Risk & Compliance

Client Service Compliance Specialist

In this role, you will carry out due diligence on new clients, third parties, and partnering firms.

Who You'll Work With

You will be based in a McKinsey office in the US or Europe, supporting the Regulatory team within the Client Service Compliance Center of Excellence (CoE).
In this role, you will report to the director of the CoE. You will also be a member of McKinsey’s Ethics & Compliance (E&C) group, whose mission is to enable McKinsey’s client impact and innovation, while managing risks to the firm, our clients, and our people. The E&C function is a globally integrated team within the second line of defense of the firm.

What You'll Do

Your research will inform decision making on who the firm serves and who it partners with to carry out its work. You will also assist in the sanction screening process for all counterparties the firm interacts with. You will provide subject-matter expertise and support related to OFAC and other country sanctions programs, as well as U.S. export control laws and regulations. In doing so, you will be responsible for identifying, clearing and (where appropriate) escalating potential issues to mitigate risk to the firm.
You will serve as an in-house expert on sanctions and regulatory risks and play an important role in further developing the CoE’s capacity to effectively analyze those risks. You will work autonomously on diligence and regulatory cases/alerts, knowing when to seek advice and counsel from colleagues. You will collaborate with Client Service Risk colleagues to brief findings on matters requiring higher-level risk reviews. You will also inform decision making through a nuanced understanding of regulatory, economic, geographic, and political issues that impact the firm’s engagements.
You will perform compliance reviews and investigations, identify sanctions, regulatory, and reputational risks or concerns, and propose remediation solutions. You will conduct media and database research using complex search criteria and following a strict methodology within short timeframes with minimal oversight.
You will support onboarding and continuous monitoring requirements, assessing various types of local public record information in your respective region. You will then analyze search results within the context of the engagement and the relevant country. You will distil conclusions and identify indirect connections from research findings. You will then draft reports that assess complex and higher risk issues to inform decision making by senior stakeholders.
You will play an important role in evolving and ensuring the effectiveness of the firm’s diligence/screening processes globally, while also supporting efforts to ensure compliance with relevant firm policies, systems and processes. In this capacity, you will also help to develop and refine regional research methodologies.
In addition, you will support compliance initiatives, including policy and procedural refinements and workstreams, to continually improve the firm’s capabilities. And finally, you will train and develop more junior colleagues on assessing and analyzing regional risk issues.
