About The Position

eToro is seeking a Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) to lead and transform its compliance function in the United States. This senior, highly visible role involves shaping compliance strategy, managing regulatory relationships with bodies like the SEC and FINRA, and fostering a progressive compliance culture that enables business growth. The CCO will be responsible for the US compliance framework, including policies, procedures, and monitoring programs, and will play a key role in ensuring compliance with securities, broker-dealer, AML/BSA, OFAC, consumer protection, and data privacy regulations. A significant aspect of the role involves overseeing compliance for eToro's AI initiatives in the US, navigating the regulatory landscape for AI-powered products and services. The CCO will also integrate into the global compliance function, collaborate with various business units, and build and lead the US compliance team.

Requirements

Significant experience in a senior compliance role within a US-regulated financial services firm — broker-dealer, RIA, fintech, or crypto-asset business preferred.
Strong working knowledge of the US regulatory landscape: SEC, FINRA, BSA/AML, OFAC, and relevant state-level requirements. Working knowledge of the evolving regulatory framework for digital assets and crypto-asset services is essential.
A proven track record of designing and operating compliance frameworks that are both technically robust and commercially intelligent.
Direct experience engaging with US regulators — including examination management, regulatory correspondence, and proactive relationship management.
The ability to lead change: to challenge the status quo, influence senior stakeholders, and embed a new compliance philosophy across a business that is growing rapidly.
Commercial awareness and business instinct — an understanding that the best compliance function is one that enables the business to grow with confidence, not one that defaults to caution.
Excellent communication skills: the ability to translate complex regulatory requirements into clear, actionable guidance for a broad range of internal audiences.
Strong AI literacy and genuine enthusiasm for working in an organisation where AI is central to the product and operational model — the CCO must be comfortable engaging with AI tools directly, forming views on their regulatory implications, and shaping how AI is deployed responsibly.
Proven people leadership and people-management skills — the ability to build, motivate, and develop a high-performing compliance team, hold people accountable in a constructive way, and create an environment where talent wants to grow. Strong interpersonal skills are essential: this person will work across legal, product, finance, and the wider business, and must be able to build trust and influence without authority.

Responsibilities

Serving as the designated CCO and key function holder across eToro's US-registered entities, with accountability to the Board of Directors and Group compliance leadership.
Owning and developing the US compliance framework, including policies, procedures, and the compliance monitoring programme, ensuring it is robust, risk-based, and fit for a fast-scaling business.
Leading regulatory engagement with the SEC, FINRA, FinCEN and other relevant US regulators — building and maintaining constructive, transparent relationships and coordinating responses to examinations, inquiries, and reporting obligations.
Providing clear, practical, and commercially aware guidance to senior management and the Board on regulatory developments, compliance risk, and strategic initiatives.
Acting as a visible champion of a progressive compliance culture — one that is embedded in the business and seen as a genuine enabler of growth, rather than a constraint.
Owning the compliance framework for eToro’s AI initiatives in the US — ensuring that AI-powered products and features operate within a clearly defined regulatory perimeter, navigating the boundary between information-only services and regulated investment advice, and supporting the pathway toward any required registrations or approvals.
Ensuring full compliance with applicable US regulatory obligations across securities, broker-dealer, AML/BSA, OFAC sanctions, consumer protection, and data privacy requirements.
Overseeing regulatory reporting obligations, including FINRA filings and SEC reporting requirements, ensuring accuracy and timeliness.
Collaborating with the Group compliance function to ensure consistency of approach, sharing of best practice, and alignment on global regulatory priorities.
Building and leading the US compliance team — recruiting, developing, and retaining talent capable of supporting the business through its next phase of growth.
