About the role

Compliance Technology Program Lead to oversee AI-driven compliance tooling, model governance, and data infrastructure for ML/heuristic detection in fiat and virtual currency products. Partners with ML, Engineering, and BSA/AML Policy to provide end-to-end technical oversight across the model development lifecycle and ensure exam-ready documentation and regulator-defensible outputs.

Responsibilities

  • Build with Modern AI Tools: Use AI agents (Claude and similar LLM-based tools) to automate oversight, monitoring, and documentation, including drafting requirements and model performance reporting.
  • Design human-in-the-loop checkpoints to ensure outputs remain defensible to regulators and independent monitors.
  • Establish and maintain model and data governance frameworks aligned with SR 11-7, SR 26-2, and OCC 2011-12; provide effective challenge throughout the model lifecycle and ensure exam-ready documentation with BSA/AML Policy Team and CAX stakeholders.
  • Lead Ongoing Monitoring: Design and develop real-time dashboards to monitor model health, input data monitoring, and model performance.
  • Set standards for threshold tuning and Below the Line (BTL) testing controls.
  • Establish frameworks for detecting when model performance degrades and requires tuning or deprecation; ensure changes are within risk appetite and defensible.
  • Provide End-to-End Oversight of Model Development for Transaction Monitoring, including heuristic and rules-based detection logic, threshold settings, and data pipelines for alerts.
  • Oversee blockchain analytics and screening tools (TRM, Chainalysis) for typology coverage and integration with downstream investigations.
  • Oversee Sanctions Screening models (LexisNexis) including list management, fuzzy-match tuning, and false-positive reduction.
  • Oversee Customer Risk Scoring models, including segmentation logic and periodic recalibration.
  • Oversee design and validation of AI-driven case resolution (LLM/ML-based) that triages, enriches, or dispositions alerts with explainability and auditability for regulators.

Qualifications

  • 7+ years of experience in compliance technology at regulated financial institutions, or as a consultant
  • Hands-on experience building with modern AI tools (Claude, GPT or comparable LLM-based agents) and automating work in production
  • Experience with both Machine Learning and Heuristic models across Transaction Monitoring, Sanctions Screening, and Customer Risk Scoring
  • Experience with input data quality monitoring and model performance monitoring
  • Experience conducting AML model validations aligned with SR 11-7 and OCC 2011-12
  • Experience responding to examinations and consent orders, and working with regulators and independent monitors
  • Experience with virtual currencies and related transaction monitoring and sanctions screening considerations
  • Familiarity with blockchain analytics and screening tools (Chainalysis, TRM Labs)
  • Track record of driving cross-functional initiatives
  • Understanding of regulated financial services and corresponding compliance obligations
  • Familiarity with statistical concepts related to machine learning
  • Expertise in data analytics and visualization
