  • Build and lead a growing compliance team, setting clear priorities and scaling systems to support our expanding credit products
  • Oversee critical CMS functions including Complaint Management, Vendor Oversight, Issue Management, Monitoring & Testing, and Compliance Training
  • Develop, maintain, and oversee the execution of an effective BSA / AML program, including risk assessments, transaction monitoring, and suspicious activity reporting in collaboration with external partners
  • Work cross-functionally to identify risks and creatively design compliant solutions that support new product initiatives and operational changes
  • Monitor the regulatory environment for changes and lead implementation of new requirements with agility and precision
  • Report regularly to executive leadership and the Board on key compliance and AML trends, risks, and program performance
  • Interface with external partners, including bank partners, to represent the compliance function
  • Cultivate a compliance-forward culture rooted in transparency, curiosity, and proactive risk mitigation
  • What You'll Bring :

  • 5+ years of leadership experience in compliance within a financial services or fintech environment, including direct experience with BSA / AML frameworks
  • Strong knowledge of relevant consumer protection laws and regulations (e.g., TILA, ECOA, FCRA, UDAAP, GLBA), and how they apply to credit cards and bank-partnered fintechs
  • Experience designing and implementing scalable compliance and AML processes in high-growth or entrepreneurial environments
  • Proven ability to balance regulatory requirements with business innovation, providing actionable, creative guidance on new ideas and product launches
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to work cross-functionally and influence at all levels
  • A pragmatic, proactive approach to compliance that focuses on finding solutions and building trust and relationships between internal stakeholders and external partners
