As Block's compliance program grows in scale and complexity, we need dedicated, expert-level oversight of how compliance issues are identified, triaged, and governed. This role ensures emerging risks receive consistent, rigorous attention from the moment they surface — and builds the intake and lookback processes that keep our program audit-ready and regulator-defensible across AML/BSA, Sanctions, and Consumer Protection. You will manage key elements of the issues management lifecycle, with a focus on pre-issue identification and lookback oversight. This role sits within the Compliance Issues Management Oversight (CIMO) program on the Regulatory Compliance Strategy (RCS) team and reports to the RCS Lead. You'll be the centralized point of contact for teams surfacing potential compliance issues — advising them from discovery through formal submission, coordinating cross-functional remediation, and ensuring robust lookback governance. If you're looking for high-visibility, high-autonomy work at the intersection of compliance strategy, issues management, and technical execution, this role was built for you.
Job Responsibility
Serve as the centralized point of contact for teams identifying potential compliance issues — providing end-to-end advisory from discovery through formal submission and resolution, leading intake triage with consistent risk criteria and facilitating root cause analysis with subject-matter experts
Convene and lead cross-functional working groups to assess potential issues, classify scope, determine governance track assignments, provide challenge, and coordinate remediation approach, timelines, and ownership across teams — particularly where technical dependencies exist
Govern lookback activities across AML/BSA, Sanctions, and Consumer Protection remediations — ensuring lookback methodology is applied, tracked, and completed as a prerequisite to issue closure
Develop and maintain intake procedures, decision trees, and classification criteria to support consistent application across the organization
Perform quality reviews on issue documentation, action plans, evidence packages, and closure submissions to ensure they meet regulatory and internal standards
Identify and implement opportunities to automate issues management workflows using AI and automation tools to scale oversight capacity
Partner with the CIMO and enterprise issues management team on system-of-record integrity, reporting alignment, and tooling, and track and report on program metrics to inform leadership and regulatory reporting
Requirements
8+ years of experience in compliance issues management, remediation oversight, or governance within a regulated financial services environment (banking, fintech, payments)
Deep knowledge of anti-money laundering (BSA/AML), Sanctions/OFAC, and Consumer Protection regulations, and associated risks and typologies
Demonstrated experience managing end-to-end issue lifecycles — from identification through root cause analysis, action plan development, remediation execution, and closure
Experience with regulatory examinations, enhanced regulatory oversight, and/or monitor engagement
Strong data and technical fluency — ability to interpret data outputs, evaluate model performance, understand system architectures, and assess technical remediation approaches
Excellent cross-functional and organizational, presentation, verbal, and written communication skills
Experience facilitating divergent conversations with senior management and driving accountability across stakeholders who do not report to you
Experience leveraging AI, automation, and workflow tooling to drive efficiency in compliance processes — including familiarity with how AI/ML models are used in compliance monitoring, and comfort operating in environments where automation augments human judgment
