Head of Risk Malaysia and Thailand

At AIG, we are reimagining the way we help customers to manage risk. Join us as a Head of Risk Malaysia and Thailand to play your part in that transformation. It’s an opportunity to grow your skills and experience as a valued member of the team.

Make your mark in Enterprise Risk Management

The Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) team partners across the AIG organization, facilitating rational risk-taking that drives profitable growth. ERM is responsible for ensuring that our organization has the right tools, processes, and systems in place to identify, measure and manage these risks. The team plays a critical role in strategic decisions about where to expand or contract businesses, where to invest to collect premiums that are enough to cover future claims, and how much capital we need to reserve to weather unexpected events. It also helps the enterprise to develop effective controls that support the successful execution of organizational strategy.

As an ERM colleague, you will shape and support how AIG manages its risks. Your knowledge about the company’s risks will shape the daily decision-making among AIG’s businesses and functions, while informing our clients and the markets that we serve. You will also have the opportunity to enhance your risk and business acumen as we continue to navigate an ever-changing risk environment.

ERM advocates a healthy risk culture, encouraging our diverse colleagues to speak up when we spot something that fosters risk so that we can address it effectively.
