• Program Co-Management: Partner closely with the Chief Compliance Officer to execute, refine, and co-manage the institution's overall BSA/AML and OFAC compliance programs under the CCO's guidance.

• System Optimization & Tuning: Serve as the technical point person for Transaction Monitoring and OFAC Screening platforms. Drive and participate in complex system tuning, model validation, and technical system-testing projects.

• Operations & Investigations: Oversee high-volume transaction monitoring, look-backs, alert clearing, and complex suspicious activity investigations, ensuring timely and accurate SAR filings.

• Audit & Exam Readiness: Take an active lead role in preparing for, coordinating, and managing internal audits and state/federal regulatory compliance examinations.

• Enterprise Risk Assessments: Contribute heavily to regular, comprehensive institutional risk assessment projects to identify, measure, and mitigate compliance exposure.

• Experience Level: Around 5 to 8 years of dedicated banking compliance experience. (This role is a mid-level management seat and is not intended for candidates with 10+ years of senior management experience).

• Deep Technical BSA/AML Expertise: Subject matter mastery in transaction monitoring and complex financial investigations, backed by a strong working knowledge of Know Your Customer (KYC) and OFAC regulations.

• System & Model Validation Savvy: Proven, hands-on experience figuring out compliance platforms, with direct involvement in model validation, platform testing, or system parameter tuning.

• Leadership/Mentorship Background: Prior experience leading teams, serving as a senior team lead, or explicitly training junior analysts, combined with a strong desire to step into full-time people management.

• Regulatory Exposure: Prior exposure to managing or heavily supporting regulatory exams (e.g., Federal Reserve, FDIC, NYDFS) and internal audit responses.

• Accelerated Career Growth: A true stepping-stone role into executive compliance leadership, offering direct mentorship from the Chief Compliance Officer.
