About the Role
We are seeking a Compliance Governance Data Scientist to join our Compliance Risk Office (CRO). This critical technical role will build the data infrastructure to track cross-domain compliance risks across Complaints, Regulatory, Product Governance, and Employer of Record (EOR), supporting Rippling's expansion into regulated global markets.
Responsibilities
- Transition the CRO from manual data assembly to automated, real-time dashboards that provide a single consolidated view of risk for the Compliance Committee and Board.
- Serve as the functional data owner for the rollout of our Compliance Risk App, ensuring it serves as the single source of truth for all cross-domain risks.
- Work closely with our Governance Lead to translate the new compliance risk taxonomy into measurable Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) across all business units.
- Connect data pipelines from our Monitoring & Testing (M&T) domain programs directly to the central risk register so testing becomes completely risk-based.
- Run historical and predictive trend reporting on compliance issues, tracking open actions to ensure the business can actively evidence its compliance to global regulators.
Requirements
- 2–3 years of experience as a Data Analyst, Risk Analyst, or Business Intelligence Engineer, ideally within a scaling Fintech, SaaS, or highly regulated operational environment.
- Strong proficiency in SQL (joins, CTEs, optimization) and experience building production-grade dashboards in BI tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI, or Looker).
- Experience working with risk management platforms, GRC systems, or internal application development (experience with internal low-code/no-code internal app building is a massive plus).
- Eagerness to learn cross-domain compliance areas like EOR regulations, marketing compliance, and global regulatory frameworks.
- Proven ability to operate in a fast-paced "build" environment, transforming unstructured, messy data into organized, automated pipelines.
