Fintech Implementation Jobs in Delaware (NOW HIRING)

Work Arrangement: 

***This position is available as a hybrid position in our Wilmington, DE or Sioux Falls, SD office.*** 

The Vice President, Compliance Strategy & Process Automation is a senior individual contributor responsible for architecting and executing The Bancorp’s enterprise compliance transformation strategy. This role serves as the principal designer of compliance operating model optimization, regulatory traceability, control automation, and data-driven risk monitoring across the Bank’s lending, payments, fintech partnership, and deposit verticals. Given The Bancorp’s sponsor bank structure and embedded fintech relationships, this role ensures that regulatory obligations (FDIC, CFPB, FinCEN, OCC guidance as applicable, state regulators) are translated into scalable controls, automated workflows, and real-time monitoring capabilities across first- and second-line functions. This is not a people-management role. It is a strategic execution role requiring deep regulatory fluency, systems thinking, and the ability to drive cross-functional change across Compliance, Risk, Technology, Operations, and Fintech Partnership teams.

At The Bancorp, we’ve spent more than 25 years driving innovation in the financial services industry. As one of the first banks to embrace fintech, we combine technology, expertise and a forward-looking approach to deliver creative, real-world solutions. We work side by side with our partners to help them grow and innovate with confidence. Across Fintech Solutions, Institutional Banking, Commercial Lending and Real Estate Bridge Lending, we provide the people, processes, technology and banking capabilities that turn bold ideas into outcomes.

Join a team that brings urgency and rigor to every challenge and plays a direct role in driving growth for our clients and the communities we serve.
