See yourself as a Legal & Compliance Analyst:

Imagine yourself as a member of the Legal & Compliance department at PIMCO, a prestigious opportunity that offers a unique and impactful experience. As a valued member of the team, you will play a crucial role in confirming that PIMCO's investment and strategic goals align with client guidelines and regulatory requirements.

If you choose to specialize in Investment Compliance, you will gain invaluable knowledge about interpreting regulations, coding, and monitoring trades for over 4,000 public funds and separate accounts. Collaborating closely with various departments across the firm, you will be at the forefront of maintaining compliance and contributing to PIMCO's success.

Alternatively, if you opt for a Regulatory Compliance assignment, you will focus on one to two key areas within the team. This may involve reviewing marketing materials, navigating broker-dealer regulations, addressing anti-financial crime requirements, or exploring other critical regulatory areas (i.e., conflicts of interest). Developing a keen understanding of relevant regulations, learning how to evaluate controls designed to mitigate regulatory risk, and delivering on assigned projects will be instrumental in monitoring PIMCO's adherence to regulatory standards.

In addition to work in the assigned focus areas, you will have the opportunity to engage in various ad hoc projects on a daily basis. This may include resolving inquiries, conducting scenario analysis, AI-based initiatives, and participating in technology testing. Furthermore, you will be assigned a specific project where you will conduct detailed analysis, develop and present proposals, and drive meaningful change within the compliance organization.

This internship offers a unique chance to work alongside industry subject matter experts, gain hands-on experience, and make a tangible impact. Join us at PIMCO and embark on a transformative journey where you will develop professional skills, contribute to important initiatives, and shape the future of the investment management industry.

While our eligibility requirements are not flexible, we encourage you to apply even if you do not possess 100% of the desired skills outlined above.
