• Using an inquisitive and analytical mindset to independently evaluate financial, managerial, and competitive/anti-trust factors, and collaborate with subject matter experts across the KC Fed's Supervision and Risk Management and Legal Divisions to incorporate safety and soundness, consumer compliance/Community Reinvestment Act, and legal/policy factors into comprehensive analyses.

• Leveraging strong communication skills to serve as a liaison with external constituents, including financial institutions, consultants, and law firms, on matters related to pending or ongoing applications, and produce clear and concise written documents.

• Relying on strong interpersonal skills to foster collaborative relationships with representatives from federal and state regulatory agencies and the Board of Governors to build consensus and ensure a consistent approach in the application of supervisory, legal, and/or other interpretative matters.

• Investing in your peers' development by proactively sharing knowledge and regularly providing peer-level feedback in support of the KC Fed's focus on employee growth.
