$60k–$195k Legal Jobs in New York, NY

G MASS are seeking an Information Barriers Consultant to join the Legal & Compliance function of a leading global financial services firm, operating across both its hedge fund and broker-dealer entities.

This is an embedded, programme ownership role. The successful candidate will take full day-to-day ownership of a well-established information barriers programme, running it independently from day one. The programme is mature with strong controls and significant automation already in place; the new hire will inherit a functioning operation rather than build one from scratch. The role requires someone assertive enough to chase resolution across a large organisation, comfortable engaging engineers and technology teams on systems and access management, and organised enough to manage a broad and varied BAU workload concurrently. This is not a short-term assignment: significant institutional knowledge is required, and the end goal is for the successful candidate to own the programme outright.

You'll be joining a close-knit three-person compliance team at one of the most prominent names in global finance, with genuine long-term progression on offer. After year one, there is the opportunity to convert to a full-time employee. The role is based five days per week on-site in Midtown, New York.

Responsibilities

Own the end-to-end management of the firm's information barrier controls across both the hedge fund and broker-dealer entities, ensuring all controls remain accurate and fit for purpose
Coordinate the addition of new information barriers across systems and teams, following an established playbook and ensuring all relevant parties are engaged through to completion
Monitor daily exception reports, investigating anomalies with system owners and determining whether activity constitutes a breach or misconfiguration
Administer electronic IB controls across Active Directory, Unix groups, JIRA, SharePoint, and service accounts, ensuring access permissions accurately reflect barrier configurations
Manage physical IB controls including badge and door access, floor and building separation, and weekly desk move approvals
Oversee the employee transfer nuking process, reviewing transfers across divisions, assessing whether an information barrier is crossed, and deactivating and reissuing system access accordingly
Administer new department IB assignments, reviewing and approving barrier configurations for new teams as they are created
Manage the Shared Resources Dashboard, tracking technology infrastructure shared between the hedge fund and broker-dealer entities, reviewing new requests, maintaining existing entries, and removing resources no longer in use
Review and approve new software requests from a compliance perspective, as one of three reviewers alongside information security and engineering
Administer entitlements across the Legal and Compliance function, ensuring access rights are granted at the appropriate level within internal access management systems
Conduct annual audits of Compliance Firewall groups and the Shared Resources Dashboard on a sampling basis to confirm controls remain fit for purpose
Perform periodic testing of IB Active Directory and Unix groups to verify that technical controls are functioning as intended
Track workstreams and report on team accomplishments to senior leadership via JIRA, and act as a central coordination figure within the team

Direct experience managing an information barriers programme is strongly preferred; control room, compliance operations, access governance, or identity and access management backgrounds are all considered
Experience within a regulated financial services environment; hedge fund or broker-dealer background is advantageous but not required
Comfortable engaging engineers and technology teams on systems architecture, logical access separation, and entitlement configuration without needing a technical background
Proven ability to operate with persistence across a large, matrixed organisation, chasing resolution from senior and diverse stakeholders across business, technology, risk, and operations
Highly organised with the ability to manage a broad, concurrent BAU workload without dropping detail
Confident enough to flag violations and hold the line on compliance requirements across the firm
Familiarity with JIRA is advantageous but not essential

Pay: $1,000-1,100/d

Length: initial 12-months, with the potential to be made permanent
