II. Regulatory Compliance & Testing

  • Compliance Testing: Perform periodic testing of consumer loan files (Mortgage, Auto, Personal) to ensure adherence to Regulation Z (TILA), Regulation B, and TRID.
  • Policy Maintenance: Review and update internal compliance manuals and procedures to reflect changes in federal or state law.
  • Audit Support: Assist in the preparation for internal audits and external regulatory examinations (FDIC/OCC/CFPB).

III. Advisory & Training

  • Business Unit Liaison: Serve as a subject matter expert for the retail and mortgage lending teams, providing guidance on compliant marketing and disclosure requirements.
  • Risk Mitigation: Identify gaps in the compliance program and recommend corrective action plans to senior leadership.
  • Training Support: Assist in developing and delivering compliance training modules for bank staff.

Technical Qualifications

  • Experience: 3+ years of experience in consumer compliance, specifically within a bank or financial services firm.
  • Regulatory Knowledge: Deep understanding of ECOA, HMDA, TILA, and UDAAP.
