Job description

Senior Manager, Compliance Monitoring & Risk Controls

*work visa sponsorship not presently available

Our client is a rapidly growing financial technology company that has built a highly automated approach to compliance monitoring, quality control, and risk oversight. Rather than relying on large teams performing manual reviews and sample-based audits, the organization leverages technology, data, and automation to continuously monitor critical lending and operational processes.

They are seeking a Senior Manager to help evolve and scale this capability. This individual will serve as the bridge between compliance, risk, data, product, engineering, and business operations. The role is ideal for someone who understands regulated financial services environments and has experience building or enhancing automated monitoring and control frameworks rather than relying solely on manual review processes.

Why this opportunity is unique

This is not a traditional quality control role built around manual reviews and large audit teams.

The organization has invested heavily in technology-driven monitoring and is looking for someone who can help shape the next generation of automated compliance and risk oversight. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to influence how controls are designed, monitored, measured, and improved across a rapidly growing financial services platform.

• Support remediation efforts when control failures or compliance issues are identified

Automation & Data-Driven Controls

• Partner closely with engineering and data teams to enhance automated monitoring capabilities
• Translate regulatory requirements, business rules, and operational risks into scalable control logic
• Help design and improve automated detection mechanisms, monitoring rules, and exception reporting
• Use data to identify patterns, trends, and opportunities to strengthen control effectiveness
• Contribute hands-on where necessary, including work involving SQL, Python, analytics, and monitoring tools

Regulatory, Audit & Governance Support

• Partner closely with legal and compliance leadership to understand regulatory obligations and examination requirements
• Own or support responses to audits, examinations, and compliance reviews
• Help ensure monitoring controls align to regulatory expectations and audit evidence requirements
• Build strong governance, reporting, and documentation practices around monitoring activities

Cross-Functional Leadership

• Work closely with legal, compliance, product, engineering, operations, and business leaders
• Influence stakeholders across the organization without relying solely on formal reporting authority
• Help drive accountability and timely resolution of findings and remediation activities
• Serve as a trusted partner on new products, business initiatives, and process changes

What we're looking for

Required

• Experience operating within a regulated financial services environment
• Strong understanding of compliance, risk, governance, audit, or quality control principles
• Ability to work across legal, compliance, technology, and business stakeholders
• Experience driving issue remediation and process improvement initiatives
• Comfort operating in a highly collaborative, fast-paced environment

Strongly Preferred

• Experience with automated monitoring or data-driven control frameworks
• Hands-on experience with SQL, Python, analytics, or similar technical tools
• Experience translating regulatory or business requirements into automated controls
