Regulatory Affairs jobs in United States

Our Regulatory & Risk Advisory Graduate programme is designed to give you the experience and core consulting skills you need to get your career off to a flying start. You'll build your commercial understanding and business acumen to deliver real value to our clients straight away.

The work is not only interesting and varied, but it's also high profile. With the current economic climate and in a world of increasing complexity, clients and Regulators are focusing ever more closely on risk and regulatory issues.

You can expect to work in the following areas:

• Modelling and Model Risk Management: Model Risk is the potential for adverse outputs/outcomes from errors in business and financial models and inappropriate model use. Working with clients on their model development, validation and overall governance, you will also get the opportunity to learn coding languages as you support clients in a number of areas such as climate risk modelling and credit risk modelling.
• Financial Risk and Resilience: Support our clients across critical areas of prudential regulatory, ESG and insurance risks. This team of market leading experts provide services like assurance, deal support, and optimisation across critical board level topics.
• Wholesale: Work with a broad range of wholesale clients helping them to tackle a variety of challenges such as wholesale conduct risk, risk transformation, Internal controls and Non-financial reporting regulation.
• Retail: In retail, your focus will be on retail clients. You could be involved in conduct and consumer protection, operational resilience and CASS. Client organisations vary, from global asset managers with operations in multiple jurisdictions to insurance clients to clients in the banking sector.

Our three-year programme gives you the chance to build your experience and develop your expertise in Risk management across the entire financial sector, as part of our 'learn for a lifetime' philosophy.

With the support of our learning community, you’ll work toward a professional qualification, the Financial Risk Manager (FRM) certification.

You will be working across multiple teams that advise clients on dynamic regulatory compliance programmes and help them to integrate sustainability into Risk management functions to ensure they are doing right by the environment and society.

You’ll also be helping our clients solve business problems by developing tailored and pragmatic solutions. It’s an endlessly fascinating area for our new graduate joiners where you can make a meaningful and positive difference.
