About The Position

We are looking for an operational powerhouse to serve as our Director, Compliance & Risk. As we scale our AI-driven SaaS products and look to launch our newest verticals, you will take ownership over monitoring and improving the health of our compliance initiatives & risk systems across the company. Your mission is to move beyond traditional manual workflows to build a modern, tech-forward infrastructure that ensures we remain a trusted partner to the world’s leading financial institutions. You won't just be managing a checklist; you will be a strategic enabler, ensuring that "compliance by design" is baked into every product we support today and launch tomorrow.

Requirements

• An Experienced Leader: You bring 6+ years of experience in compliance, risk, or audit, specifically within highly regulated SaaS or fintech environments.
• A Payments Expert: You have a proven track record of building or managing KYB/KYC processes and possess a deep understanding of payment rules (Nacha, card networks).
• A Strategic Partner: You are known for building bridges, not walls. You see yourself as a business enabler who solves problems for customers and internal stakeholders alike.
• Tech-Forward: You are "remote-ready" and tech-savvy, with a preference for using Generative AI and advanced data tools to work smarter, not harder.
• A Master of Velocity: You thrive in high-growth, high-stress environments. You can pivot quickly from deep-dive auditing to high-level strategy without losing your eye for detail.
• An Articulate Communicator: You can translate dense regulatory requirements into clear, actionable guidance for diverse teams across the organization

Responsibilities

• Architect the Future: Own and evolve our modern Compliance Management System (CMS), ensuring it scales alongside our patented AI models and complex financial integrations.
• Launch New Verticals: Lead the end-to-end design of compliance workflows for our new Payment Portal, including the construction of KYB (Know Your Business) and transaction monitoring protocols.
• Drive Operational Excellence: Take full ownership of team SLAs, ensuring every internal and external request is handled with precision and speed.
• Champion "Compliance by Design": Partner directly with Product and Engineering teams to provide subject matter expertise, ensuring new features are built to the highest regulatory standards from day one.
• Defend Our Integrity: Lead the charge on internal and external audits (ISO 27001, PCI-DSS), transforming the audit process into a seamless, "audit-ready" thread of evidence and validation.
• Modernize through Tech: Replace friction-heavy manual processes with automated, data-driven solutions. You will serve as the primary administrator for tools like AuditBoard to optimize our workflows.
• Deliver Insights: Transform raw compliance data into high-impact executive reporting and dashboards (Looker/Excel) that drive critical business decisions.
