You will carry out diligence on clients to inform decision making on who the firm serves. In doing so, you will have responsibility for identifying, clearing and where appropriate escalating red flags. While the role is global, your focus will be primarily be on the Americas region.
You will play an important role in evolving and ensuring the efficiency and effectiveness of the firm’s diligence processes in a globally consistent way while also supporting efforts to ensure compliance with relevant firm policies, systems, and processes.
In carrying our diligence on prospective new clients, you will synthesize multiple sources of data, both internal and external to the firm, to provide actionable guidance, help navigate uncertainty, and identify ways to mitigate risk. This will often involve the development and delivery of contextualized reports to firm colleagues, and collaboration as necessary to secure additional expert input to inform due diligence discussions and fill gaps in knowledge. You will be responsible for the diligence research, data synthesis, and reporting with the support and guidance of more senior team members.
Over time, you will be expected to inform decision making through an increasingly nuanced understanding of economic, geographic, and political issues that impact on the firm’s engagements, and to serve as a valued source of advice on relevant approaches and levels of diligence for specific sectors and clients.
