Compliance Analyst

Column is a bank and software company built to simplify and fix the complex banking supply chain. We offer technology-forward banking solutions that cut out hundreds of vendors, middleware providers, and abstraction layers, ensuring a safer, more transparent, and less costly banking supply chain.

The Opportunity:

Column's Compliance team plays a critical role in ensuring the Bank grows safely. As a Compliance Analyst, you will be responsible for supporting the Compliance Testing function, leveraging regulatory compliance expertise to ensure our fintech partners’ programs are compliant and sustainable and meet the Bank’s expectations. This is a cross-functional role, working with both first- and second-line colleagues and interfacing directly with our fintech partners. This means exposure to a range of products, business models, and regulatory questions you won’t find at a traditional bank.

This role is a fixed-term contract, remote position with an initial contract duration of six months and the potential to extend based on performance.

What you'll do:

• Conduct compliance testing, both across Column’s products and services and at the Bank’s partners, as a contributor to Column’s Compliance Testing & Monitoring Program.

• Clearly document assessment findings, and own the drafting and reporting of results derived from the Compliance Testing Program.

• Identify potential areas of weakness (inadequate/ineffective controls, areas of non-compliance, etc.) within the Bank, and work with partners to strengthen the associated control environment.

• Monitor, interpret, and assess potential regulatory changes that may impact the Bank. Work with business, risk, and legal partners to ensure new regulatory requirements are clearly understood and processes are in place before their effective dates.

What you'll need to be successful:

• A Bachelor’s degree and/or equivalent experience.

• 3+ years in compliance or audit; experience at a regulated financial institution is a plus.

• Detail-oriented with excellent interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills.

• Experience navigating banking regulations and applying rules to the Bank’s products.

• Demonstrated project management skills and the ability to juggle execution across multiple stakeholders.

• Certified Regulatory Compliance Manager (CRCM), Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS), or equivalent certification is a plus.

• Curiosity, eagerness to learn, and excitement about regulatory compliance and partner banking.

What you'll get from us:

• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision plans, including options that are 100% covered by Column for you.

• FSA and HSA account options to enable use of pre-tax money for medical and dependent care expenses.

• Paid PTO, including 15 days of vacation and 10 days of sick leave each year.

• Eligibility to participate in Column’s 401k plan, including self-directed brokerage options.
