Compliance, Financial Crime Controls, Vice President...

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.

Financial Crime Compliance ("FCC") coordinates Goldman Sachs' enterprise-wide anti-money laundering ("AML"), economic sanctions, anti-bribery compliance and conduct and integrity programs. The combined FCC team, which is composed of professionals with extensive law enforcement, regulatory, legal, compliance, forensic consulting, operations and business experience, administers an array of surveillances, due diligence, investigative expertise and other control processes designed to identify potential money laundering, terrorist financing, bribery, securities fraud and other violations of law or conduct expectations.

The FCC team is seeking a Vice-President to lead its function in Dublin, Ireland. As an experienced leader and manager, the successful candidate will have responsibility for the structuring, implementation and management of the Goldman Sachs FCC program in Dublin by performing day-to-day oversight of the firm's activities and frontline personnel from an advisory and regulatory perspective, in addition to managing FCC in Dublin.
