Role Overview

BBH is recruiting for a Risk Analyst- Operational Due Diligence to join our Risk Team. In this role, you will support the operational due diligence (ODD) review process and ongoing monitoring for investment managers approved for the Capital Partners investment platform. The population of managers includes internal and external products structured across multiple fund types, including registered funds, private funds, and separately managed accounts.

Why this role matters: Your work helps ensure we understand how managers operate-not just what they invest in-by assessing the quality of controls, governance, and operational resiliency that protect client capital. You will help surface strengths and gaps early, document conclusions clearly, and support informed decision-making by internal oversight committees.

You will participate in due diligence reviews across a broad set of non-investment topics, including portfolio implementation and monitoring, trading operations, fund accounting and administration, human capital management, regulatory compliance, legal entity and tax risks, information technology, cybersecurity, and business continuity/general business practices. Final due diligence reports are presented to an internal risk oversight committee and may also be presented to other BBH oversight committees and fund boards as needed.

Additional responsibilities include helping create and present committee materials, supporting the investment manager negative news monitoring program, supporting the monthly portfolio compliance process, and contributing to broader risk and business initiatives. As needed, you will also work on risk management efforts outside the ODD program, providing a well-rounded risk management experience.

Key Responsibilities

Operational due diligence (initial underwriting & ongoing monitoring)

• Prepare for and participate in on-site and off-site due diligence meetings with investment managers and relevant affiliated entities, as needed

• Organize data rooms/manager submissions
• Track outstanding items
• Draft clear, well-supported due diligence reports that document scope, testing performed, key risks, mitigating controls, and conclusions for committee review
• Build depth as a subject matter resource across ODD focus areas (operations, compliance, technology/cyber, valuation support processes, business continuity, and vendor oversight)
• Coordinate with partners across BBH (e.g., Investment Research Group, Cyber & Technology, Business Continuity, Controllers, Credit, Office of the General Counsel, Compliance, and Internal Audit) to incorporate functional expertise into reviews and follow-ups

Broader risk management & business initiatives

• Support BBH risk management objectives through research, analysis, documentation, and execution of risk program deliverables
• Partner with the Investment Research Group and Investment Product Group to support the development and implementation of the Capital Partners investment platform, including manager onboarding and oversight
• Contribute to ad hoc risk initiatives and projects that align with your skill set (e.g., process improvements, monitoring enhancements, and reporting materials)

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or business
• Master's degree and/or CPA, CFA, or CAIA preferred
• 3+ years of relevant experience (e.g., operational due diligence, audit, accounting, fund operations, or investment management compliance)
• Understanding of risk management concepts, control design, and common governance frameworks
• Ability to analyze business processes, identify key operational risks, assess severity, and evaluate mitigating controls
• Sound judgment and ability to synthesize incomplete information into clear conclusions and next steps
• Knowledge of fund structures, investment operations, trading workflows, portfolio compliance, and related systems
• Strong relationship management skills and comfort engaging with external managers and internal partners
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to present complex topics clearly to senior stakeholders
