• Act with urgency and sound judgment as the liaison between executives and Legal & Compliance, ensuring efficient issue triage, clear decisions, and seamless coordination across internal teams.
• Lead complex private investment reviews, applying strong fluency in private markets structures (e.g., funds, SPVs, co‑investments, consortiums, GP/LP roles) to assess conflicts and firm sensitivities.
• Provide expert oversight of personal trading activity, including pre‑clearance, managed accounts, exemptions, and escalations involving sensitive or market‑moving securities.
• Assess and help shape Control Room requirements, partnering closely with the Information Barriers team to enhance the firm’s conflicts of interest framework, strengthen oversight, and drive global consistency across public and private markets.
• Apply conflict-related policies across private investments, outside business activities, political contributions, gifts & entertainment, and personal trading, translating complexity into clear, practical guidance for senior leaders.
• Drive consistency, scalability, and continuous improvement across regions by partnering with Employee Compliance Policy and Operations programs on operating model design and program evolution, leveraging AI capabilities, automation, and redesigned workflows to reduce manual effort, enhance risk identification, and enable sustainable scale.
• Represent Executive Compliance in global initiatives and strategic projects, helping shape how the firm manages executive‑level risk in an increasingly complex regulatory and market environment.
