Risk Analyst Jobs in California

A Risk Analyst in the banking industry identifies and analyses potential risks that could negatively impact the financial performance and reputation of the bank. They use their analytical skills to examine market trends, regulatory frameworks, economic data and the bank's business strategies to assess potential risks. These risks could come from diverse sources such as credit and market risk, operational risk, and regulatory risk. They produce risk reports and present their findings to the bank's management team and suggest ways to control, reduce, or prevent these risks. They also play a critical role in formulating risk management policies and processes.

For this role, a strong background in finance, economics, or statistics is usually required. Proficiency in statistical analysis software and data analysis is also critical. They should have good communication skills as they often need to present complex risk assessments to non-experts. Many employers prefer candidates with professional certifications such as the Financial Risk Manager (FRM) or the Professional Risk Manager (PRM). Before becoming a Risk Analyst, a person might have roles such as a Financial Analyst, Credit Analyst, or Data Analyst.
