This position is on the Supervision Support Office (SSO) team in the Division of Supervision & Regulation.

The SSO team serves as the strategic coordination hub for the division’s Supervision Group. We work closely with the supervisory portfolios, which are organized by the size and type of institution that they oversee, on supervisory matters, including information products, supervision policy and program development, and analysis that spans multiple portfolios. The team supports the conduct of supervisory activities across the Federal Reserve System by supporting or developing supervisory policy and regulation and program expectations, including supporting technology tools. The team also coordinates on supervisory matters across portfolios and creates cross-portfolio information products. Our team engages with many sections and levels of staff and senior leaders within the Board Supervision and Regulation Division and Federal Reserve Banks. We also serve as primary liaison between the Board’s Supervision and Policy Groups, coordinating supervisory input to inform policy development and leading policy implementation across portfolios. The SSO team works closely with colleagues in the division’s Business Enablement Group in gathering, analyzing, and reporting on supervision metrics. Additionally, the team engages with other individuals in the division’s Financial Research, Risk, and Applications Group on risk analysis, dissemination, and actions needed.

This role offers unique exposure for an early-career position, where the analyst will contribute to materials that reach the most senior leadership at the Board, develop a view across the entire supervisory landscape, and support the implementation of Board leadership’s priorities across the portfolios.
