Vice President, Compliance Officer

Vice President, Compliance Officer

Denver, CO or Salt Lake City, UT | $150k-$175k base + 25% bonus + equity

Own two programs. Build both from the ground up. Report straight to the person who runs second and third line.

This is a high-growth commercial bank that's still small enough to move fast and flat enough that you'll never be three layers removed from the decisions that matter. It rebranded and repositioned itself as a serious commercial banking player, and it's building the risk and compliance function to match.

Right now, CRA and vendor management sit with the same person who's about to step into a CRO-track role. That person needs a partner. Not someone to hand busywork to, someone who can take real ownership of two programs that are usually run by two different people at two different banks.

What you'll actually be doing

• Running the CRA program end to end: policy, performance tracking, and working with bankers to build lending programs that actually get sold, not just filed away
• Owning third party risk and vendor management: the system, the reviews, the reporting, the relationships with every business owner who has a vendor
• Getting taught the half of this you haven't done before, by people who've done it at scale

Who fits

You don't need to tick both boxes already. If you've got CRA experience and want to learn vendor management, or vice versa, that's the point of this role, not a gap to explain away. What matters more is whether you've got seasoning at a senior level and whether you actually want to build something rather than maintain what's already there.

If you've spent your career at a bank where everything was already built and you were one voice among many, this probably isn't for you. If you've ever wished you had more room to be creative with how a program actually runs, this might be exactly it.

The practical bits

• Based in Denver or Salt Lake City, in office 4 days a week
• Relocation covered for the right person
• Reports directly into the department head, no layers in between
• Base up to $175k, 25% annual bonus, sign on equity, three year vest

If you want more exposure, more ownership, and a seat at the table earlier than you'd get almost anywhere else in banking, this is worth a conversation.
