We recognize that our employees are our most valuable asset and that an investment in your well-being is a sound investment for everyone.
We understand that each of us will be faced with a personal problem in our lives. Such common difficulties may or may not impact our work lives, but will certainly affect the satisfaction in our lives. Most personal concerns can be resolved, or their effects minimized, through appropriate assistance. A counselor helps people work through concerns much like a coach helps an athlete improve through supportive, objective feedback and suggestions.
The Life Advisor Employee Assistance Program is a completely confidential, short-term counseling service, utilizing a practical approach toward problem resolution. Sometimes we are so close to a problem that it becomes hard to look at it, and therefore, we may have a difficult time identifying the solutions. Professional assistance can make the difference between a problem repeating itself, and resolving it for good the first time it occurs.

Operational Risk Manager Jobs in Michigan: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a operational risk manager in Michigan?
Most operational risk manager roles in Michigan require at least a bachelor's degree in finance, business, accounting, or a related field, with a master's degree preferred at larger institutions. There is no state-issued license specific to this role in Michigan, but employers strongly favor candidates holding the Financial Risk Manager credential from GARP or the Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control from ISACA. Starting in internal audit, compliance, or financial analysis at a Michigan bank, insurer, or manufacturer is the most common path into the role.
How much do operational risk managers make in Michigan?
Operational risk managers in Michigan earn a median of about $103,940 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $60,400 for the lowest 10% to over $165,410 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire operational risk managers in Michigan?
Employers hiring operational risk managers in Michigan right now include Augmentis, Kuehne+Nagel, and Guardian Industries, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Michigan's concentration of regional banks, insurance carriers, and large automotive corporations makes it one of the more consistent markets in the Midwest for this role.
Which Michigan cities have the most operational risk manager jobs?
Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Flint account for the largest share of operational risk manager openings in Michigan. Detroit leads due to its density of financial institutions, major insurance carriers, and corporate headquarters in the automotive sector, while Grand Rapids and Ann Arbor draw demand from regional banking, university-affiliated research organizations, and growing technology and healthcare employers.
Are there remote operational risk manager jobs in Michigan?
Yes, and more than most fields. Operational risk management is largely an analytical and advisory function that translates well to remote and hybrid arrangements. About 85% of operational risk manager openings tied to Michigan are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how normalized flexible work has become across Michigan's financial services and insurance sectors. Policy development, risk reporting, and framework governance are the functions most commonly performed fully remote.
How can I get hired as a operational risk manager in Michigan with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through a junior risk analyst, internal auditor, or compliance associate role at a Michigan bank or insurer, where you gain direct exposure to risk identification and control testing. Comerica, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, and several regional credit unions run rotational or associate development programs that include risk functions. Completing the CRISC or earning a risk-focused finance certification strengthens a candidate's profile considerably. Lateral moves from accounting, financial analysis, or IT audit within the same institution are also a well-established route.
