Compliance Officer

Compliance Officer
We’re partnered with a well-run community bank that takes a proactive approach to compliance. This is a clean organization with a strong, well-established program that focuses on identifying and addressing risk before it ever becomes a regulatory issue.

This isn’t a turnaround. It’s an opportunity to step into a program that’s been consistently well-rated across Compliance, BSA, and CRA, and keep it running at a high level while continuing to evolve alongside the bank’s growth.

Key Responsibilities:

• Oversee the bank’s Compliance, BSA, and CRA programs
• Lead and develop a team of compliance and BSA analysts
• Serve as the primary point of contact for regulators, auditors, and examiners
• Manage compliance monitoring, risk assessments, and reporting processes
• Maintain and update compliance policies, procedures, and internal controls
• Oversee CRA performance, HMDA reporting, and Fair Lending activities
• Chair the Compliance Committee and provide regular updates to leadership
• Prepare and deliver reporting to the Board
• Provide guidance across the bank on regulatory questions, marketing reviews, and operational decisions
• Address consumer complaints, subpoenas, garnishments, and related matters
• Partner with internal teams and leadership on risk identification and mitigation strategies
• Participate in the bank’s Risk Committee and contribute to forward-looking risk assessments
• Oversee and enhance the bank’s compliance training program

Qualifications:

• 7+ years of banking compliance experience, including lending and deposit regulations
• Strong working knowledge of CRA, HMDA, and overall compliance frameworks
• Exposure to BSA/AML oversight; CAMS or similar is a plus
• Experience interacting with regulators and managing exams
• Prior leadership or oversight of staff preferred
• Strong communication skills and ability to navigate complex or sensitive situations
• Self-starter comfortable operating with autonomy

Compensation & Benefits:

• As required by local law, Highland Consulting Group believes $90,000–$100,000+ to be a reasonable starting base compensation for this role for individuals hired into positions in geographies that require salary range disclosure. Determining compensation for this role depends upon a number of factors, including but not limited to licensure and certification requirements, office location and geographical considerations, and the individual’s skill set, experience, and training.
• Stable, growing organization with strong performance history
• Flexible, family-oriented culture
• Resources and support to continue building out the compliance function
