I work in the Operations division of Goldman Sachs. I manage a team of ten business analysts and project managers who work on regulatory reporting. The team is responsible for the analysis and assessment of regulatory reports filed with external U.S. regulators, such as the SEC or the stock and options exchanges.

One of the most interesting aspects of my job is working with industry groups, such as the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA), to evaluate and lobby regulators to adjust rules to simplify compliance while also meeting the regulators’ needs. It’s great to be able to provide a “real world” operational perspective to the regulators.

Goldman Sachs provides opportunities for people to grow and take on more responsibility as quickly as they can demonstrate the capability to handle it. [see below] I was quickly provided with the opportunity to take on a leadership role in many initiatives that cut across functional groups.
