• An interest in financial services, investment funds, regulation, compliance or risk management. Prior industry experience is helpful but not required.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with fluency in English. Additional European languages would be an advantage.
• A strong fit with the firm’s cultural tenets of inclusivity, collaboration, accountability and collegiality.
