Consumer Financial Protection Bureau – Director’s Financial Analyst
Hello,
I graduated from Columbia this May with degrees in Sustainable Development and History. In my three months at the Bureau, I have learned a great deal about financial regulation and governance, and I’ve been able to work on several fascinating and important projects. I am eager to encourage other students, even those without backgrounds in finance, to apply.
Information about the DFA Program and upcoming recruiting events are included in the message below. Visit the CFPB webpage at http://www.consumerfinance.gov/about-us/careers/students-and-graduates/ for more information and to apply during the live application window.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
This unique, two-year rotational fellowship sits at the intersection of the federal government and the financial services industry. Designed to engage recent college graduates in meaningful public service work, DFAs are given the opportunity to hone analytical and problem-solving skills while helping to ensure all households have access to markets for consumer financial products and services that are fair, transparent, and competitive.
As a DFA, you will complete two year-long developmental rotations in different divisions across the CFPB. These rotations are designed to provide exposure to the analysis, strategy, research, policy development, supervision, enforcement, and rulemaking activities taking place across the agency. In a short period of time, DFAs will play an integral role in everything the CFPB does, from rigorous data-driven policy creation and market monitoring to supervision of market participants.
ELIGIBILITY AND HOW TO APPLY
The DFA program is recruiting for full-time fellowship positions that begin in June 2023.
Recent graduates who will have received an undergraduate degree on or after April 1, 2020 and before June 20, 2023 are eligible to apply. Those interested should apply at https://www.consumerfinance.gov/careers during the live application window on USAJobs.
The application will be open from Tuesday, November 1 through Monday, November 28 and it can be found at https://www.usajobs.gov/job/686678400.
If you have questions or want to be notified when the application becomes available, students and alumni can send an email expressing interest to CFPB_DFA_Program@cfpb.gov. You can also reach out to me at Nicholas.Kime@cfpb.gov to hear more about my experiences as a DFA.
