• Support regulatory examinations and maintain effective relationships and communication with the OCC and other applicable regulatory stakeholders.
• Contribute compliance expertise to major operational transformation initiatives, including modernization of the Bank's loan origination processes and systems.
• Identify opportunities to leverage technology, automation, reporting, and data to create a more efficient and best-in-class compliance function.

Requirements:

• 10+ years of progressive experience in banking compliance, compliance testing, quality control, internal audit, risk management, regulatory examination, or a closely related banking function.
• Demonstrated experience building, transforming, or materially strengthening a banking compliance, QC, testing, monitoring, or second-line review program.
• Broad knowledge of consumer and operational banking compliance, including lending and deposit regulations, fair lending, UDAAP, CRA, BSA/AML, OFAC, privacy, and related federal and state requirements.
• Prior experience interacting with the OCC, regulatory examiners, senior executives, and/or Boards of Directors.
• Strong understanding of risk-based testing, control evaluation, testing methodology, issue management, remediation, and regulatory examination readiness.
• Proven people leadership experience with a genuine interest in coaching, mentoring, training, and developing employees.
• Strong emotional intelligence, executive presence, communication skills, and ability to influence across organizational lines.
• A collaborative, servant-leadership approach with the ability to hold teams accountable while building strong relationships across Compliance, Internal Audit, Operations, Finance, and other functions.
