Job Description

About the Opportunity: A well-established, locally owned community bank in northwest Illinois is seeking a BSA Officer to join their team. This is a great opportunity for a banking professional with a strong foundation in compliance, operations, or lending who is ready to step into a vital role focused on protecting the institution and its customers.

The bank is known for its strong financial performance, deep community ties, and long-standing reputation for service. If you're looking to grow your career in BSA/AML compliance in a stable, mission-driven environment-this could be your next step.

What You'll Do:

Oversee all aspects of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), Anti-Money Laundering (AML), and OFAC compliance program

Conduct monitoring, investigations, and reporting of suspicious activity

Maintain and update policies, procedures, and risk assessments related to BSA/AML compliance

Collaborate with internal departments to ensure adherence to regulatory requirements

Prepare for and assist with internal and external audits and examinations

Stay current on regulatory updates and industry trends

What We're Looking For:

Prior experience in banking-ideally in compliance, operations, or lending

Working knowledge or strong interest in BSA/AML, OFAC, and related regulations

Ability to think critically, work independently, and exercise sound judgment

Excellent communication and organization skills

Strong attention to detail and a commitment to doing what's right

Preferred Qualifications:

3+ years of experience in banking

Familiarity with BSA/AML processes (training available for the right candidate)

CAMS certification or similar is a plus, but not required

Why This Role Stands Out:

Join a financially strong, highly rated institution with over a century of community presence

Be part of a close-knit team where your contributions are recognized and valued

Competitive compensation and benefits, including health insurance, retirement plan, and generous PTO

Work in a culture that prioritizes doing what's right-for both customers and employees
