  • Takes initiative and is a high performer -  You are driven to be the best.  You own tasks to the end and challenge yourself by setting goals, crushing them, and helping your teammates do the same.
  • Have great communication skills - Not only are you articulate when verbally communicating but you can get the message through in a written format.  You also provide alternatives for peers when there is no way possible to compromise regulation requirements.

  • Investment Securities Experience - You are organized, understand investment terminology and regulatory requirements.  You understand the importance of creating a culture of compliance by interacting with other departments to ensure the firm is compliant with FINRA requirements and maintaining firm integrity.

What you’ll do all day:

  • Compliance liaison - Provide general regulatory and other compliance-related updates to ensure continued rule compliance for many business lines.
  • Participate in continuous improvement projects with various teams - You will interact with Operation groups and other business units by providing guidance on day-to-day compliance functions to ensure ongoing awareness with regulatory updates and changes.
  • Investigate regulatory inquires - One of your primary objectives will be to actively participate in responding to various types of regulatory inquires and participating in regulatory examinations.
