• Stay up to date with any regulatory changes, best practices, and new developments in the industry and implement necessary updates
• Support expansion for new payments product launches by scoping, defining and communicating product and compliance requirements
• Work cross-functionally to drive remediation efforts for products within your defined scope
• Support the compliance function in defining and achieving departmental initiatives, maintaining relevant policies and procedures, developing documentation solutions, and liaising with auditors
• Contribute to building a strong culture of compliance across Mercury

• Experience evaluating emerging products for compliance risk, working with the product and business stakeholders to implement creative solutions to tough compliance requirements, and conducting compliance reviews of new products and marketing materials
• The ability to identify and define problems, build project plans to address them, and manage implementation of their solution
• The ability to effectively communicate across various lines of business and senior management
• An ambitious sense of curiosity and a willingness to explore areas outside of your comfort zone, like new markets or new product types
• The ability to work efficiently and independently in an ambiguous, fast-paced environment, with a strong understanding of when to escalate urgent issues
• Respect for and interest in financial rules and regulations, as well as an eagerness to innovate and drive the industry forward

This role offers the opportunity to shape and scale a compliance testing program in a dynamic, high-growth environment. If you enjoy structured problem-solving, regulatory complexity, and leveraging technology for smarter compliance, we’d love to hear from you!
