Investment Banking Compliance Attorney
Are you a law firm attorney who likes the salary but wants a better lifestyle and more options? If you have experience in corporate finance, investment banking, syndicate, and/or underwriting, consider moving in-house to a global investment bank in a compliance and legal role. Compliance is a very hot field with great compensation and provides more lateral (including moving to the business side) and growth options than the partner track at a law firm. Not to mention, no billable hours.

- proactive management and resolution of regulatory matters relating to Equity Syndicate activities,

- global coordination with other Investment Banking Division (IBD) Syndicate Compliance officers regarding:
• compliance-related advice and effective solutions for evolving business needs,
• regulatory requirements, interactions and trends,
• enhancements to firm policies, procedures and compliance controls,
• testing and monitoring of effectiveness of compliance controls, and
• development and implementation of training initiatives,
- frequent interaction with the Compliance Control Room and Equities Compliance,
- global coordination with business, infrastructure and affiliate partners to ensure effective development, implementation and application of compliance-related initiatives.
Qualifications:
• 4-year undergraduate degree or equivalent

• Experience working within a global banking institution
• Thorough understanding of U.S. securities laws and regulations relating to securities offerings and syndicated underwriting activities, including the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and FINRA regulatory and filing requirements
