CornerStone Professional Placement has partnered with a growing financial institution in their search for a SVP of QC Bank Compliance. This is a highly visible leadership opportunity for an accomplished banking compliance professional who can take a strategic approach to building, maturing, and transforming a compliance quality control function. The organization is undergoing significant modernization, reviewing manual processes, implementing automation, and creating greater efficiencies across its banking operations. The VP of QC Bank Compliance will have the opportunity to influence that transformation while partnering with a formidable senior leadership team. This position reports directly to the Bank President and leads a team of approximately five compliance professionals. The ideal candidate will bring broad banking compliance expertise, prior OCC exposure, strong executive presence, and a track record of building or materially improving compliance programs. Just as importantly, we are looking for a servant leader who can coach, develop, and elevate their team while building strong partnerships across the organization.

• Provide practical, solutions-oriented guidance and effective challenge while building collaborative relationships throughout the organization.


• Oversee compliance testing across consumer compliance, deposits, lending, BSA/AML, OFAC, fair lending, CRA, privacy, operational compliance, and other applicable banking regulations.


• Evaluate processes and controls, identify gaps and root causes, and develop actionable recommendations that support sustainable remediation.

• Support regulatory examinations and maintain effective relationships and communication with the OCC and other applicable regulatory stakeholders.


• Contribute compliance expertise to major operational transformation initiatives, including modernization of the Bank's loan origination processes and systems.


• Identify opportunities to leverage technology, automation, reporting, and data to create a more efficient and best-in-class compliance function.

Requirements

• 10+ years of progressive experience in banking compliance, compliance testing, quality control, internal audit, risk management, regulatory examination, or a closely related banking function.


• Demonstrated experience building, transforming, or materially strengthening a banking compliance, QC, testing, monitoring, or second-line review program.


• Broad knowledge of consumer and operational banking compliance, including lending and deposit regulations, fair lending, UDAAP, CRA, BSA/AML, OFAC, privacy, and related federal and state requirements.


• Prior experience interacting with the OCC, regulatory examiners, senior executives, and/or Boards of Directors.


• Strong understanding of risk-based testing, control evaluation, testing methodology, issue management, remediation, and regulatory examination readiness.


• Proven people leadership experience with a genuine interest in coaching, mentoring, training, and developing employees.


• Strong emotional intelligence, executive presence, communication skills, and ability to influence across organizational lines.


• A collaborative, servant-leadership approach with the ability to hold teams accountable while building strong relationships across Compliance, Internal Audit, Operations, Finance, and other functions.


• Experience with core banking and compliance technology; exposure to Jack Henry, Verafin, Cognos, Synergy, or similar platforms is preferred.


• Experience helping an organization move from heavily manual processes toward greater automation and efficiency is highly desirable.
