About the role
- The work requires fluency in both regulation and data, and it runs in both directions: you translate regulatory obligations into automated, evidence-producing data checks, and you translate data anomalies back into clear regulatory answers.
- You will report to the Senior Manager, Compliance Programs, and operate as the senior individual contributor for the analytics function.
- A supporting data analyst carries much of the recurring execution workload
Responsibilities
- Own the design, operation, and governance of automated compliance monitoring: translate regulatory obligations into rule-based detective controls that run on defined frequencies, surface exceptions, and produce audit-ready evidence.
- Serve as the primary data owner for regulatory examinations, licensing audits, and bank partner exam requests: scope requests into defined populations and extraction logic, validate results across source systems, document methodology and assumptions, and support responses through multi-round follow-ups under external deadlines.
- Triage monitoring exceptions and data anomalies, distinguishing true compliance exceptions from data artifacts and process gaps, route findings to the appropriate resolution path, and support remediation through validation and evidence review.
- Drive the automation roadmap: identify recurring manual reporting and repeat data requests and convert them into automated pipelines and self-service tools, applying AI-assisted development with disciplined human-in-the-loop validation.
- Steward the compliance data environment: adjudicate source-of-truth questions, resolve data access and quality constraints, and maintain the query repository, runbooks, and methodology documentation.
- We are happy to provide reasonable accommodations to candidates in need of individualized support during the hiring process.
Requirements
- Advanced SQL and hands-on experience with a modern cloud data stack such as Snowflake and Databricks, including building and operating automated pipelines, dashboards, and data quality checks.
