Former British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will start again as a senior advisor to Goldman Sachs, the bank shared on Tuesday, a year after his conservative party had suffered a great loss of election.

“I am pleased to welcome Rishi in his new capacity as a senior consultant in his new capacity,” said David Solomon, chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs, in a statement.

“In his role, he will work with managers in the entire company to advise our customers worldwide about a number of important topics and to share his unique perspectives and insights into the macroeconomic and geopolitical landscape,” he added.

Sunak's payment from Goldman Sachs is to be donated to his charity, The Richmond Project, which is intended to promote the number of numbers.

It will not be Sunak's first stay in the bank, where he worked as an analyst in the early 2000s. The former prime minister then worked elsewhere in the financial sector before becoming a member of the parliament in 2015.

Before he became a British Prime Minister, Sunak held various high -ranking political positions, including as finance minister or Chancellor in the country.

Today Sunak is still a member of the parliament in Great Britain, although he resigned as a conservative party leader after his loss of election of 2024. The result was considered devastating for the conservatives, with their number of seats shrinking strongly after 14 years.

Documents show that Sunak initially asked for approval in May to join Goldman Sachs, but the state appointments Watchdog ACOBA said that he had to wait a year in a ministerial task for a year to take over the position at the bank.

The watchdog pointed out that the role of various risks, including the fact that he could advise on topics that “overlap” with his state responsibilities, and that his “appointment to unfair access and influence within the British government” could be seen “.

Sunak's scope in his new role is therefore restricted for another year, with Acoba restricting him to “advice on strategy, macroeconomic and geopolitical matters that are not into conflict with their time as prime minister”.
