Are you passionate about large bank supervision and being a part of a dynamic team? Interested in a unique opportunity to collaborate with colleagues in the 12th District and across the Federal Reserve System (FRS) in a wide range of supervisory activities related to large firms' financial resilience? If yes - then read on!

We need you, a Senior Risk Specialist who will be responsible for participating in and leading various financial resilience-related supervisory activities in the Large and Foreign Banking Organizations (LFBO) supervision program. Your primary focus in 2022 is monitoring and assessing risk management related to credit exposure in support of our Dedicated Supervisory Team (DST) at Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG).
