I am an Executive Director in the Internal Audit Department working with the Corporate Audit team. We have a wide range of responsibilities across the firm’s divisions including Corporate Governance, Credit, Market and Liquidity Risk areas, Finance and Compliance functions such as Anti-Money Laundering and Surveillance. I manage a number of reviews at any given time by working with teams locally here in London and in other locations such as New York, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Bangalore. Additionally, I am part of the Workplace Flexibility Working Group, which evaluates how Goldman Sachs can help its people balance their workday with the demands of home life, etc.
One of the best aspects of my role is that I am exposed to many areas across the firm. Internal Audit allows you to see the workings of the various divisions from many angles. This helps you appreciate the global aspects of our operations.
It is also extremely rewarding to work with some of the most motivated, experienced and enthusiastic people in the industry. It is the teamwork and camaraderie within our department that makes working here so great. I am very happy with my current position but I know that should I wish to try a new role within the firm that my managing director would support my next move – even if it meant losing me to another division.
