Our E&C program includes a clear message that misconduct is not tolerated as well as policies, procedures, training, monitoring and consequence management to ensure the program is well-integrated into the firm’s operations and workforce. This opportunity works in the Ethics pillar, which is responsible for instilling trust by amplifying integrity and effectively managing concerns. This role reports to the Director of Ethics, Allegations Management.

You will leverage your expertise to drive content recommendations for changes to firm policies, standards, and training based upon the insights you gain from data and benchmarking.
To support the Allegations Management program, you will implement data, technology and tooling capabilities to enable visible and optimal data quality, appropriate use of analytics and use of a unified set of reporting systems and tools.
You will develop solutions tailored to the unique needs of our firm and the expectations of regulators, and you will be expected to collaborate and align with a varied set of stakeholders across all firm functions (Legal, Internal Audit, Finance & HR).
You will be given latitude to drive and own relevant organizational, operational, or strategic Ethics initiatives and engage in collaborative partnership with other Ethics & Compliance colleagues and stakeholders.
Finally, you will play a critical role in sustaining and evolving our E&C program and upholding our commitment to integrity and lawful practices.
