## 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
