Co-Founder & CEO - AI Compliance Platform for SEC & FINRA Firms
FutureSight is hiring an experienced and visionary Founding CEO to lead the launch of a new AI Compliance venture serving SEC- and FINRA-regulated firms. Today, compliance teams at RIAs and broker-dealers spend countless hours manually reviewing marketing materials, employee communications, and trade records—driving up costs, slowing approvals, and increasing exam risk. Our venture is reimagining this workflow with an explainable, policy-as-code platform that brings all reviews into one intelligent, automated system—empowering compliance teams to move faster, cut costs, and stay confidently audit-ready. As Founding CEO, you will shape the vision, build the team, and lead this transformation across the $10B regulatory technology market. We are launching pilots in early Q1 2026.
Responsibilities
Win customers — Run pilots, shape pricing, and validate retention + expansion
Build the product — Work with FutureSight's product / engineering pod to launch V1 by Q1 2026
Raise capital — Lead the seed round with our initial investment
Build your team — Hire your founding team and set the cultural foundation
