Goldman Sachs, Salt Lake City, Utah, United States, 84193


Global Compliance

Our division prevents, detects and mitigates compliance, regulatory and reputational risk across the firm and helps to strengthen the firm’s culture of compliance. Compliance accomplishes these through the firm’s enterprise-wide compliance risk management program. As an independent control function and part of the firm’s second line of defense, Compliance assesses the firm’s compliance, regulatory and reputational risk; monitors for compliance with new or amended laws, rules and regulations; designs and implements controls, policies, procedures and training; conducts independent testing; investigates, surveils and monitors for compliance risks and breaches; and leads the firm’s responses to regulatory examinations, audits and inquiries. You'll be part of a team with members from a wide range of academic and professional backgrounds, such as law, accounting, sales, and trading. We look for those who possess sound judgment, curiosity, and are able to adapt to a changing regulatory landscape.

The Role

Fighting financial crime is a crucial line of defense for Goldman Sachs. The Suspicious Activity Monitoring & Reporting (“SAMR”) Group within Financial Crime Compliance is looking for well-rounded professionals seeking to make an impact by protecting the firm against various forms of financial crime risk including money laundering, bribery, corruption, tax evasion, etc.

Specifically, SAMR Risk & Advisory is looking for professionals with FCC experience to assist with key functions and responsibilities in one of three main areas – namely, Standards, Advisory, and the Financial Intelligence Unit. Each function is a separate team dedicated to assist with the overall mandate of SAMR.

Standards is a group that implements policies and procedures, oversees quality processes, interfaces with assurance groups, coordinates issue management and corrective actions, and establishes resource management strategies.

Advisory is a group that performs oversight and monitoring of processes in which SAMR relies on another group within the firm such as Treasury or Operations, interfaces with other FCC teams to provide surveillance and/or system feedback and user acceptance testing and develops tactical solutions through end user computing tools to enhance program effectiveness and efficiency.

The Financial Intelligence Unit is a group that serves as the measurement analysis and reporting interface for the SAMR organization with consumers of relevant information across FCC as well as the risk analysis function for emerging risks in the FCC program.
