• Maintain and continuously improve the compliance management system (CMS), including policies, procedures, training logs, risk assessments, and monitoring and testing programs
• Conduct and oversee third‑party vendor risk assessments and ensure ongoing monitoring meets regulatory standards and internal policy requirements
• Review and approve customer‑facing materials and marketing collateral for compliance accuracy, required disclosures, and alignment with UDAAP principles
• Assist with ad hoc compliance requests from our Partner Bank and serve as an effective point of contact for Partner Bank stakeholders on compliance matters
• Monitor regulatory updates and communicate key changes and compliance implications to relevant internal stakeholders
• Provide practical compliance guidance to Product, Marketing, and Operations on new initiatives and cross‑functional projects
