We are the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco-public servants with a mission to advance the nation's monetary, financial, and payment systems to build a stronger economy for all Americans.

That means we seek and appreciate new perspectives. We respect people for what they do and for who they are. We build opportunities to learn and grow.

Senior Examiners participate in supervisory work for our portfolio of state member banks, bank holding companies, and non-bank subsidiaries.

Senior Examiners lead higher complexity examination events and may act in a dedicated capacity for specified institutions, which would include assisting in the development and execution of supervisory strategy, ongoing monitoring, and leading discreet supervisory events.
