Bank of America

Bank of America (www.bankofamerica.com) is one of the world's largest financial institutions, serving individual consumers, small businesses and large corporations with a full range of banking, investing, asset management and other financial and risk-management products and services.

Associate Position in Business Selection & Conflicts Group

The Business Selection & Conflicts Group (BSC) is the first point of contact within Investment Banking on potential new business mandates as well as queries regarding ongoing transactions. BSC clears all new potential business mandates to confirm potential conflicts of interest are anticipated, identified, and managed and monitors mandates on an ongoing basis to appropriately manage potential conflicts of interest. BSC drives decision making on business selection issues to ensure the firm is committing to the most attractive opportunities. In addition, BSC provides a central hub of information for current and historic involvement in transactions.

BSC is a global group based in New York, London and Hong Kong that interacts on a daily basis within investment bankers as well as with various functions within Investment Banking (legal, compliance, finance, business operations). Since all new investment banking mandates must be analyzed by BSC before they are accepted by the firm, the group works in a very demanding, time sensitive environment.

The BSC Associate position is based in New York. The position primarily will be responsible for assisting in the conflict clearance process, interacting frequently with investment bankers globally as well as internal support partners. Candidates should have strong analytical skills, an unyielding attention to detail, enthusiasm about learning the business, and ability to work effectively with a team.
