This position is on the Supervision Support Office (SSO) team in the Division of Supervision & Regulation.

The SSO team serves as the strategic coordination hub for the division’s Supervision Group. We work closely with the supervisory portfolios, which are organized by the size and type of institution that they oversee, on supervisory matters, including information products, supervision policy and program development, and analysis that spans multiple portfolios. The team supports the conduct of supervisory activities across the Federal Reserve System by supporting or developing supervisory policy and regulation and program expectations, including supporting technology tools. The team also coordinates on supervisory matters across portfolios and creates cross-portfolio information products. Our team engages with many sections and levels of staff and senior leaders within the Board Supervision and Regulation Division and Federal Reserve Banks. We also serve as primary liaison between the Board’s Supervision and Policy Groups, coordinating supervisory input to inform policy development and leading policy implementation across portfolios. The SSO team works closely with colleagues in the division’s Business Enablement Group in gathering, analyzing, and reporting on supervision metrics. Additionally, the team engages with other individuals in the division’s Financial Research, Risk, and Applications Group on risk analysis, dissemination, and actions needed.

This role offers unique exposure for an early-career position, where the analyst will contribute to materials that reach the most senior leadership at the Board, develop a view across the entire supervisory landscape, and support the implementation of Board leadership’s priorities across the portfolios.

Responsibilities:

• Contribute to high-priority, high-profile requests from the Vice Chair for Supervision, Division Director of Supervision and Deputy Director of Supervision, such as briefing memos, talking points, and testimony materials.
• Produce analytical products that draw together data and perspectives from multiple supervisory portfolios, including ad-hoc queries and analysis to respond to requests from senior leadership.
• Support SSO’s role as the primary supervision liaison with the Policy Group by helping to gather, synthesize, and document supervisory input that informs policy development.
• Assist in representing supervision’s business needs for supervisory technology platforms and initiatives, including supporting the development of guidance and training materials.
• Support crisis response efforts for the supervisory portfolios, helping to prepare information for senior management and Board principals in collaboration with other groups in the division.
• Compile, review, and present data from supervisory systems and reporting platforms, producing recurring reporting products and flagging trends or anomalies for further review.

Preferred qualifications:

• Strong intellectual curiosity and critical thinking skills, with the ability to work comfortably both in areas of existing expertise and in unfamiliar topics, issues, and challenges.
• Strong written and verbal communications skills, and experience producing or ability to learn to produce work products such as talking points, briefing memos, and reports with quick turnaround times without the aid of artificial intelligence (AI).
• Strong collaboration skills, including engaging stakeholders, keeping them involved as work evolves, and building a network across the supervision community.
• Strong organizational and project management skills, with the flexibility to manage competing priorities, and to adapt as circumstances change and work requires rework or a shift in direction.
• Strong attention to detail, thoroughness, resourcefulness, and creativity.
• Familiarity with, or interest in learning, supervisory data systems and reporting platforms.
