Operational Risk Manager Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a operational risk manager in New York?
The most direct path is a bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, economics, or a related quantitative field followed by entry-level work in audit, compliance, or credit risk at a New York financial institution. Operational risk management is not state-licensed in New York, but the Financial Risk Manager credential issued by the Global Association of Risk Professionals is the industry's most recognized qualification and carries significant weight with New York employers across banking, insurance, and asset management.
How much do operational risk managers make in New York?
Operational risk managers in New York earn a median of about $136,830 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $84,550 for the lowest 10% to over $220,260 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire operational risk managers in New York?
Employers hiring operational risk managers in New York right now include Amazon, Brookfield Renewable, and CVS Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. New York's density of global bank headquarters, insurance carriers, and asset managers means demand is consistent across the full seniority range, from associate-level roles to managing director positions overseeing enterprise-wide risk frameworks.
Which New York cities have the most operational risk manager jobs?
New York, Dunkirk, and Rochester account for the largest share of operational risk manager openings in New York. Manhattan dominates because it is home to the U.S. headquarters of major global banks, investment firms, and insurance carriers, while Jersey City and White Plains reflect the back-office and regional operations that large financial institutions have built outside the Manhattan core.
Are there remote operational risk manager jobs in New York?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 23% of operational risk manager openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, reflecting the desk-based and analytical nature of the work. Roles focused on framework development, policy writing, and risk reporting tend to be the most remote-friendly, while positions requiring close coordination with trading desks or regulatory examiners typically expect regular in-office presence.
How can I get hired as a operational risk manager in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry point is a rotational analyst program at a large New York bank or insurance carrier, where programs at institutions like Citigroup, MetLife, and Morgan Stanley rotate new graduates through risk, compliance, and audit functions. Lateral moves from internal audit, credit analysis, or financial control are common and well-regarded. Completing the FRM Part I exam before applying signals commitment and gives candidates without deep experience a concrete credential that New York hiring managers recognize.
Where can I find and apply to operational risk manager jobs in New York?
You can find and apply to operational risk manager jobs in New York on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across Manhattan, Jersey City, White Plains, and other parts of the state. Find roles that fit your experience and seniority level and apply directly to the employers posting them.
