Define and manage reporting and metrics for senior leadership and cross-functional partners on the status of each market in the portfolio.
Establish and evolve scalable service standards for managing regulatory and licensing programs.
Support external procurement activities, including scoping, contracting, budgeting, and delivery, as directed.

At least 4 years supporting regulatory, licensing, legal, or compliance work in financial services, fintech, or a similarly regulated company.

Experience delivering complex, multi-month programs with numerous dependencies and uncontrollable deadlines.
Ability to hold senior colleagues accountable for commitments without direct authority.
Proactive risk identification and escalation, even when uncomfortable.
Daily, practical use of AI in personal work, including research, analysis, and internal reporting, with an understanding of necessary human oversight.
Proven track record of building with AI, such as shipping reporting workflows, automations, or internal tools.
Strong written communication skills, capable of synthesizing extensive inputs into concise, actionable executive summaries.
Discipline to see requirements through to completion and sound judgment with confidential and privileged information.
