Deputy Chief Compliance Officer / Deputy BSA Officer, Builders Bank & Trust

Block is one company built from many blocks, all united by the same purpose of economic empowerment. The blocks that form our foundational teams — People, Finance, Counsel, Hardware, Information Security, Platform Infrastructure Engineering, and more — provide support and guidance at the corporate level. They work across business groups and around the globe, spanning time zones and disciplines to develop inclusive People policies, forecast finances, give legal counsel, safeguard systems, nurture new initiatives, and more. Every challenge creates possibilities, and we need different perspectives to see them all. Bring yours to Block.

Block is pursuing an OCC charter to form Builders Bank & Trust, a proposed uninsured national trust bank. Builders Bank is being organized to exercise fiduciary powers and conduct trust company operations in accordance with the National Bank Act and 12 CFR Part 9. The bank's core activities will include digital asset custody, safekeeping, and related fiduciary services for its clients.

The Role

We are building a compliance program designed to enable Block and support the establishment of Builders Bank. We seek a Deputy Chief Compliance Officer who is builder-focused and can hold the bar to OCC standards without losing the operating tempo that has defined Block since inception. The Deputy Chief Compliance Officer supports the Chief Compliance Officer / BSA-AML (CCO/BSA) Officer in the design, implementation, and ongoing administration of Block Trust Bank’s compliance management system and BSA/AML program. This role is dedicated to the trust bank charter team and is responsible for helping the leadership implement compliance architecture to maintain and ensure that the bank maintains an effective, independent, and well-documented compliance function appropriate for a federally chartered national trust bank supervised by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).

The Deputy CCO is a hands-on compliance leader who assists with day-to-day building and execution of the trust bank’s compliance program, including BSA/AML controls, OFAC sanctions compliance, customer due diligence, transaction monitoring oversight, regulatory change management, compliance testing, issue remediation, and examination readiness. This role works closely with the CCO, Risk Lead, COO, CFO, CISO, Legal, and relevant first-line teams while maintaining appropriate independence from revenue-generating business activities.
