2027 Firm Risk Management Summer Analyst Program - Risk Management (New York)

Have you ever wondered how banks manage the many evolving risks they face? At Morgan Stanley, our Firm Risk Management Division identifies, measures, monitors, and controls risks. Some of those risks include, but are not limited to, regulatory risk and the risk of financial loss to the Firm and our clients. Through independent assessment of the effectiveness and consistency of risk management processes, we mitigate potential harm to the Firm and our clients.

Our risk departments, called “Risk Stripes,” seek to uphold and improve different components of our risk framework. We cater the program to each individual and place them in a specific Risk Stripe most well-suited to their abilities and interests.

OUR PROGRAM OFFERS:

• A 10-week Summer Analyst Program beginning in June
• A comprehensive hands-on introduction to Financial Services and Risk Management
• In-depth exposure to a specific Risk Stripe such as Credit Risk, Liquidity Risk, Market Risk, Risk COO, and Wealth Management Risk.
• Opportunities to take on meaningful and challenging projects to assess risks and communicate findings
• Formal training covering product and industry knowledge, soft skills, and teambuilding activities as well as informal training like on-the-job learning and weekly educational forums with Senior Management in the division
• Each Summer Analyst will be matched up with a peer buddy and a senior leader mentor
• Commitment to providing and supporting an inclusive workplace for all employees

OUR RISK STRIPES:

• Credit Risk Management (CRM): CRM is responsible for mitigating the risk of loss arising from an obligor’s inability to meet its financial obligations to the Firm. CRM independently assesses the creditworthiness of the Firm’s counterparties and borrowers, assigns internal credit ratings, and monitors and evaluates credit risk exposure on an ongoing basis.
• Liquidity Risk Department (LRD): LRD provides independent monitoring and oversight of liquidity risk arising from unexpected changes in the Firm’s funding needs or an inability to raise funds to meet its financial obligations in a timely manner. LRD ensures that the size and composition of the Firm’s liquidity resources are adequate in the amount and quality.
• Market Risk Department (MRD): MRD oversees the market risk arising from the Firm’s trading and nontrading business activities, primarily through the Firm’s Institutional Securities business. This includes identifying and defining market risks, establishing limits, and distributing comprehensive reports.
• Risk COO: Risk COO comprises several global teams that partner across risk areas to deliver strategic driven initiatives.
• US Banks, Wealth Management and Investment Management (US Banks, WM & IM): US Banks, WM & IM partners across risk to establish risk frameworks, deliver strategic initiatives, and manage and mitigate a variety of risks across the US Banks, Wealth Management and the Firm’s extensive investment offerings in Public and Private Markets.
