About The Position

This person will collaborate cross-functionally with our marketing, talent fulfillment, repayment operations, product, and legal teams to safeguard compliance across UDAAP, FTC, money transmitter, and payment processing regulations, while ensuring that Clasp clearly and compellingly communicates the value proposition and mechanics of the loan repayment programs that we power for our employers.

Requirements

• Strong familiarity with payment processing and money transmission regulations, and how they apply and interact with bank and fintech processes.
• Experience working with technology platforms (e.g., Stripe, Dwolla) and bank partners (e.g., SVB, WebBank, Grasshopper, Veridian) to facilitate compliant payments experiences in a B2B setting.
• Strong familiarity with UDAAP, FTC marketing and disclosure regulations, and related consumer protection frameworks.
• Experience collaborating with legal counsel to interpret contractual and regulatory requirements.
• Exceptional communication and cross-functional collaboration skills, with the ability to translate legal and regulatory concepts into actionable business guidance.
• A proactive, detail-oriented and risk-based mindset with the ability to navigate ambiguity and design practical compliance solutions.
• Comfort working across multiple SaaS platforms to organize cross-functional work streams.
• Excited to further your subject matter expertise in payments and fintech.
• Enthusiasm for a startup environment where things change quickly and where iterative experimentation is part of the culture.

Nice To Haves

• Serve alongside Clasp’s repayment operations and product teams as a liaison to the fintech and bank partners that facilitate the money movement from Clasp employers to Clasp students.
• Partner with fintech and bank partners to ensure the compliance of our programs, and to ensure that at no time Clasp is taking actions that would qualify Clasp as a money transmitter or payment processor.
• Work with internal counsel and external legal partners to ensure that contractual agreements with employers and students are transparent, accurate, and compliant.
• Evaluate and monitor communications to ensure proper representation of Clasp’s and employers’ roles within all student interactions.
