• This is a hands-on execution role, not a people leadership role
• You will not run the team, manage staff, or own the function’s strategy; the Head of Product Compliance owns those

• Execute risk-tiered review processes and maintain the standards libraries, templates, and precedent that keep reviews fast, consistent, and reusable across the function
• Operate AI-assisted review systems and agent-based workflows in areas such as marketing compliance review, regulatory change monitoring, and product risk assessment, and improve them based on what you see in daily use
• Conduct product risk assessments ahead of launch, identify gaps early, and drive them to resolution with product and engineering owners
• Partner with product and operations teams to investigate compliance issues, drive root-cause remediation, and strengthen preventative controls
• Coordinate day-to-day with bank partners on product and marketing approvals, producing documentation that withstands examiner and partner scrutiny
