The Team: Upstart's Risk team is building its second line of defense function in support of its application to establish Upstart Bank, N.A., a de novo national bank. The Risk team is responsible for Upstart's enterprise risk management program and risk governance, and for providing independent oversight and credible challenge across all core risk categories — including Treasury risk (liquidity and funding risk, interest rate risk, price risk, and capital management), operational risk, technology and information security risk, and compliance risk.
