Job description

Happen Bank (formerly LendingClub) is built around a simple purpose: to clear the way to help people turn intention into action, and action into financial progress. That means offering focused products, a frictionless mobile‑first experience, and clear terms with no gotchas. Respect and fairness is part of our DNA, and that ideal shapes how we work, how we treat each other, and how we invest in our employees and our community. Join us in using data, bold thinking, and a commitment to innovation to help clear the way for millions of Americans to achieve more.

About the Role

This compliance advisory team helps the business deliver products and experiences that meet regulatory requirements while supporting responsible growth. This role is responsible for driving compliance outcomes across the bank’s deposit and lending products by providing trusted advisory support, identifying and mitigating regulatory risk, and strengthening controls that enable sustainable business performance. You will work closely with cross‑functional partners to influence decisions, improve processes, and ensure compliance considerations are embedded throughout the product and customer lifecycle.

What You’ll Do

• Assist with the assessment of all regulatory risks and controls related to deposit and lending products, including identifying gaps in controls, highlighting areas of highest risk, and developing appropriate risk mitigation strategies.
• Participate in discussions with senior management on strategic priorities, risk assessments, regulatory change management, compliance monitoring and testing, training, issues management, consumer complaints, and third‑party risk.
• Develop and maintain policies, standards, and other documented measures to formally set forth the principles and practices of regulatory compliance related to deposit and lending operations.
• Work with business leaders and management to socialize compliance principles and practices and assist with developing procedures, systems, and processes to execute policy requirements.
• Assist the Compliance Program Office with the development of regulation‑based training and targeted role‑based training covering the laws, regulations, and policy requirements related to the product operations.
• Collaborate with Testing and Monitoring Teams to establish strategies and protocols to assess and measure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and identify defects and deficiencies requiring corrective action.
• Ensure material compliance issues identified by any means and through any source are recorded, tracked, and reported to ensure their appropriate and timely resolution.
• Coordinate with Regulatory Change Management to identify new or changes to laws, regulations, and regulatory guidance and work with business management to operationalize/implement requirements.
• Prepare, deliver, and effectively communicate compliance analysis and reporting to oversight committees and management.

About You

• 6+ years of banking or financial services experience, primarily in compliance, risk management and/or audit functions, and a bachelor’s degree or higher, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
• 3+ years of direct experience in deposits and lending compliance with a focus on consumer regulations.
• Proficient in consumer compliance and related consumer protection regulations (e.g., DD, TISA, ECOA, UDAAP, TILA, FCRA, MLA/SCRA, TCPA, GLBA, EFTA, ESIGN), state laws and safety and soundness risks, and the internal controls needed to mitigate those risks.
• You understand how to apply AI to complex, high‑stakes work — not just for efficiency, but to unlock better outcomes and set a high bar for responsible use.
• You foster a culture of innovation by adding AI where it genuinely adds value, while keeping accountability sharp.
• Experience working in a fast‑paced dynamic environment with the ability to deliver quality results in the face of competing priorities, aggressive timelines, and evolving direction.
• Ability to independently manage complex assignments, exercise sound judgment, and balance regulatory requirements with business objectives.
• Experience partnering with stakeholders across multiple functions and influencing decisions through effective communication and trusted advisory relationships.
• Strong analytical, organizational, and problem‑solving skills with attention to detail and a risk‑based mindset.
• Demonstrated ability to identify opportunities for process improvement and drive enhancements that strengthen compliance outcomes.

Nice to Have

• Professional certification(s) such as Certified Regulatory Compliance Manager (CRCM).
• Experience supporting regulatory examination and compliance audits, including developing and tracking timely corrective action.
