  •  Oversee enterprise-wide BSA/AML governance for fintech partnerships, sponsor bank relationships, digital banking initiatives, payment services, and other strategic growth initiatives. 
  •  Develop and maintain risk assessment frameworks for high-risk customer portfolios, including MSBs, money transmitters, cannabis-related businesses, ATM operators, and other cash-intensive businesses. 
  •  Direct enhanced due diligence (EDD), transaction monitoring, suspicious activity investigations, and regulatory reporting, including SARs and CTRs. 
  •  Lead and develop the BSA/AML team while fostering a strong culture of compliance throughout the organization. 
  •  Partner with business leaders across Treasury, Operations, Digital Banking, Compliance, Information Security, Legal, and Enterprise Risk Management to ensure appropriate financial crime controls are embedded into new products and services. 
What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications

  •  Bachelor's degree with 7+ years of progressive BSA/AML compliance experience, including at least 3 years supporting higher-risk industries; or
  •  High school diploma or GED with 10+ years of related BSA/AML and banking experience. 
  •  Minimum 3 years of leadership or management experience. 
  •  Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS) certification or the ability to obtain it within six months of hire. 
  •  Strong working knowledge of the Bank Secrecy Act, USA PATRIOT Act, OFAC requirements, FinCEN guidance, and the FFIEC BSA/AML Examination Manual. 
  •  Experience managing regulatory examinations, audits, and enterprise financial crime compliance programs. 
  •  Excellent analytical, investigative, communication, and leadership skills. 
  •  Ability to successfully pass a background check.
