You'll lead annual compliance reviews, internal control testing, and conduct mock regulatory exams while supporting SEC and FINRA exams. You'll deliver onsite training to clients on regulatory requirements and best practices, and register them as broker-dealers or investment advisers. You'll train staff on firm processes, new regulations, and industry updates, while coaching junior team members and fostering a collaborative culture. You'll oversee client engagements, contribute to special projects, and lead firm initiatives such as business development, thought leadership, and internal training.
