Principal Compliance Manager - Fintech/Money Transmission

Come join our team of leaders, learners, and world-class compliance professionals. We are part of an amazing team bringing financial services offerings to market to power prosperity for our customers all over the world! We are seeking a Principal Regulatory Compliance Manager to serve as a senior technical authority supporting our money transmission and regulatory product compliance program. This is a high-impact individual contributor role requiring deep expertise in U.S. money transmission laws and a broad command of intersecting regulatory domains — including AML/BSA, sanctions, and financial reporting — to guide the company as it grows its money movement programs and capabilities.

This person will operate as a senior compliance expert and collaborative cross-functional partner, exercising broad influence across product, engineering, legal, and business functions, while serving as a key participant in regulatory examinations and driving proactive exam readiness. This role will be instrumental in elevating a highly effective compliance team and advancing our posture as a trusted, well-regulated financial services company.

We believe diversity and inclusion among our teammates produces better results and is critical to our success as a global company. We are committed to recruiting, developing, and retaining the most talented people from a diverse candidate pool.

This role is hybrid with on-site expectations of 3 days per week.

Responsibilities

Regulatory Expertise & Advisory

• Serve as the senior compliance expert and driver on U.S. money transmission laws, consumer protection regulations (e.g., Reg E, UDAAP, E-Sign Act), and intersecting compliance obligations across AML/BSA, sanctions (OFAC), and financial reporting frameworks.
• Partner with product, engineering, operations, finance, and legal teams to provide expert compliance guidance — connecting obligations across regulatory domains and delivering practical, business-relevant advice in close collaboration with legal counsel and compliance program owners.
• Proactively monitor and translate emerging regulatory developments into actionable requirements, advising senior leadership on risk implications and recommended responses.

Program Ownership & Framework Development

• Define and drive enhancements to the Regulatory Compliance oversight framework, including policies, procedures, and controls governing money transmission and apply established program guardrails and playbooks across compliance program obligations (i.e. consumer financial protection, AML/BSA, and sanctions) to inform compliant product decisions.
• Own compliance risk assessments for assigned domains, integrating multi-regulatory perspectives into a unified view of risk for product lines and business operations.
• Lead and significantly contribute to the design and execution of compliance monitoring, testing, and control challenge programs, identifying systemic risks and recommending corrective actions.

Regulatory Engagement

• Represent the company's compliance program to state and federal regulators, external auditors, and bank partners, articulating program maturity, control effectiveness, and remediation posture with credibility and precision.
• Build and maintain strong ongoing relationships with key regulatory contacts; track examination trends and regulatory priorities to inform proactive program investment.

Cross-Functional Partnership & Executive Communication

• Partner with first-line product, operations, and risk teams to embed compliance throughout the product lifecycle — influencing design decisions, escalating emerging risks, and driving resolution of compliance issues to closure.
• Prepare and present key risk indicator reports, compliance program updates, and exam readiness assessments to senior management, compliance committees, and executive stakeholders.
• Promote a culture of compliance as a strategic advantage, operating as a trusted advisor who is known for clear-headed judgment, practical solutions, and sound regulatory instincts across domains.

Qualifications

Required

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience, with 8-12+ years of regulatory compliance, legal, risk, or advisory experience within fintech, payments, or financial services, including direct experience in a second-line compliance function.
• Deep, demonstrable expertise in U.S. state Money Transmission Laws (MTLs), federal consumer protection regulations (Reg E, UDAAP, E-Sign Act), and FFIEC guidelines — with the ability to independently interpret and apply these frameworks across complex product scenarios.
• Broad working knowledge of adjacent regulatory domains — including AML/BSA, OFAC/sanctions compliance, financial reporting obligations, and bank partnership risk — sufficient to navigate, advise, and identify cross-domain risk without dependency on dedicated program owners.
• Direct experience participating in regulatory examinations, including exam strategy, document production, regulator-facing interactions, and post-exam remediation.
• Demonstrated ability to analyze complex, ambiguous regulatory questions and translate them into clear, actionable business requirements; known for sound judgment under uncertainty and the ability to drive decisions forward.
• Exceptional communication and presentation skills — including the ability to distill complex regulatory matters for senior executives and engage with depth alongside regulators and auditors.
• Proven track record as a self-directed, high-influence individual contributor capable of driving large, cross-functional initiatives with limited direction in a fast-moving environment.

Preferred

• Relevant professional certifications (CRCM, CAMS, or equivalent).
• Experience with GRC tools, Jira, or data querying (SQL).
• Demonstrated AI-first mindset with experience using AI tools to improve compliance workflows, accelerate research, or enhance monitoring and documentation practices.
• Background in MSB compliance, bank-fintech partnership programs, and/or multi-state licensing frameworks.
