Regulatory Examination Manager

It all started with an idea at Block in 2013. Initially built to take the pain out of peer-to-peer payments, Cash App has gone from a simple product with a single purpose to a dynamic ecosystem, developing unique financial products, including Afterpay/Clearpay, to provide a better way to send, spend, invest, borrow and save to our 50+ million monthly active customers. We want to redefine the world’s relationship with money to make it more relatable, instantly available, and universally accessible.

Today, Cash App has thousands of employees working globally across office and remote locations, with a culture geared toward innovation, collaboration and impact. We’ve been a distributed team since day one, and many of our roles can be done remotely from the countries where Cash App operates. No matter the location, we tailor our experience to ensure our employees are creative, productive, and happy.

The Role

Block's US Regulatory Team sits at the intersection of financial services, licensing, and government relations, and is charged with keeping Block and its affiliates examination-ready across a growing portfolio of federal and state regulators. The team manages direct bank examinations, multi-state money transmission and lending oversight, and the regulatory relationships that underpin them, working closely with business partners to ensure Block operates with the trust and confidence of its regulators. We're looking for an Exam Manager to own this function end-to-end for federal exams: you'll be Block's primary point of contact with examiners, lead high-stakes exam cycles across Block affiliates, including its bank, and build the regulator relationships that directly shape examination outcomes.

You Will

• Own and lead federal bank examinations of Square Financial Services (SFS), including direct FDIC exams and Holdco examinations by the state of Utah, bringing deep familiarity with Block's structure, examination history, and examiner expectations
• Manage examinations of Block and its affiliates across federal agencies
• Serve as Block's primary point of contact with federal regulators during and between active exam cycles, building and sustaining ongoing relationships 
• Coordinate cross-functionally with stakeholders to keep Block examination-ready, respond to regulator requests, and position new initiatives for regulatory approval where required
• Lead exam workstreams from First Day Letter through post-exam remediation, managing multiple active exams simultaneously without loss of continuity or quality
• Maintain institutional knowledge of Block's regulatory history and examination record, ensuring continuity across exam cycles and examiner relationships
  
  

You Have

• 8+ years of direct experience in regulatory examination management or regulatory affairs in financial services, with meaningful exposure to federal bank examinations
• Demonstrated experience managing FDIC exams from the bank side, including exam preparation, examiner communication, and post-exam follow-through
• Experience with OCC examination and oversight frameworks strongly preferred
• A track record of building and maintaining effective working relationships with regulators
• Familiarity with bank partnership models and the regulatory obligations they create
• Experience coordinating cross-functional exam responses across various teams
• Strong organizational and project management skills; able to manage multiple active exam workstreams simultaneously under pressure
• BA/BS required; paralegal background a plus
