What You’ll Do

The EMESA compliance function forms part of BCG’s Risk Management and Compliance team. The Compliance team provides steering and oversight on critical compliance topics that anchor how we all support each other, our clients, and run our business – with policies, processes, and systems which we continuously improve.

This is a generalist compliance role that will involve supporting compliance advisory, training, communications, reporting, and procedural tasks under guidance, relating to the systems within EMESA. The role will support and contribute to a variety of compliance tasks and projects to help achieve effective compliance outcomes and efficiencies, for topics such as, but not limited to, the clients and topics we take on, bribery and corruption, insider trading, conflicts of interest, third‑party risk, and information management.

• Support operational tasks related to compliance training and communication exercises.
• Receive compliance‑related information and management information (MI) from business stakeholders or the Global Compliance team and accurately collate, format, and maintain data in standardised reports.
• Assist with compliance risk identification and reporting by collecting data, performing basic analysis, and documenting findings.
• Support bottom‑up compliance risk identification exercises, including aggregating inputs and preparing draft analyses and reports for review.
