I am an analyst with the Office of Global Security (OGS) in New York. I currently provide support to both global security strategy and Americas security operations.  My job involves creating risk-based security standards for OGS, conducting office risk assessments and developing firmwide security policies and procedures.

My work tends to be a combination of team-based and individual projects. However, hardly anything I do can be completed without teamwork.  My work often entails coordinating with OGS security directors to assess regional requirements and gurantee global consistency.

The most rewarding aspect of my job is ensuring the security and safety of the people of Goldman Sachs. While security functions in the background of the firm's day to day business, it's gratifying to be aware the underlying complexity of Goldman Sachs' global security infrastructure.

Every day at Goldman Sachs is filled with a wide range of opportunities. Goldman Sachs University offers classes to help you reach your long term career goals, and people here are always willing to informally mentor you. It’s not uncommon for a first year analyst to chat over a cup of coffee (or, in my case, tea) with a senior professional. The chance to learn from the best, both on the job and in the classroom, is readily available.
