Risk Management Intern/Recent Grad

About the role

In an increasingly complex world where people are starving for someone they can trust, we stand for something simple: always put the client first. We do well by doing good for those we serve. It’s the ultimate measure. We believe in providing value beyond a doubt and in the notion that time will either expose you or promote you, based on your willingness to embrace change. We serve financial advisors and investors through three entities, each headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska: Carson Wealth, Carson Coaching and Carson Partners. We provide coaching and partnership services to advisor firms – and straightforward financial advice to the investing public. We all share a common mission to be the most trusted in financial advice.

Carson Group is seeking two Risk Management Interns to support the buildout and standardization of enterprise risk infrastructure across the firm. This is a high-output, hands-on role - not a shadow experience. Interns will own defined workstreams, engage directly with business leaders, and produce deliverables that are actively used across Legal, Compliance, Cybersecurity, and business operations. Work will center on enterprise policy and procedure documentation, Risk and Control Matrix development, control gap identification, and risk statement drafting, all within a standardized governance framework. Interns will translate complex business processes into structured, risk-aligned documentation and maintain that work within SharePoint and centralized repositories. This role is well-suited for structured thinkers who write with precision, thrive in ambiguous environments, and are ready to contribute independently from day one. Ideal candidates are currently pursuing — or have recently completed — a degree in Finance, Economics, Risk Management, Business, MIS, or a related STEM field, and bring strong analytical instincts and a process-oriented mindset.

• Document and standardize policies, procedures, and process flows across business units
