About The Position

Column’s Correspondent Banking (CB) Compliance role will support the delivery of Column’s correspondent banking strategy as we expand into new geographies and onboard new banks. In this position, you will be responsible for implementing Column’s framework for onboarding correspondent banking relationships in a highly hands-on and execution-focused capacity.
This is a builder role for someone who thrives in operations-heavy environments, enjoys owning work end-to-end, and is comfortable with a scope that will continue to evolve as the business grows. You will have a critical impact in evaluating country-level risk, translating those risks into practical diligence requirements, designing rules to target geography and bank specific risks, and performing deep, end-to-end due diligence on correspondent bank partners globally.
While an in-person presence in the Bank’s Presidio-based office is strongly preferred, this role is open to remote applicants with the expectation of frequent travel.

Requirements

• 6-8+ years of regulatory, compliance or risk management experience with a focus on international financial activity.
• Ability to build and operational policies, procedures, and workflows
• Strong familiarity with underwriting geographic and political risks
• Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to create detailed, clear documentation for a diverse range of stakeholders
• Ability to jump into new situations and quickly solve problems, with an eye towards architecting solutions that will scale
• Hyper-organized approach to project management, including coordinating efforts across multiple teams; comfort juggling multiple projects and priorities is critical
• Scrappy, roll-up-your-sleeves attitude - we thrive because we work harder, are more creative, and have zero ego when it comes to getting our hands dirty to build a business
