- Support commercial teams in positioning differentiated capabilities in the market
Market Evangelism & Thought Leadership
- Act as a visible advocate for Presight’s direction in AI-enabled risk, regulatory technology, and enterprise governance
- Monitor regulatory developments, supervisory expectations, and emerging risk trends (e.g., AI governance, data privacy, operational resilience)
- Develop thought leadership content, client briefings, and executive-level insights
- Represent Presight in industry forums, client roundtables, and strategic engagements
Governance & Risk Expertise
- Provide subject matter expertise across enterprise risk management, regulatory compliance, and governance
- Translate regulatory requirements into clear business, functional, and technical requirements
- Advise on design of controls, monitoring frameworks, and governance structures within client environments
- Ensure solutions align with QHSE (Quality Health Safety and Environment), Business Continuity, Information Security, Privacy, Risk, and Governance policies and standards
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Business, Information Systems, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field combining business and technology.
- 8–12+ years of experience in Financial Services or other regulated industries, with exposure to both business and technology domains
- Strong background in risk management, regulatory compliance, governance, or regulatory technology (RegTech)
- Proven experience in client-facing advisory or consulting roles
- Demonstrated ability to shape solutions that bridge regulatory requirements and technology implementation
- Strong understanding of enterprise risk frameworks and regulatory environments (banking, insurance, capital markets, or similar)
- Experience working with senior stakeholders (CRO, CCO, CIO, CTO, Heads of Risk/Compliance)
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in product strategy, solution architecture, or transformation programs within FSI
- Exposure to AI, advanced analytics, data governance, cybersecurity, or digital transformation initiatives
