Join a team of top talent from the world’s leading fintech and tech companies, and help build a cross-border financial system that’s modern, accessible, and built to scale.
Who we’re looking for
A Compliance Lead to design and run our US compliance function from day one. This is a hands-on, operational role for someone who thrives in building programs from scratch - owning BSA/AML, fraud prevention, and partner oversight while working side-by-side with product and operations to make compliance a core part of how we scale. You’ll have the autonomy to shape our compliance strategy, the tools to execute it, and the opportunity to be the go-to compliance leader for our US business.
What you’ll do
- Lead US BSA/AML and fraud prevention programs, including transaction monitoring, SAR filings, and customer due diligence (CDD/EDD).
- Build and scale compliance infrastructure such as KYC operations, AML investigations, monitoring systems, and risk assessment frameworks.
- Manage compliance oversight with US sponsor banks, auditors, and regulators, including reviews, examinations, and reporting.
- Support regulatory filings and readiness for new product launches or market expansions.
- Partner with product, engineering, and operations to embed compliance requirements into systems and workflows.
- Translate regulatory changes (Reg E, UDAAP, BSA) into updated policies, processes, and controls.
- Leverage data and tooling to monitor compliance performance, detect risks, and produce meaningful reports.
- Deliver compliance training and foster a “compliance-by-design” culture across teams.
What you’ll need to succeed
- 5+ years in US compliance roles, with deep BSA/AML experience.
- Proven success building or scaling compliance programs at a fintech, neobank, or payments company.
- Strong knowledge of US payments regulation, including Reg E, UDAAP, and BSA.
- Experience working directly with banks, regulators, and auditors.
- Comfort with data and compliance tooling to track performance and risks.
- A builder mindset with the ability to thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments.
