Compliance Automation Specialist

Overview

The Compliance Automation Specialist serves as the dedicated information technology and data subject matter expert (SME) within the Compliance Testing function. The primary objective of this position is to bridge compliance testing requirements with the Bank’s data and technology environment — translating regulatory obligations and control expectations into repeatable, automated tests that leverage scripting and artificial intelligence (AI) to draw directly from source systems and data.

This role is central to the Bank’s shift to an automation-first testing model. The analyst will write and maintain scripts and apply AI-enabled tools to design, execute, and scale compliance tests across a large volume of regulatory obligations — reducing reliance on manual sampling while improving speed, consistency, and coverage. Applications include using AI to help interpret regulatory requirements, generate and refine test logic and code, analyze large data populations, and surface exceptions and anomalies for review.

This position is also the connective point between Compliance Testing and the enterprise Data and Information Technology teams. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable on both sides of the equation: they understand compliance and regulatory testing concepts and can also script, build, and validate automated and AI-driven test logic, and coordinate data access with IT and data engineering partners. Prior banking or financial services experience is essential to understanding the regulatory context, source systems, and data behind the Bank’s products and processes.

All use of AI must be applied responsibly, with appropriate human oversight, documentation, and validation of results consistent with the Bank’s model risk and AI governance expectations.
