You will play a key role in building and driving our firm-wide Ethics program by managing strategic and operational initiatives for the Ethics pillar.
We have significantly increased the combined size of our internal Risk, Legal, and Ethics & Compliance functions by adding senior executive professionals with strong, diverse background and external experiences. We are continually improving these processes and capabilities, which includes this Ethics role. As part of the role, you will work directly with global People, Risk, Ethics & Compliance, and Legal colleagues to embed a consistent and resonant approach across our firm.
Your role is responsible for conducting fact-finding and pre-investigation of matters, collaborating with others on the investigations as the generalist or serving as the lead case manager for potential violations of our policies, Code of Conduct, or the law (client/supplier conflicts, FCPA, antitrust, finance-related, etc.) You will also contribute to the development of end-to-end enhancements within the case management process, such as the design and implementation of pre-investigation procedures and investigation protocols.
You will work directly with multiple stakeholders across the firm including People, Risk, and Legal colleagues, on investigations, questions or requests related to the Allegations Management program. This will include helping to identify key legal, regulatory & compliance matters throughout the lifecycle of a matter.
As part of your case management responsibilities, you will also monitor the end-to-end process of a matter, including tracking matter progress, helping to resolve open issues, and testing against internal and external standards, which will drive overall data management in systems for documentation, consistency, hygiene, reporting, and analysis purposes.
You will be responsible for ensuring oversight of capabilities, and visually presenting information for key audiences. You will research and document best practices for information sharing with the team, our collaborators, and other functions on the handling of data and operations.
You will support the firm’s mandatory disclosure processes on a cyclical and ad hoc basis. You will apply knowledge of policies and procedures to ensure our firm members are supported to disclose any potential individual conflicts and case manage any disclosures to completion. You will be responsible in developing a risk-based analysis, in partnership with subject matter experts, for reviews and remediation of disclosures.
You will assist in developing and evolving our technology and tools to enable our firm visibility and optimal data quality, ensuring we embed the needed tracking mechanisms and leverage a unified set of reporting systems and tools. You will also be expected to identify and leverage internal and external data to develop insights and compelling recommendations for our senior leaders on allegations management areas and corresponding policies.
You will work closely with other members of the Ethics & Compliance function and will be given latitude to drive and own relevant organizational, operational, or strategic initiatives of the Ethics team.
