More info of "Risk" at a investment bank

So, I have applied to different spring insights and I chose risk as first choice at many because it seemed fun and my school has some courses in risk analysis. However, now I started to get curious what a actual "risk guy" (not sure if its called risk analyst or risk manager) actually does and which models that "guy" uses. For instance DCF calculation does a risk guy do that? Or what calculations and what things does a risk guy at a bank like Citi, Morgan Stanley or similar do on a everyday basis? And which models are used?

Additionally, anyone have any good websites with info about this. Please link!
