Along with many of the University's core departments, the Global Risk Office is based at Stanford's Redwood City campus, featuring state-of-the-art buildings, a recreation and fitness center, dining pavilion, and central Bay Area location, five miles away from the historical Stanford campus.

This Opportunity

Stanford's Global Risk Office, a high-profile team situated within the Office of the Chief Risk Officer, is one of the few departments with University-wide purview. Team members gain a broad enterprise perspective, assist in a wide variety of activities, and make meaningful contributions on a daily basis. Global Risk functions are complex and have a significant business impact on Stanford's core mission of teaching, learning and research.
