure the team executes against plan and reports status / escalates challenges and issues
9. Lead project working groups, workshops, and meetings
10. Participate in IT sprint planning sessions and lead project prioritization sessions
11. Provide pre and post implementation support, including training material

The ideal candidate would have experience:

1. At least 5 years of experience within the financial services industry, or similar industries that are subject to comparable regulatory and legal considerations
2. Experience managing or working on agile development projects, with an understanding of core development process functions such as requirements development, recurring prioritization and feedback, and user acceptance testing
3. Experience with managing projects related to data architecture, data science, business intelligence, data or information governance/management, information systems
4. Ability to create user stories / business requirements and test cases
5. Ability to collaborate and work independently as well as part of team
6. Attention to detail and excellent problem-solving skills
7. Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, and an ability to present ideas concisely and persuasively
8. Capable of communicating clearly and concisely to various levels of audiences across both the business and IT
9. MS Excel, PowerPoint, and Visio skills

Additional Desirable Skills

1. Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.
2. Excellent interpersonal skills, including the ability to work as part of a team and delegate tasks.
3. Must be a self-starter and highly organized; attention to detail a must.
4. Excellent analytical skills required.
