Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco

We are the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco — public servants with a mission to advance the nation’s monetary, financial, and payment systems to build a stronger economy for all Americans. As part of the nation’s central bank, we are committed to understanding and serving the vibrant, expansive communities of the Twelfth District, which covers the nine western states of the U.S. That means we seek and appreciate new perspectives and build opportunities to learn and grow. At the SF Fed, we approach our work with integrity and a commitment to service.

The SF Fed’s Supervision Group is responsible for the supervision and regulation of state member banks, bank holding companies, savings and loan holding companies, financial holding companies, data service providers, trust companies, and foreign banking organizations that operate in the 12th District.

As Supervision evolves to meet increasingly complex regulatory and industry demands, we're looking for a Lead Business Analyst to help lead this transformation, shifting our approach to resource and skills planning from reactive to proactive and data driven. This is a high-visibility role, partnering closely with both the Resource Management Group (RMG) and Learning & Development (L&D) teams, where forecasting models, workforce analytics, and strategic insights will directly shape how Supervision builds a stronger, more agile examiner workforce. If you enjoy translating complex data into strategic action and want your work to have a meaningful, visible impact on how the SF Fed develops the people who supervise and safeguard the financial institutions of the 12th District—advancing our mission to build a stronger economy for all Americans—we invite you to apply.
