Overview

As the Foris DAX National Trust Bank’s Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), the Head of Compliance will monitor operations to ensure personnel adhere to relevant policies and procedures, manage the compliance function effectively, and meet compliance standards to the satisfaction of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).

The CCO will implement and maintain compliance policies and procedures and oversee relevant Legal and Finance policies. The role includes coordinating with other officers to conduct an annual risk assessment and ensuring personnel are periodically trained on the Bank’s compliance policies and procedures. The CCO will work with external auditors and internal testing teams to audit the Bank’s compliance with respect to fiduciary activities and will collaborate with the Treasurer and the Information Security Officer to support the required SOC audits.

The CCO will report to the Board and the Audit Committee regularly on the status of compliance and all material incidents of non-compliance to the President as soon as practicable, and to the Board directly where appropriate.

Key Responsibilities

• Policy Development: Design, implement, and maintain the bank’s overarching compliance policies in alignment with OCC Heightened Standards
• Risk Assessment: Conduct enterprise-wide compliance risk assessments to identify, measure, and mitigate "compliance risk" across all business lines
• Monitoring & Testing: Establish a robust second-line-of-defense monitoring program to ensure internal controls are functioning as intended
• Exam Management: Serve as the primary point of contact for OCC examiners. Lead the bank through periodic examinations and ensure timely remediation of any MRAs
• Regulatory Change Management: Monitor changes in federal laws (e.g., Dodd-Frank, Consumer Financial Protection Act) and adapt operations accordingly
• Product Review: Provide compliance sign-off on all new financial products, marketing materials, and digital banking features
• Complaint Management: Ensure satisfactory resolution of client complaints in a timely and fair manner
• Provide regular "State of Compliance" briefings to the Board of Directors
• Escalate significant compliance breaches or high-risk findings directly to the President and to the Board where appropriate

Qualifications

• Minimum of 12+ years in banking compliance, with at least 5 years in a senior compliance leadership role at an OCC-regulated National Bank
• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Business, or Law (JD or MBA strongly preferred)
• CRCM (Certified Regulatory Compliance Manager) is mandatory. CAMS certification is a significant plus
• Deep knowledge of the OCC’s Comptroller’s Handbook and the ability to interpret complex federal statutes
• Demonstrated leadership experience managing high-performing compliance teams and interaction with C-suite executives and Board Directors
• Experience conducting presentations in large groups and developing senior level board reporting
• Understanding of cryptocurrencies or a strong interest in learning

Skills and Competencies

• Ability to make difficult, time-sensitive decisions
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex regulatory jargon for business stakeholders
• Unimpeachable Ethics and the fortitude to stand firm on regulatory obligations even when they conflict with short-term commercial goals
• Comfortable working at the frontier of finance where products and services may require the development of new best practices
• Strong, effective organizational skills with a focus on producing detailed high-quality output
• Highly developed communication skills, both verbal and written
