Responsibilities

Regulatory Expertise & Advisory

• Serve as the senior compliance expert and driver on U.S. money transmission laws, consumer protection regulations (e.g., Reg E, UDAAP, E-Sign Act), and intersecting compliance obligations across AML/BSA, sanctions (OFAC), and financial reporting frameworks.

• Partner with product, engineering, operations, finance, and legal teams to provide expert compliance guidance — connecting obligations across regulatory domains and delivering practical, business-relevant advice in close collaboration with legal counsel and compliance program owners.

• Proactively monitor and translate emerging regulatory developments into actionable requirements, advising senior leadership on risk implications and recommended responses.

• Prepare and present key risk indicator reports, compliance program updates, and exam readiness assessments to senior management, compliance committees, and executive stakeholders.

• Promote a culture of compliance as a strategic advantage, operating as a trusted advisor who is known for clear-headed judgment, practical solutions, and sound regulatory instincts across domains.
