Minato Goldman Sachs

Compliance, Regulatory Practice Group, Vice President (Tokyo)

Responsibilities

The RPG team for Tokyo coordinates, on behalf of Goldman Sachs, responses to requests for information received by the firm from Japanese regulators. The team also periodically responds to requests for information from foreign regulators. The majority of requests handled by RPG seek to test and/or confirm Goldman Sachs' compliance with the laws and regulations applicable to its many businesses.

As the liaison between the firm and its regulators on matters of regulatory compliance, RPG team members work closely with business, engineering, operations, risk, compliance and legal teams throughout the firm. Working with and advising these stakeholders, RPG is responsible for helping ensure that the firm manages, and responds to, regulatory inquiries, examinations and other requests for information in a manner that meets our regulators' requirements and expectations. Accuracy, timeliness, organization and efficiency are essential.

In the course of their work, a Vice President on the RPG Tokyo team will, among other responsibilities: (i) research applicable rules and interpretive guidance, (ii) form and coordinate working groups of relevant firm personnel, (iii) interface with regulators regarding information requests and the firm's responses, (iv) conduct informational interviews and gather responsive documentation, (v) prepare written responses to information requests, (vi) coordinate in-person/web-based meetings with regulators, (vii) advise internal stakeholders on regulators' expectations and prior firm interactions, (viii) manage a docket of multiple regulatory matters (both inquiries and exams), (ix) monitor the firm's progress in completing undertakings made to regulators during the course of inquiries and exams, (x) keep detailed records of regulatory correspondence, (xi) advise firm stakeholders on potential enhancements to firm processes and controls identified during the course of regulatory interactions, xii) handles regulatory filing, xiii) develop applications for regulatory inquiries (trade inquiries) with Technology, and xiv) work on matters associated with Compliance Regulatory Affairs and Resources, which RPG belongs to within Tokyo office.

RPG team members attach importance to in-person learning and connectivity, and accordingly, this is an in-office role at the firm's Tokyo office, not a remote position.

An RPG Vice President must have the ability to:

  • Leverage strong communication and relationship-building skills in frequent interaction with other areas of the firm and regulators;

  • Identify and recommend potential corrective actions to address regulatory issues surfaced during the course of exams and inquiries;
  • Organize and maintain large quantities of data and documentation in a dynamic environment;
  • Be unfailingly detail-oriented, so as to consistently produce accurate work product;
