NOTE: This position is expected to be filled by promotion/reassignment and is included here to inform you of its vacancy at the University.
At UBC, we believe that attracting and sustaining a diverse workforce is key to the successful pursuit of excellence in research, innovation, and learning for all faculty, staff and students. Our commitment to employment equity helps achieve inclusion and fairness, brings rich diversity to UBC as a workplace, and creates the necessary conditions for a rewarding career.
Job Description Summary
UBC has appointed a Chief Assurance & Risk Officer with the mandate to create a strategic unit that is sought after for advice and counsel by organizational leaders across both campuses. The Chief Assurance and Risk Officer oversees the previously separate functions of Internal Audit and Enterprise Risk Management - now called the Office of Enterprise Risk and Assurance (ERA).
ERAs purpose is to partner with the community to provide trusted and impactful risk and assurance insights to enhance and protect UBC as a thriving institution. The scope and nature of the internal audit function has expanded from a traditional department primarily focusing on financial risks, to a risk-based progressive function covering a large spectrum of risks and key strategic initiatives. The internal audit function has been renamed to "Internal Assurance" to reflect its broadened and elevated mandate; however, the discipline of internal audit remains embedded into all of our assurance activities. ERA aims to deliver an enterprise risk management framework that the University will integrate with its strategy-setting and operational activities to assist institutional leaders and their teams in managing risk through creating and preserving value. Moreover, the department is expected to provide independent, objective assurance and consulting activities designed to add value and improve the University s operations.
This position plays a key role in enhancing the University s accountability mechanisms in support of the University s strategic objectives, by evaluating systems and related risks and controls.
Organizational Status
The Senior Manager reports to the Executive Director, Internal Assurance and works collaboratively with the (ERA) Leadership team in supporting the Executive Team and the Board in achieving the University s mission and discharging their fiduciary responsibilities.
The Senior Manager interacts directly with senior stakeholders such as Faculty Deans, Unit Heads and Directors, as well as supervisory and other staff. Since assignments frequently involve access to confidential information, this position must use tact in obtaining and safeguarding information and professional judgment in maintaining confidentiality.
The Senior Manager may at times manage a small team of assurance and risk professionals. Acts as a project leader and provides expert guidance / facilitation on the risk assessment and assurance process on complex assignments and initiatives. The position interfaces with all University processes, systems and departments and interacts regularly with all levels of management
