About The Position

Make an impact where compliance, critical thinking, and problem solving come together. As a Compliance Testing Officer, you'll evaluate how well our business lines are meeting retail banking and BSA regulatory requirements, using a risk-based approach to design and execute testing that helps strengthen controls across the organization. A significant part of this role is research and critical thinking, as there isn't a process for every scenario and each test can look a little different from the last. This is a self-driven position for someone who enjoys digging into regulations, working through problems that don't come with a clear answer, and being viewed as a trusted advisor by the teams they support. If you like variety, independence, and work that genuinely influences how the business manages risk, this is a great fit. The Compliance Testing Officer executes risk-based testing across retail banking and BSA regulations and may assist with testing across our wealth divisions. You'll scope and design your tests, perform the testing, document your results, and communicate findings to management and the line of business, tracking any issues through to resolution. Because there isn't a precedent for every situation, you'll spend meaningful time researching regulatory requirements, forming a point of view, and helping business partners develop and validate effective controls. This role interacts regularly with senior and executive management, so the ability to clearly explain your thought process and the risk behind your conclusions is essential. Success requires strong critical thinking, sound judgment, and the ability to pivot and adjust when each test looks a little different. This is a collaborative, communication-driven team that plans together, shares feedback openly, and works through challenges as a group. Weekly check-ins and informal roundtables give everyone a place to bring questions, talk through findings, and learn from one another, whether it's a regulatory question, a testing approach, or how to present to a business line. The work is structured, detailed, and documentation-heavy, so it suits someone who is naturally research-oriented and takes pride in getting things right. At the same time, it's a role with a lot of independence, so the right person is comfortable figuring things out when there isn't a sample to review or a process already built. People here are willing to both give and receive feedback, and they support one another through it.
