  • Working knowledge of consumer credit regulations including TILA/Reg Z, ECOA/Reg B, EFTA/Reg E, FCRA, SCRA, MLA, and TCPA.
  • Ability to translate complex regulatory obligations into automated data logic and rule-based detective controls.
  • Experience using AI-assisted development tools for query building, troubleshooting, and workflow automation.
