[Hiring] Compliance Analyst @Column

Role Description

Column's Compliance team plays a critical role in ensuring the Bank grows safely. As a Compliance Analyst, you will be responsible for supporting the Compliance Testing function, leveraging regulatory compliance expertise to ensure our fintech partners’ programs are compliant and sustainable and meet the Bank’s expectations. This is a cross-functional role, working with both first- and second-line colleagues and interfacing directly with our fintech partners. This means exposure to a range of products, business models, and regulatory questions you won’t find at a traditional bank. This role is a great opportunity for someone who is passionate about regulatory compliance and wants hands-on experience testing a wide variety of fintech products, partners, and business models to accelerate their compliance career.

This role is a fixed-term contract, remote position with an initial contract duration of six months and the potential to extend based on performance.

What you'll do:

• Conduct compliance testing, both across Column’s products and services and at the Bank’s partners, as a contributor to Column’s Compliance Testing & Monitoring Program.
• Clearly document assessment findings, and own the drafting and reporting of results derived from the Compliance Testing Program.
• Identify potential areas of weakness (inadequate/ineffective controls, areas of non-compliance, etc.) within the Bank, and work with partners to strengthen the associated control environment.
• Monitor, interpret, and assess potential regulatory changes that may impact the Bank. Work with business, risk, and legal partners to ensure new regulatory requirements are clearly understood and processes are in place before their effective dates.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree and/or equivalent experience.
• 3+ years in compliance or audit; experience at a regulated financial institution is a plus.
• Detail-oriented with excellent interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills.
• Experience navigating banking regulations and applying rules to the Bank’s products.
• Demonstrated project management skills and the ability to juggle execution across multiple stakeholders.
• Certified Regulatory Compliance Manager (CRCM), Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS), or equivalent certification a plus.
• Curiosity, eagerness to learn, and excitement about regulatory compliance and partner banking.

• 💳 FSA and HSA account options to enable use of pre-tax money for medical and dependent care expenses.
• 🌴 Paid PTO, including 15 days of vacation and 10 days of sick leave each year.
