Why this is a fit

The Director-Compliance title at American Express aligns with your target seniority band and financial services industry target, but without a job description there's no way to confirm whether the compliance function focuses on employee benefits/ERISA (your core expertise) versus general financial regulatory compliance, which is a meaningful functional gap risk.
