About Motive

Motive provides an integrated platform to help improve the safety, productivity, and profitability of fleet operations for the physical economy. Backed by Index, Insight and IVP.

About the role

Motive’s Financial Products team operates a fast-growing commercial lending and spend management program (Motive Card) built on partnerships with issuing banks and card networks. The program already spans the US & Canada with further international expansion planned. We’re hiring a Lead Compliance Manager to build and own the compliance function for this business end-to-end — from policy development through hands-on execution — as it scales into new products, segments, and markets.

What they're looking for

  • 8+ years of experience in compliance, audit, or risk management within lending, payments, or financial services, including direct ownership of AML/BSA, KYC/KYB, sanctions, and PEP programs
  • Hands-on experience managing compliance relationships with issuing banks, card networks, or other regulated financial partners, including audits and remediation
  • Multi-jurisdiction compliance program experience, including Canada and UK/EU required, additional international experience (e.g., Mexico or other Latin American markets) a strong plus
  • Proven ability to both write policy and operationalize it — building controls, procedures, and monitoring that hold up under audit, not just documentation
  • Experience partnering cross-functionally with Legal, Risk, Product, and Engineering to launch compliant products in new markets
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to represent Motive credibly to external regulators, auditors, and bank partners, and to advise senior leadership on compliance risk
