About the Role

The Director of Compliance manages and maintains the company's compliance program, ensuring regulatory and legal adherence while enabling the business to build consumer-facing financial products efficiently. This role translates compliance strategy into day-to-day execution, integrating regulatory requirements into product and business decisions without unnecessary friction, with a strong focus on consumer protection, fair treatment, and disclosure obligations.

Responsibilities

  • Maintain and operate a compliance framework for building and scaling consumer financial products within legal and regulatory guidelines.
  • Track regulatory developments and adapt the compliance program to stay ahead of potential challenges.
  • Own compliance review of consumer-facing touchpoints, including product flows, disclosures, marketing, fee structures, and customer communications.
  • Support engagement with regulators, industry groups, auditors, and financial institution partners.
  • Build scalable compliance processes to support company expansion into new markets and product lines.
  • Embed compliance into the product design process early, working with product, engineering, and design teams.
  • Advise on structuring products to balance compliance with customer experience and market competitiveness.
  • Help manage consumer complaint monitoring and remediation.
  • Keep compliance processes lightweight and efficient, reducing operational friction.
  • Prepare clear, data-driven compliance reporting on program effectiveness, regulatory trends, and key risk areas.
  • Foster a compliance-minded culture where teams see regulations as guardrails for smart innovation.
  • Educate employees on practical compliance principles.
  • Work cross-functionally with legal, risk, finance, and operations to align compliance activities with business objectives.

Requirements

  • 6+ years of experience in compliance, legal, or risk management roles within fintech, financial services, or adjacent regulated industries, with meaningful time spent on consumer-facing financial products.
  • Track record of building or scaling compliance processes in product-driven, fast-paced environments, ideally at a Series A–C stage and/or technology company.
  • Strong working knowledge of U.S. consumer financial regulations on the federal and state level, including UDAAP, TILA/Reg Z, EFTA/Reg E, FCRA, and requirements relevant to cash advances, lending, credit products, tradelines, and payments.
  • Practical understanding of consumer protection principles — clear disclosures, fair treatment, and complaint handling — and how they apply to digital product experiences.
  • Experience supporting or implementing AML/KYC programs, with knowledge of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), OFAC requirements, and FinCEN guidance.
  • Demonstrated ability to interpret and apply regulations pragmatically, enabling compliant solutions that support innovation and user experience.
  • Experience working with regulatory bodies, auditors, and financial institution partners, with a credible communication style.
  • Comfortable working cross-functionally with product, engineering, legal, and operations to embed compliance into the product lifecycle.
