What You’ll Do

• Enhance and Operationalize the Compliance Program: Enhance and operationalize the firm’s compliance program, monitoring that it remains robust and aligned with the company's evolving operations and its role in supporting regulated clients

• Training and Awareness: Create and deliver compliance training programs to employees to reinforce a strong culture of compliance and understanding of relevant regulations and internal policies
• Monitoring: Oversee and refine existing monitoring processes for continuous compliance with internal policies and relevant legal and regulatory requirements (especially as they relate to KYC/AML and supporting regulated clients)
• Stakeholder Collaboration: Partner closely with cross-functional teams, including Product, Engineering, Sales, and Legal, so that compliance considerations are seamlessly integrated into all aspects of the business lifecycle
• Regulatory Awareness: Proactively stay informed about evolving regulatory landscapes and industry best practices relevant to the fintech industry and the regulated sectors our clients operate in. Analyze the potential impact of these changes on our business and our clients, and recommend necessary adjustments to our compliance program
• Vendor Management: Contribute to the ongoing compliance due diligence of vendors, as needed

• At least 6 years of experience in compliance, legal, or risk roles within fintech, financial services, or tech-forward environments
• Proven ability to build, scale, and enforce compliance programs in dynamic or cross-regulatory contexts
• Familiarity with regulatory frameworks such as KYC/AML, privacy/data security, and vendor due diligence
• Strong judgment, discretion, and communication skills—able to translate complex compliance requirements into practical operational steps
• Comfortable working autonomously while collaborating across a high-performing team
