Description

Who We Are

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.

Who We Want

Carson Group is seeking 3–4 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.

This position is based here in Omaha at Carson HQ; remote applicants will be considered. This position will target 30-40 hours per week; part-time applicants must be available at least 25 hours per week during regular business hours.

What To Expect

Document and standardize policies, procedures, and process flows across business units
Develop and enhance Risk and Control Matrices aligned to the enterprise risk register
Identify and document policy, procedure, and control gaps across functions
Draft and structure risk statements using root-cause methodology
Support control design and documentation using a standardized control framework
Translate business processes into risk-aligned workflows and structured documentation
Support change management and version control for new and update policies
Build and maintain documentation within SharePoint and centralized repositories
Partner directly with stakeholders across business units, Legal, Compliance, and Cybersecurity
Operate independently to gather requirements and produce structured outputs
Present findings and recommendations as needed

What You Need

Interest in financial services or enterprise risk management preferred.
Proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, Access, and Outlook required.
Exceptional written communication and documentation skills, with a demonstrated ability to organize and present complex information in a clear, structured format required.
Strong analytical and process-oriented thinking, with the ability to connect processes, risks, and controls required.
Proven ability to manage multiple deliverables simultaneously in a high-volume, fast-paced environment required.
Ability to navigate ambiguity and translate unclear or incomplete information into structured, actionable outputs required.

Preferred Education and Experience

Bachelor's or master's degree in Finance, Economics, Risk Management, Business, MIS, or related field in progress or anticipated preferred; recent graduates will also be considered.
Exposure to risk management, audit, compliance, business operations, or governance concepts preferred.
Experience with process mapping tools (e.g., Visio, Draw.io, Lucidchart) preferred.
Familiarity with SharePoint or document management systems preferred.
Prior internship or project experience involving documentation, analysis, or process improvement preferred.

EEO Statement:

In exchange for your expertise, we offer an hourly wage and a great working environment. This is your chance to play a key role in the continued success of our company. Our culture is fast-paced, collaborative, innovative, and focused on healthy living. Carson strives to promote the health and wellness of its stakeholders by maintaining a tobacco-free workplace.

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, sexual orientation, age or any other characteristic protected by law.
