Receive 2-for-1 matching gifts for your charitable contributions and the opportunity to secure annual grants for the organizations you love.

I can succeed as a Compliance Lead at Capital Group.

As a Compliance Lead within our sales literature review team in Legal & Compliance, you will provide compliance oversight and review of marketing materials for retail and institutional investors in various investment vehicles, including ETFs, mutual funds, alternative investments, separately managed accounts, and collective investment trusts. You will work with global teams of highly experienced lawyers and compliance and risk professionals who work collaboratively to guide business decisions that make an impact in our highly regulated environment. Every day, you will provide guidance to internal stakeholders on the applicability of rules and regulatory requirements, internal guidelines and disclosure standards, and other risk related issues when reviewing communication materials.

To thrive in this role, you’re experienced in reviewing marketing communications, you enjoy providing necessary guidance to writers and others, and you are passionate about staying informed about advertising and sales literature regulatory policies.

I am the person Capital Group is looking for.

You have in depth knowledge of various investment vehicles including ETFs, mutual funds, alternative investments, separate accounts, SMAs and CITs, and experience with the regulatory framework applicable to marketing communications used by broker/dealers and RIAs to offer and promote the vehicles. You’re well versed in the rules governing securities advertising and have detailed knowledge of investment and economic concepts. You’re comfortable acting as a subject matter expert with marketing department associates and providing guidance on applicable regulatory requirements. You have experience with the applicable advertising rules (e.g., SEC Marketing Rule, FINRA 2210 and 2212, SEC Rule 482, etc.) related to the implementation of required policies and procedures as well as application of the rules to advertisements.

You're able to apply critical thinking and sound regulatory judgment when evaluating recordkeeping requirements for marketing communications, ensuring marketing materials, approvals, supporting substantiation, and related review records are maintained in accordance with SEC, FINRA, and firm recordkeeping standards. Attention to detail is a key attribute by which you define yourself. You’re highly observant and can identify opportunities to enhance the control environment through sound business recommendations. You’re familiar with project life cycles and are motivated to meet deadlines without sacrificing quality. Your resilience has helped when you’ve enlisted the help of others, sifted through large data sets, re-prioritized, strategized, tailored communication, embraced conflict and identified critical issues. You are able to manage competing priorities. You are comfortable when priorities shift, and you manage change with steadfast composure. You are comfortable leveraging technology to improve efficiency and take initiative to simplify and scale without sacrificing quality. You place high value on being authentic, respectful, and engaging. Your actions demonstrate that you value collaboration and different perspectives. By asking great questions and bouncing ideas off others, you proactively share your perspective and listen to other perspectives with an open mind. You’re a skilled communicator and thrive in team settings, at the same time, you are a self-starter who excels when working independently. You appreciate the sense of accomplishment achieved when a job is done right, or you solve a problem using your good judgment.
