Hybrid • New York, NY

You will lead Valon's compliance function and serve as a key partner to product, engineering, legal, and leadership as we scale the AI-native operating system for regulated finance. This is not a traditional compliance role at a financial institution—you'll be building the compliance infrastructure for a technology platform that enables mortgage servicers to meet their regulatory obligations. This is a high-ownership leadership role. You'll shape how ValonOS addresses the regulatory requirements facing our enterprise clients, translate complex mortgage servicing regulations into product requirements, and build scalable compliance programs that support both Valon's servicing operations and our growing software business. You'll operate at the intersection of technology and regulation in one of the most complex industries in the world. Your work will span regulatory analysis, product compliance guidance, client-facing compliance support, and cross-functional strategy. You'll need to balance deep regulatory expertise with practical product thinking—understanding not just what the rules require, but how to create processes and systems that make compliance efficient and reliable for the business. If you're motivated by complexity, energized by building something new, and excited to define what compliance looks like for the future of regulated finance, you'll thrive here.
