FTC Safeguard Rules Compliance Officer: The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) recently updated its Safeguard Rules meant to protect confidential, personal customer information held by recreational vehicle dealers such as Great American RV. The FTC and CFPB consider our dealerships to qualify under their rules as “financial institutions” since we assist customers in obtaining loans or financing for the purchase of RVs through outside, third party lenders. The Compliance Officer we are seeking is for a newly created position within Great American RV, who will lead us in establishing programs and procedures to ensure we meet the FTC Safeguard Rules and to train and monitor employees, so the dealerships remain in compliance. The Compliance Officer will report directly to Great American RV’s Chief Legal Officer and Leadership. Great American RV will provide you with all the equipment you may need. We also provide you with paid time off, a 401K, health insurance, dental, and vision.
