THE IDEAL CANDIDATE
The ideal candidate will thrive in a fast-paced, start-up-like setting as we build a new compliance structure that aligns with the bank’s size, complexity, and risk profile. In this role, you’ll need to be strategic, tactical, collaborative and creative in your approach. You will manage day-to-day operations while also helping design and implement a forward-thinking compliance program for the future.
Beyond technical expertise, we’re looking for someone with an entrepreneurial mindset—someone who can “roll up their sleeves”, takes the initiative and can anticipate needs before they arise. A comfort level with ambiguity and the ability to excel in a dynamic, evolving landscape are essential as the US Compliance team redefines the bank’s compliance program and structure.
Most importantly, the right candidate is seeking an intellectual challenge, has a desire to learn, and is committed to building something impactful from the ground up. At TD Bank, you’ll have the unique opportunity to help shape the future of the bank while collaborating with a team of enthusiastic colleagues dedicated to setting new industry standards.
