at JPMorgan Chase in Chicago, Illinois, United States
Job Description
Bring your expertise to JPMorgan Chase. As part of Risk Management and Compliance, you are at the center of keeping JPMorgan Chase strong and resilient. You help the firm grow its business in a responsible way by anticipating new and emerging risks, and using your expert judgement to solve real-world challenges that impact our company, customers and communities. Our culture in Risk Management and Compliance is all about thinking outside the box, challenging the status quo and striving to be best-in-class.
As a Principal Risk Vice President within the Tax-Oriented Investments (TOI) team, you will concentrate on two segments that capitalize on tax credits – Affordable Housing and Green Energy (wind, solar, and emerging technologies). Collaborating closely with the TOI Risk Executive, you will manage unique risks in this distinct structured equity portfolio, ensuring comprehensive risk management and oversight. This new role has been established to help manage the significant growth in the Green Energy sector, a priority for JPMorgan’s senior management. Your work will primarily involve TOI and private equity investments, which are typically privately held financial instruments representing ownership interests or other forms of junior capital, designed to enhance or accelerate the Firm’s business strategies. These Principal Investments carry unique risks due to their illiquidity, lack of market transparency, and their “first loss” or junior capital status. TOI forms a significant majority of the Principal Risk portfolio.
