Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Legal, and Risk teams to interpret regulatory requirements and incorporate compliant, customer-focused solutions into product design and implementation.
Develop and maintain clear, audit-ready documentation, controls, and governance processes that support internal reviews, partner oversight, and regulatory examinations.
Drive cross-functional compliance initiatives from planning through implementation, coordinating stakeholders and ensuring business readiness for product launches and enhancements.
Monitor compliance-related risks, identify opportunities to strengthen processes and controls, and recommend practical solutions that enable the business to scale responsibly.
Foster a culture of ownership and collaboration by sharing compliance expertise, supporting cross-functional decision-making, and helping teams navigate regulatory considerations with confidence.
