Regulatory Compliance Manager (CRCM) - Freelance AI Trainer

Mindrift Project Opportunity

Mindrift connects specialists with project-based AI opportunities for leading tech companies, focused on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems. Participation is project-based, not permanent employment.

What this opportunity involves

While each project involves unique tasks, contributors may:

• Design and evaluate rule application scenarios — reading a real compliance artifact (advertisement, disclosure, policy) against a specific regulation and citing the exact subsection that applies or is violated;
• Write OFAC/sanctions alert disposition cases with structured false-positive reasoning documentation, and escalation scenarios where a transaction must be blocked and reported;
• Build quarterly compliance testing scenarios: sample selection methodology, test design, findings documentation, and examiner-ready conclusion memos;
• Create Regulation E dispute eligibility cases applying the exact timing windows — 2-day, 60-day, and investigation windows — to specific dispute fact patterns, including liability tier and provisional credit obligations;
• Draft examiner request response scenarios testing completeness, format precision, and cover memo quality;
• Develop policy gap identification cases where the bank's internal policy is silent on a regulatory requirement, contradicts the regulation, or has not been updated to reflect a recent change;
• Design material-change impact analysis cases: identifying which internal policies, customer disclosures, training modules, and systems are affected by a regulatory update;
• Author audit finding remediation tracking scenarios with pattern recognition across a findings register (recurring findings, slipping dates, department-level patterns);
• Document all test cases with verified regulatory citations to the specific CFR subsection — never approximated, never fabricated.

What we look for

This opportunity is a good fit for U.S. banking compliance professionals, former federal examiners, and banking-regulatory attorneys open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Ideally, contributors will have:

• Degree in Finance, Law, Business, Economics, or related field — or equivalent professional experience; no specific degree is required if credentials (CRCM, CAMS) or examiner background are present;
• 3+ years of hands-on U.S. consumer banking compliance experience at a bank, consulting firm, or regulatory agency;
• Citation discipline as a non-negotiable habit — able to identify the exact CFR subsection that applies and flag uncertainty rather than approximate;
• Working knowledge of U.S. consumer protection regulations: Regulation Z (Truth in Lending / TILA), Regulation E (Electronic Fund Transfer Act), Regulation B (ECOA), UDAAP, and related rules;
• Familiarity with OFAC sanctions screening disposition logic — structured false-positive reasoning, escalation criteria, documentation requirements;
• Experience with examination management: responding to examiner requests, tracking remediation of findings, or conducting compliance testing with attestation memos;
• Ability to read an internal policy against its underlying regulation and identify silences, contradictions, and outdated provisions;
• CRCM (Certified Regulatory Compliance Manager) or CAMS (Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist) credential is a strong positive signal; former OCC, Fed, FDIC, or CFPB examiner status is equally strong;
• JD with banking-regulatory practice is a strong signal for citation-heavy tasks;
• Strong written English (C1+).
