Governance Reporting & Analysis: Governance Coordinator - VP

The Client Organization was established to drive enterprise-wide approaches to client coverage, identifying and filling in gaps or reducing duplication to ensure consistency throughout the firm. Additionally, it plays a leading role coordinating the allocation of capital and other financial, technology and human resources towards the client segments with the best returns potential. Finally, it is responsible for managing wholesale credit and counterparty risk for the organization. The Client Organization operates across 40+ jurisdictions globally.
