You will play a key role in identifying, assessing, monitoring, and reporting on significant non-financial risks, working closely with business lines, process owners, and the Senior Leadership Team.

• Cyber Risk Management: Collaborate with the TMX Information Security Office and key stakeholders to maintain a comprehensive view of cyber risks impacting Post-Trade by tracking emerging threats, monitoring incidents, and embedding cybersecurity considerations into broader non-financial risk programs like TPRM.
