The St.

Treasury's financial operations, and advancing economic education, community development and fair access to credit.

The Federal Reserve Bank of St.

The M&A Unit is seeking an Analyst to join our specialized team.

The successful candidate will work collaboratively with fellow financial analysts to support the Eighth District’s regulatory application review process, conduct base-level casework, and develop a foundational understanding of the various types of applications filed with the Federal Reserve System.

With time, you will independently manage a caseload of application and notice filings from initial intake and acceptance through comprehensive review, analysis, and final disposition.

You will also serve as a subject matter expert on assigned filings, presenting case summaries and status updates in weekly team and ad hoc meetings.

The position requires frequent collaboration with stakeholders, including internal teams such as safety and soundness, consumer affairs, and legal staff, as well as external parties including other bank regulatory agencies, applicants and their representatives, and Federal Reserve Board of Governors’ staff.

As you develop, you will have opportunities to participate in special projects and Federal Reserve System M&A workgroups, contributing to broader System M&A initiatives.
