OUR IMPACT 

The Office of Regulatory Relations (ORR) protects the firm's regulatory reputation by managing its relationships with regulators and enhancing the firm's overall regulatory compliance. We set standards for all regulatory interactions at the firm, lead the firm’s responses to regulatory examinations, audits and inquiries and oversee certain areas of enhancement. 

ORR works closely with Global Compliance who prevents, detects and mitigates compliance, regulatory and reputational risks across the firm and helps to strengthen the firm’s culture of compliance. As an independent control function and part of the firm’s second line of defence, Compliance assesses the firm’s compliance, regulatory and reputational risks; 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.

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.
