Lead compliance initiatives for AI-driven SaaS products, design compliance workflows, manage audits, and transform compliance data for executive reporting.
About This Role
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.
What You'll Do:
- 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.
Who You Are:
- 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). Compliance leadership in payment and collections is a plus.
- 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
- Innovative Disruption (Data & Tech at the Core): You put technology at the forefront of risk management, using innovation to build smarter and more responsible compliance and risk oversight. You have the courage to disrupt "traditional" manual workflows in favor of automated, data-driven solutions. You understand that "strong reporting" means data, trends, and insights—not just a list of activities completed.
- Technical Skills: AuditBoard (Administrator skills preferred). Advanced reporting/data visualization skills (Looker, Excel, G-Suite). Experience with project management tools (Jira, Asana). Proficiency in Google Suite, Slack, and Mac computers.Proficiency in using Generative AI tools.
