**What we’re looking for**:

- Strong and effective verbal and written communication in English. Proficient with technology and systems
- Being comfortable with change and adjust to dynamically changing demands and requirements

**Why Us?**

The Compliance & Operational Risk (COR) team is at the core of Bank of America’s cultural values and a key component of our risk management discipline. The COR team mitigates against Compliance risk - the risk of legal or regulatory sanctions, material financial loss or damage to the reputation of the company arising from the failure of the company to comply with the requirements of jurisdictional laws, rules, regulations (LRRs); **_and_** Operational risk - the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems, or external events. Bank of America’s COR Program is the comprehensive set of systematic practices instituted by the company to ensure that applicable LRR requirements are being met and operational risk is being appropriately managed.

The COR team performs three primary roles: 1) being trusted partners to the front line, helping interpret written laws, rules and regulations (LRR) and regulatory expectations; 2) performing the “check and challenge” on the front line practices and processes to ensure the Bank is fully compliant at all times; 3) responding to regulatory or audit requests. The COR team is critical since it helps front line staff perform their role of generating business through a much wider lens that encompasses Bank of America’s risk appetite, leverages global best practices and focuses on responsible growth while doing it independently from the front lines. We are the “second pair of eyes” in sharing the core responsibility of mitigating regulatory, reputational, and other risks.

**What you’ll do**:

- Work with and learn from the Country COR team on matters and regulatory issues.
- Work with and learn from one or more Front Line Unit (FLU) Compliance teams - for example, Research/Corporate Banking and Advisory, Global Markets, Payment Services - on matters specific to these line/s of business, not only from a country perspective, but also from an Asia Pacific point of view.
- Work with and learn from one or more Enterprise Compliance teams - for example, Third Party Compliance, Financial Crimes etc - on matters that are relevant to the whole Enterprise, cutting across lines of business both regionally, and in some instances, globally.
- You will conduct data analysis, project management, policy analysis and research in an effort to build a strong GCOR holistic foundation & understanding. As part of this role, there will be constant engagement with multiple parties across Bank of America, including front-line leaders, regulators, legal, control functions etc.

**Program Overview**

As a full-time analyst, you will begin your career at Bank of America with an extensive training program. The program is a combination of classroom instruction, e-learning modules, case studies, and presentations. Throughout the program, you will have ample opportunities to work closely with professionals and peers throughout our organization. This is a great opportunity to build a network of colleagues from across the company that will prove to be a tremendous resource to you throughout your career.

This is a two-year rotational program within the COR function, involving Country, Line-of-Business, and Enterprise teams. Upon completion of the program, you will be placed into one of these teams on a permanent basis. The aim of this program is to provide a solid understanding of the core roles and responsibilities within the Global Risk Management function, while developing a broad range of skills applicable to COR.
