Contributors should have a background in compliance or regulatory affairs, strong written English, and attention to exact citations. Projects are paid per hour and vary by assignment.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of compliance, audit, legal, risk management, or financial services experience.
• Current or recent experience in compliance & regulatory roles, financial crimes, or adjacent roles.

Responsibilities

• Design and evaluate rule application scenarios - reading a compliance artifact (advertisement, disclosure, policy) against a specific regulation and citing the exact subsection that applies or is violated;
• Write sanctions alert disposition cases with structured false-positive reasoning documentation and escalation scenarios;
• Build compliance testing scenarios: sample selection, test design, findings documentation, and examiner-ready conclusion memos;
• Develop policy gap identification cases where an internal policy is silent on a regulatory requirement, contradicts the regulation, or has not been updated to reflect a recent change;
• Document all test cases with verified regulatory citations to the specific subsection - never approximated, never fabricated.
