Director, Compliance

As a Director within the Fidelity Enterprise Services Compliance team, you will serve as a trusted business partner promoting a culture of commitment to compliance, regulatory and legal obligations.  In this role, you will support Fidelity Labs, Fidelity Investments’ in-house startup incubator and other  enterprise teams to build and maintain an enhanced compliance program.  You will also work closely with the firm's legal, risk, corporate affairs, and technology teams involved in supporting and strengthening Fidelity’s artificial intelligence and digital asset ecosystems.

You will:

• Closely collaborate with enterprise teams to ensure alignment between evolving business needs and the supporting compliance framework

• Monitor the regulatory environment, advise internal partners on emerging rules and requirements, and assess the applicability of new rules and regulations

• Research compliance matters and provide advice related to emerging technologies

• Expand and adapt your compliance knowledge at a rapid pace to support a growing range of fields across FinTech, RegTech, and other lines of business at the frontline of financial services technology

• Ensure business awareness and alignment with corporate policies and develop supplemental guidelines that contribute to a flexible compliance framework

• Support the development, implementation and maintenance of business specific compliance roadmaps

For this role your ability to master complex subject matters quickly, collaborate effectively, and problem solve with a risk-oriented mindset will be more important than in-depth experience in specific areas of compliance.  Teamwork is not a slogan for us: it’s our daily experience and at the core of everything we do.  The expertise and skills you bring will include most or all of the following:

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent, and at least 8 years of experience with a preference for a background in compliance, risk, and/or regulatory practice

• Willingness to adapt to new systems and help maintain compliant practices in a rapidly evolving business environment

• Ability to build relationships with decision makers and senior leaders across the organization

• Outstanding analytical, organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills 

• Proven experience leading effective meetings to create positive outcomes

• Ability to lead multiple projects while also contributing individual work
