VP / Director - Business Selection & Conflicts Group - Bank of America : Job Details

Bank of America ( www.bankofamerica.com ) is one of the world's largest financial institutions, serving individual consumers, small businesses and large corporations with a full range of banking, investing, asset management and other financial and risk-management products and services.

Director in Business Selection & Conflicts Group

The Business Selection & Conflicts Group (BSC) is the first point of contact within Investment Banking on potential new business mandates as well as queries regarding ongoing transactions. BSC clears all new potential business mandates, as well as the signing of all confidentiality obligations, to confirm potential conflicts of interest are anticipated, identified, and managed. BSC drives decision making on business selection issues to ensure the firm is committing to the most attractive opportunities. In addition, BSC provides a central hub of information for current and historic involvement in transactions.

BSC is a global group based in New York, London and Hong Kong that interacts daily with investment bankers as well as with various functions within Investment Banking (legal, compliance, finance, business operations). Since all new investment banking mandates must be analyzed by BSC before they are accepted by the firm, the group works in a very demanding, time sensitive environment.

The BSC Director position is based in New York and will report to the Head of Americas BSC. The Director is expected to take a leading role in BSC's conflict clearance process for M&A, capital markets and other investment transactions, preparing disclosure memos for certain of our M&A clients, interacting frequently with investment bankers globally as well as internal support partners and senior business leaders. Candidates should have experience with M&A and/or capital markets transactions as well as strength in analyzing complex situations on a compressed timetable. Candidates also should have the ability to communicate effectively and work collaboratively with global BSC colleagues. The ideal candidate has 6+ years of conflicts management at a peer firm, transactional legal experience and/or transaction-oriented experience in a business or compliance-oriented role.
