This week, we especially want to highlight our 30-minute drop-in and 50-minute appointment options. As deadlines approach and assignments accumulate, drop-in sessions are a low-stakes way for students to gain perspective and direction. They are perfect for getting a paper off the ground, clarifying a thesis, or making a plan for further writing progress.
Appointments, meanwhile, can be scheduled on the same day or in advance. For students looking to revise a draft or enrich their argumentation, these sessions provide the necessary depth of engagement to support focused progress.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
This unique, two-year rotational fellowship sits at the intersection of the federal government and the financial services industry. Director’s Financial Analysts are given the opportunity to hone analytical and problem-solving skills while helping to make markets for consumer financial products work for Americans. Members of the Director’s Financial Analyst Program will experience diverse roles, responsibilities, and areas of expertise. As a result, in a short period of time, analysts will play an integral role in everything the Bureau does, from rigorous data-driven policy creation and market monitoring to on-site supervision of market participants.
All analysts will complete developmental rotations in offices throughout the CFPB. These rotations are designed to provide exposure to the analysis, strategy, research, education, policy development, supervision, enforcement, and rulemaking activities throughout the Bureau.
We are recruiting for positions that begin after the 2020-2021 academic year.
Director’s Financial Analysts have used the program to develop their professional skills and grow their public service networks within a collaborative cohort environment. Alumni of the DFA program have moved on to graduate programs (e.g. Stanford Law, Princeton MPP, Dartmouth MBA), public sector opportunities (e.g. DC city government, Federal Reserve Banks), private industry, and other divisions within the CFPB.
HOW TO APPLY
To officially apply, students will need to do so at https://www.consumerfinance.gov/careers during our live application window on USAJobs. The window will be from October 19th – November 13th. Students who send an email demonstrating interest will be notified when the application becomes available.
