Risk Management Specialist Jobs in Georgia

A Risk Management Specialist in the finance industry is responsible for identifying, analyzing, and mitigating potential risks that could negatively impact an organization's financial and operational effectiveness. They develop risk management processes and policies, ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, and provide risk-related advice to senior management. Their work involves continuous oversight of financial transactions, investment strategies and market trends to identify potential issues early, enabling proactive risk management.
