The Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is recruiting this fall for the Director’s
Financial Analyst position, and we want to encourage graduating Economics
seniors to apply.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
This unique, two-year
rotational fellowship sits at the intersection of the federal government and
the financial services industry. Director’s Financial Analysts are given the
opportunity to hone analytical and problem solving skills while helping to make
markets for consumer financial products work for Americans. Members of the Director’s Financial Analyst Program will
experience diverse roles, responsibilities, and areas of expertise. As a
result, in a short period of time, analysts will play an integral role in
everything the CFPB does, from rigorous data-driven policy creation and market
monitoring to on-site supervision of market participants. All analysts will
complete developmental rotations in offices throughout the CFPB. These
rotations are designed to provide exposure to the analysis, strategy, research,
education, policy development, supervision, enforcement, and rulemaking
activities throughout the Bureau.
We are
recruiting for positions that begin after the 2016-2017 academic year.
Previous Director’s
Financial Analysts have used the program as a springboard to further their
careers. Some graduates of the program have moved on to:
- Graduate
school (Columbia Economics, Harvard Business, Yale Law)
- Private
industry (Amazon, Uber, Wells Fargo)
- Public sector (Department of the Treasury, NY Fed)
We will be at
the campus-wide Career Fair on September 22, and hope to meet some of your
students there!
