BSA Officer

Compensation: $65,000-$85,000 based on experience

Employment Type: Full-Time Permanent

The Opportunity:

Join a financially strong, highly respected community bank with over a century of local service and national recognition as a top agricultural lender. This is a newly created BSA Officer role-ideal for someone who wants to build something meaningful from the ground up.

You'll take ownership of developing and leading the bank's BSA/AML compliance efforts while working closely with executive leadership.

Build and shape the BSA/AML function from the ground up

Report directly to bank leadership with a high degree of trust and support

Work for an independent, financially sound community bank with over $885 million in assets

Join a team that values local relationships, integrity, and personalized service

Be part of a bank consistently ranked among the top agricultural lenders in the country

Enjoy the benefits of a mission-driven, close-knit culture where your voice matters

Key Responsibilities:

Design, implement, and manage the BSA/AML/OFAC compliance program

Conduct ongoing monitoring, investigations, and suspicious activity reporting

Maintain up-to-date risk assessments, policies, and procedures

Collaborate across departments to support a strong compliance culture

Prepare for audits and regulatory exams, and respond to any findings

Stay current on all applicable laws, regulations, and best practices

What We're Looking For:

Banking experience required-compliance, operations, or lending preferred

Familiarity with BSA/AML and regulatory reporting requirements

Strong analytical skills and attention to detail

Ability to work independently, take initiative, and build processes from scratch

Excellent communication skills and sound judgment
