To support the Allegations Management program, you will develop and implement data, technology and tooling capabilities to ensure optimal data quality, appropriate use of analytics and use of a unified set of reporting systems and tools, this includes ensuring data quality monitoring and periodic sampling to support an effective control framework.

You will also drive continual enhancements of allegations management processes, including updates to policies or procedures, guidance and standard operating procedures.

Collaboration is a key aspect of this role. You will collaborate with a cross-functional and senior stakeholder group (e.g., Legal, HR, E&C) across the firm in a timely and efficient manner.

The E&C function is a globally integrated team within the second line of defense of the firm.

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 within the Ethics pillar, which is responsible for instilling trust by amplifying integrity and effectively managing concerns.
