If this sounds like you, you’ve come to the right place.

Your Impact

You will play a key role in enhancing and driving firm-wide Ethics & Compliance capabilities by actively contributing to the strategy and operations of our Ethics & Integrity team. You will lead our Ethics and Integrity activities, to reflect the high professional standards across our firm’s policies, guidelines, procedures, and Code of Conduct. You will support clear articulation of our ethics obligations to various stakeholders and ensuring we refine and adjust our approaches and frameworks to enable an effective and comprehensive program.

You will lead initiatives to infuse integrity into our firm's recruiting, training, way we work, evaluation, disclosures, and promotion processes.

You will translate abstract ethical principles into concrete behavioral expectations and assessment criteria, developing ethical competencies and integrating integrity considerations into existing performance management framework.

You will design and implement measurement frameworks to assess culture change effectiveness, establishing baseline, tracking progress, and iterating approaches based on both qualitative and quantitative data.

This work will help strengthen the firm’s global Ethics and Integrity program by refining strategy, operational frameworks, and ethical competencies to ensure consistently high standards, embed integrity across all policies and practices, and measure culture change so that ethical principles are translated into impactful actions throughout the organization.
