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 compliance, regulatory, and risk-related content for AI training purposes. The role involves evaluating AI-generated outputs for accuracy, clarity, and adherence to compliance standards, providing written feedback, and developing high-quality compliance documentation. You will also assess regulatory interpretations, policy and control designs, and risk-based reasoning, ensuring the reliability and integrity of AI model outputs. This position is with SME Careers, a subsidiary of SuperAnnotate, which provides AI data services to major AI companies and labs. The role is remote, hourly, and contract-based, with no immediate project but future opportunities for qualified candidates.
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.
