Compliance and Regulatory Expert
About the role
As a Compliance and Regulatory Expert, you will serve as a subject matter expert to review and create AI-generated compliance, regulatory, and risk-related content. Your responsibilities include evaluating the quality of AI outputs, providing precise written feedback, fact-checking compliance claims, and developing high-quality compliance documentation. You will also assess regulatory interpretations, policy and control designs, and risk-based reasoning for accuracy and completeness. This contractor role is with SME Careers, an AI Data Services company supporting major AI organizations, and offers the opportunity to join their expert network for future projects.
Must have
- Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Business, Law, Finance, Risk/Compliance, Public Policy, or a related field (or equivalent professional experience).
- 5+ years of professional experience in compliance and/or regulatory roles (financial services, healthcare, tech/privacy, insurance, energy, or other regulated industries).
- Strong command of compliance fundamentals: risk-based compliance programs, control design, monitoring/testing, issue management, remediation tracking, and documentation standards.
- Experience interpreting regulations and translating them into policies, procedures, training, and operational controls.
- Familiarity with common frameworks and concepts (as applicable): GRC tooling, ISO-style controls, SOC 2 awareness, SOX awareness, AML/KYC basics, privacy concepts (GDPR/CCPA), vendor/third-party risk.
- Excellent judgment in identifying missing assumptions, overconfident claims, and “false certainty” in regulatory guidance; minimum C1 English proficiency.
- Strong writing skills: ability to produce clear, defensible documentation (policies, SOPs, control narratives, risk assessments).
- Reliable, self-directed, and able to deliver consistent quality in an hourly, remote contractor workflow across time zones.
Nice to have
- Professional certifications (e.g., CRCMP, CAMS, CCEP, CIPP/E, CISA, CIA, CRISC) are a plus.
- Prior experience with AI data training/annotation, compliance QA, audit/regulatory exams support, or policy editorial work is strongly preferred.
