About the Role

This is a high-ownership, individual-contributor role focused on end-to-end issue management for compliance within a bank partnership model. The role involves owning the inventory of compliance issues, developing corrective action plans, managing consumer remediation, and reporting to bank partners. Success requires a critical thinking approach, a drive to finish tasks, comfort with data and AI tools, and clear writing skills. The position offers the opportunity to build and mature a compliance program, working at the intersection of multiple departments and directly impacting customer outcomes.

Responsibilities

  • Own the issue inventory, including intake, classification, root cause analysis, target dates, status, and closure across all card programs and bank partners.
  • Log newly identified issues with critical details such as the nature of the problem, relevant regulations, start date, consumer harm cessation date, and affected customer count.
  • Reconcile the issue log with each bank partner's register to ensure consistency.
  • Maintain a detailed chronological record for each issue, documenting key events and knowledge.
  • Reassess aged issues and negotiate realistic remediation timelines.
  • Drive corrective action plans to validated closure, ensuring they include defect identification, resolution, owner, timeline, and proof of effectiveness.
  • Establish and document the date consumer harm stopped for all consumer-impacting issues.
  • Implement interim controls for issues where permanent fixes will take time.
  • Collaborate with Engineering, Product, and Operations to address underlying defects and ensure durable fixes.
  • Test and validate fixes before closing issues.
  • Escalate potential missed remediation dates or recurring issues in writing.
  • Scope impacted populations for consumer remediation, considering overlaps.
  • Design remediation plans, including delivery methods and handling for hard-to-reach customers.
  • Verify post-remediation that customers received the correct amounts and maintain audit trails.
  • Partner with Finance and Operations on payment execution and reconciliation.
  • Produce monthly issue logs for bank partners by a fixed deadline.
  • Adhere to and adapt to each bank partner's issue management guidance.
  • Respond to bank partner and examination requests regarding open issues.
  • Prepare issue management reporting for the Compliance Committee and the Board.
  • Improve issue management tooling and workflows, including automation.
  • Identify recurring issue patterns and develop preventive controls and monitoring.
  • Maintain organized and examination-ready issue records.
  • Provide coverage for other compliance functions as needed.

Requirements

  • Critical thinking skills to analyze problems with incomplete information and defend conclusions.
  • Proven ability to take a problem from identification through to verified resolution.
  • Experience using AI tools in daily work, with an understanding of their reliability and limitations.
  • Comfort with data analysis, including assessing data accuracy and identifying contradictions.
  • Clear and precise writing skills for corrective action plans, issue narratives, remediation summaries, and reporting.
  • Willingness to learn relevant regulations (e.g., Regulation Z, E, B, UDAAP, FCRA).
  • Strong organizational skills to manage numerous open items with deadlines.
  • Self-directed with the ability to identify and address issues without direct supervision.
