I’m new to thia bank and trying to understand how the risk organization is structured here.
On my current project, I’m the only Product person, but I have six different risk people reaching out to me—often asking very similar questions with what seem to be overlapping responsibilities.
I’m genuinely trying to understand the rationale. If I’m the sole Product person supporting the program, why isn’t there one primary Risk lead who owns the overall program and coordinates the different risk functions?
Coming from other banking organizations, this setup feels very different. I’m curious if anyone else has experienced this or can explain why banks structure Risk this way. Is there a specific regulatory or organizational reason for having so many separate Risk contacts?
And honestly, from the outside, it can feel like a pretty cushy setup when one Product person is coordinating with six different Risk people.
