Supervisory Analyst - Vice President

Job Description:

Job Title Supervisory Analyst

Corporate Title Vice President

Location New York, NY

Overview

As a Supervisory Analyst (SA), you will review and approve global research, including equities, credit, high yield, economics, strategy, derivatives, and quantitative analysis – balancing risk management (regulatory, reputational, and financial risk) with commerciality (analysts want to be first to market). You will stay abreast of international news, focusing on developments in business, economics, and politics as context for research. You will monitor workflow and prioritize documents. You will prioritize work from a commercial standpoint – considering factors such as time zones around the globe, actionability, market impact, analyst availability, meeting and marketing schedules, management focus, and SA staffing.

What We Offer You

• A diverse and inclusive environment that embraces change, innovation, and collaboration

• A hybrid working model, allowing for in-office / work from home flexibility, generous vacation, personal and volunteer days

• Employee Resource Groups support an inclusive workplace for everyone and promote community engagement

• Competitive compensation packages including health and wellbeing benefits, retirement savings plans, parental leave, and family building benefits

• Educational resources, matching gift, and volunteer programs

What You’ll Do

• Evaluate reports, make independent business decisions, implement necessary changes to ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements and in-house policies. Supervisory analysts evaluate reports with respect to logic, organization, and valuation methodology; ensure clarity and internal consistency; and enforce the need for reasonable basis and transparency in research. SAs must make independent business decisions regarding content – in a high-pressure environment – and be able to explain necessary changes to analysts (and potentially to regulators)

• Edit reports – which requires proficiency in the English language at a native-speaker level – and help non-native English SAs make decisions on nuances in tone, meaning, and cultural appropriateness. SAs must be able to rewrite content by non-native English authors, elevating it to a professional level, while maintaining the author’s voice and intended message

• Communicate effectively with research analysts and product management team. SAs must communicate with Deutsche Bank’s global analyst community and tactfully help analysts change wording, and in certain cases remove text (e.g., on restricted stocks). Supervisory analysts must be sensitive to cultural and regional differences regarding meaning and subtle differences/implications in language and images. SAs frequently act as liaison between analysts’ demands and management concerns. They must also work well with the production team to edit documents and identify formatting issues

• Comfortably multi-task on various IT platforms, as SAs usually work on multiple research products simultaneously, across several different IT applications

How You’ll Lead

• Work closely with control room, compliance and legal in identifying potential conflicts, or ‘hits’ (watch- or restricted-list companies or countries). SAs must understand and implement changes required by the control room. They must know when and how to argue the analyst’s case to the control room, and vice versa – requiring a working knowledge of the key elements of both roles

• Keep up to date with regulatory changes including any changes implemented by FINRA. While new regulatory requirements are generally interpreted by legal and disseminated in-house, it is the SA’s responsibility to ensure that he/she fully understands the laws, is able to implement them immediately, and can explain them to analysts. SAs must also be able to recognize when material requires review by another licensed individual (derivatives research, Series 4) and refer research appropriately

Skills You’ll Need

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent

• Moderate experience working as a supervisory analyst (Series 16 qualified); Series S4 a bonus

• Firm grasp of regulatory requirements: how to implement them in research and explain them to analysts

• Editorial experience

• Research analyst/associate experience a plus

Skills That Will Help You Excel

• Strong written and oral communications and interpersonal skills (native English speaker level)

• Team player with the ability to prioritize in a high-pressure environment
