What You Will Do

• Independently execute compliance monitoring and targeted validation activities across defined channels, such as customer communications, sales interactions, and marketing activity
• Own assigned monitoring and validation work end-to-end, including evidence collection, documentation, follow-ups, and timely completion of deliverables
• Identify, document, and classify findings, trends, or repeat observations, and escalate issues appropriately using established escalation paths
• Support validation of remediation actions through follow-up testing and confirmation reviews
• Prepare clear, accurate summaries of monitoring results to support team-level reporting and Advisory leadership visibility
• Execute assigned customer-facing and marketing collateral compliance reviews in accordance with established standards and review criteria
• Contribute ideas for improving monitoring efficiency, documentation quality, or review processes within existing team frameworks

• Demonstrated ability to independently execute moderately complex reviews or monitoring activities with minimal day-to-day guidance
• Experience applying defined standards, scripts, or criteria to assess customer-facing materials, sales practices, or communications
• Strong documentation discipline and attention to detail, with the ability to produce audit-ready evidence
• Ability to synthesize review outcomes into clear, structured summaries that support team-level decision-making
• Comfort operating in some ambiguity, asking clarifying questions, and escalating issues when guidance or risk tolerance is unclear
• A bias for action and accountability, with the ability to manage timelines and deliverables for assigned work independently
• Curiosity and willingness to deepen understanding of Mercury products, regulatory requirements, and compliance risk drivers
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively with stakeholders at all levels
