Executive Director - Accounting & Regulatory Policy
JR034072

Glasgow

This is an Executive Director level position within our Accounting & Regulatory Policy Job Family which is responsible for the firms Accounting Policies under USGAAP and IFRS and Basel Based Regulatory Capital and Liquidity policy.

Accounting & Regulatory Policy ('Policy') is a global function within Finance which supports Morgan Stanley in achieving its business goals by providing independent, enterprise level advisory and oversight in relation to Accounting Policy and Prudential/Regulatory Policy for a broad range of internal and external stakeholders.

As a result of this focus, Policy plays a critical role in safeguarding the Firm's financial integrity, regulatory standing and risk profile, and in supporting strategic decision making across the Firm. Policy is a key contributor to client advisory, major Firm initiatives and regulatory change programs, helping to shape and influence the Firm's long term strategy.

Following a continued expansion in scope, complexity, and senior stakeholder engagement, an Executive Director opportunity has arisen within the Glasgow Accounting & Regulatory Policy team, which operates as a global centre of excellence and senior advisory hub for the Firm.

The role has global remit and accountability, with responsibility across Accounting and Regulatory Policy, including IFRS, US GAAP and Basel based frameworks. The role provides enterprise wide influence, advising leadership on matters with material financial, regulatory, and reputational impact.

What will you be doing?
Enterprise leadership and strategic impact
> Act as a senior leader within Policy, accountable for driving consistent, well governed policy outcomes across regions and legal entities.
> Provide strategic, forward looking advice to senior management on accounting and regulatory developments that may impact the Firm's financial position, capital, disclosures or strategy.
> Apply an enterprise risk lens to policy interpretation, ensuring alignment between accounting outcomes, regulatory expectations and the Firm's risk appetite and governance framework.
Accounting Policy
> Provide authoritative leadership on IFRS and US GAAP interpretation, with particular focus on complex, judgement heavy areas and issues with Firm wide impact.
> Own and oversee the Firm's global GAAP horizon scanning agenda, translating emerging standard setter developments into clear assessments of risk, impact, and recommended actions.
> Act as final escalation point within Glasgow Policy for complex accounting matters, including significant transactions, structural changes, and disclosure judgements with material financial or reputational consequences.
Regulatory Policy
> Provide senior policy leadership on prudential regulation, including Basel III, CRR/CRD, PRA rules, and related supervisory guidance, ensuring robust, defensible interpretations are applied consistently across the Firm.
> Advise on regulatory policy implications of strategic initiatives, balance sheet changes and evolving business models, focusing on capital, leverage, liquidity and regulatory disclosure impacts.
> Support the Firm's response to regulatory change by shaping policy positions, governance frameworks, and implementation approaches for high impact regulatory initiatives.
Firm initiatives and senior stakeholder engagement
> Represent Policy in major Firm programs, steering committees and governance forums, influencing outcomes where policy judgement is central to success.
> Serve as a trusted advisor and thought partner to senior stakeholders across Finance, Risk, Legal, Treasury, and the Businesses, exercising independent challenge where appropriate.
> Ensure complex issues are appropriately escalated, documented, and resolved in line with Firm governance expectations. Leadership & team development
> Provide visible, senior leadership within the Glasgow team, setting expectations aligned to Executive Director standards of judgement, ownership, and accountability.
> Manage and develop senior team members, with accountability for performance management, talent development, and succession planning.
> Drive sustainable capability building across Policy, ensuring the team is positioned to meet future accounting and regulatory challenges.

What we're looking for
> Qualified accountant (CA, CPA, ACCA or equivalent).
> Deep technical expertise in IFRS and/or US GAAP, combined with strong understanding of prudential regulatory frameworks and supervisory expectations.
> Proven experience providing senior level accounting and/or regulatory policy advice on issues with enterprise wide financial, regulatory, or reputational impact.
> Demonstrated ability to exercise sound judgement in complex, ambiguous situations, balancing technical rigor with commercial and risk considerations.
> Strong influencing and communication skills, with the credibility to engage and challenge at Executive Director and Managing Director level.

Skills that will help you in the role
> Strategic mindset, with the ability to connect technical policy detail to Firm level outcomes.
> Strong appreciation of enterprise risk, governance and regulatory expectations.
> Experience contributing to or leading large scale accounting or regulatory change programs.
> Collaborative leadership style, combined with the confidence to challenge constructively and drive decisions.
