Job description

Sometimes it's coordinating a vendor review.

Sometimes it's researching a regulatory question.

Sometimes another department needs help understanding what a requirement means for them.

As our Compliance Administrator, you'll help connect those pieces. You'll research compliance issues, coordinate vendor management and business continuity activities, maintain important systems and documentation, and help teams across the credit union navigate regulatory requirements.

Some people track the details. Others dig deeper to understand what those details mean.

What You'll Be Supporting

This role includes the coordination and administrative responsibilities you'd expect in compliance, but your impact goes beyond those responsibilities. You'll:

• Coordinate vendor due diligence reviews and risk assessments, working directly with decision makers across the credit union.
• Support business continuity through department reviews, annual testing, training, meetings, and documentation.
• Review disclosures and agreements, research potential compliance issues, and help determine how regulations apply.
• Turn regulatory information into clear, useful guidance for departments across the organization.
• Maintain compliance, vendor management, and business continuity systems, records, policies, procedures, and user access.
• Track audit and exam responses and supporting documentation to make sure information is accurate, current, and complete.

Why This Role Matters

• Build deeper knowledge of credit union compliance
• Research and work through real regulatory questions
• Partner with leaders and teams across the credit union
• Support vendor management and business continuity
• Grow into managing key responsibilities independently

That variety is what makes this role matter.

You Might Be a Great Fit If...

• You like to read, research, ask questions, and understand the whybehind a requirement, not just check a box.
• You bring 3-5 years of financial institution experience and a broad understanding of credit union compliance and regulatory requirements. You're organized, comfortable working independently, and able to communicate professionally with people at different levels of the organization.
• Most importantly, you have the judgment to work through a problem, make decisions within your scope, and know when you need to bring someone else into the conversation.

Details Have an Impact

• A vendor review completed thoroughly. A disclosure reviewed carefully. A regulatory question researched before it becomes a bigger issue.
• Those things may happen behind the scenes, but they help the credit union stay prepared and make informed decisions.
• The answers aren't always obvious. That's why curiosity, sound judgment, and follow-through matter.
