FVP Compliance Systems Administrator
located in Manhattan
Base salary $165-175k depending on skills and experience
Are you a tech-savvy compliance professional with a passion for safeguarding financial systems from money laundering and sanctions risks? We’re looking for a Compliance Systems Administrator who will play a critical role in the integrity and performance of our regulatory technology platforms, supporting AML monitoring, sanctions screening, and more.
This is your chance to step into a high-impact role where technology, compliance, and risk management intersect — and where your expertise will directly support our mission to prevent financial crime and ensure regulatory excellence.
What You’ll Do
As a key member of our Compliance team, you will:
-
Lead system strategy: Develop a forward-looking roadmap to enhance or replace critical compliance platforms.
-
Be a tech translator: Define business requirements and evaluate vendor solutions to match evolving regulatory needs.
-
Own end-to-end system performance: Configure, test, validate, and continuously optimize AML and sanctions screening systems.
-
Troubleshoot & resolve: Dive into technical issues across monitoring, screening, and core banking systems — and resolve them efficiently.
-
Validate and reconcile: Ensure data integrity and accurate system performance by reconciling inputs and outputs.
-
Tune and optimize: Analyze rules, parameters, and models to enhance detection capabilities and reduce false positives.
-
Manage user access: Oversee permissions, roles, and periodic audits to ensure secure and appropriate system access.
-
Own compliance tech governance: Create written documentation around model validation, change management, and system upgrades.
-
Be audit-ready: Support regulatory exams, internal audits, and ongoing business continuity planning.
-
Stay sharp: Remain current on compliance tech trends, regulations, and best practices through ongoing education and industry events.
What You Bring
-
7+ years in financial services or a compliance-related field, with deep technical experience in AML and sanctions systems.
-
Strong knowledge of U.S. banking operations, especially commercial and middle-market lending.
-
Proven ability to analyze complex systems and implement effective technical solutions.
-
Excellent communication skills to bridge technical and regulatory teams — and to collaborate with vendors and auditors.
-
A structured, detail-oriented approach with the ability to manage shifting priorities and multiple projects.
-
Familiarity with system change management, access control, and compliance model governance.
-
Supervisory or team leadership experience is a plus.
Education & Certifications
-
Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Business Administration, or Finance.
-
Additional certifications or training in compliance technology, AML systems, or risk modeling are advantageous.
Why This Role Matters:
In today’s world of evolving threats and complex regulations, technology-driven compliance is a frontline defense. As our Compliance Systems Administrator, you will be more than a system owner — you’ll be a guardian of trust, a strategic partner to compliance leadership, and a driver of innovation.
If you’re ready to take ownership of systems that support our commitment to financial crime prevention, this is your opportunity to lead with purpose.
