GOLD INTERN PROGRAM OVERVIEW

GROUP/DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW

The Strategy, Risk + Analytics group shapes and communicates the overall Bank strategic direction, leads Bank-wide strategic planning efforts, advances the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) program, supports data-driven decision-making, and leads critical initiatives.  The group works closely with Bank and Group leadership to accelerate innovation across the Bank, and drive collaboration, efficiency and effectiveness in Bank operations.

POSITION/PROJECT OVERVIEW

The types of projects that the Strategy, Risk + Analytics group undertakes are often short-term and high impact.  For that reason, the intern will be asked to take ownership of a project and see it to completion, even in the relatively short period of a summer internship.  In addition, due to the Bank-wide nature of the work, the intern will have both the opportunity and challenge of interacting with a broad set of stakeholders from across multiple Groups, as well as interacting with top Bank leadership.

Because the Strategy, Risk + Analytics Group is relatively small, the summer intern will immediately be a critical resource in contributing to the goals and objectives of the team.  In addition, because much of our work is future-focused, the team particularly values new, diverse insights and approaches to our work that current undergraduate students are able to bring.
