Compliance Risk Manager - Banking Advisory

As Mercury continues to scale, maintaining strong compliance execution and monitoring across customer-facing activities is critical. The Compliance Risk Manager, *Banking Advisory is an experienced individual contributor who supports the Compliance Advisory function through high-quality execution of reviews, monitoring, validation, and documentation under established frameworks.

We are seeking a highly motivated compliance professional to join our Compliance Advisory team. In this role, you will work autonomously on regulatory based review and monitoring activities, owning assigned work from start to finish while operating within defined standards, processes, and escalation paths. You will help surface emerging risks, contribute to continuous improvement of monitoring practices, and support team-level goals through disciplined execution and reporting.

In this role you will:  

• Independently execute compliance monitoring and targeted validation activities across defined channels (e.g., customer communications, sales interactions, marketing activity) using approved scripts, sampling approaches, and procedures
• Own assigned monitoring and validation work end-to-end, including evidence collection, documentation, follow-ups, and timely completion of deliverables
• Identify, document, and classify findings, trends, or repeat observations, and escalate issues appropriately using established escalation paths
• Support validation of remediation actions through follow-up testing and confirmation reviews
• Prepare clear, accurate summaries of monitoring results to support team-level reporting and Advisory leadership visibility
• Execute assigned customer-facing and marketing collateral compliance reviews in accordance with established standards and review criteria
• Contribute ideas for improving monitoring efficiency, documentation quality, or review processes within existing team frameworks

You should have: 

• 3+ years of relevant experience in compliance, risk, monitoring, QA, or testing preferably within a FDIC insured bank, but a  fintech would also be acceptable
• Demonstrated ability to independently execute moderately complex reviews or monitoring activities with minimal day-to-day guidance
• Experience applying defined standards, scripts, or criteria to assess customer-facing materials, sales practices, or communications
• Strong documentation discipline and attention to detail, with the ability to produce audit-ready evidence
• Ability to synthesize review outcomes into clear, structured summaries that support team-level decision-making
• Comfort operating in some ambiguity, asking clarifying questions, and escalating issues when guidance or risk tolerance is unclear
• A bias for action and accountability, with the ability to manage timelines and deliverables for assigned work independently
• Curiosity and willingness to deepen understanding of Mercury products, regulatory requirements, and compliance risk drivers
