About the role

Monstro is hiring a seasoned banking and financial services compliance expert to serve as the company's regulatory authority - both internally and in the market.
You will be the person in the room - whether that's a product review, a bank's vendor diligence session, or an industry working group - whose depth of knowledge shapes outcomes and unblocks decisions.
Externally, you will be the face of Monstro's regulatory credibility, shortening the time it takes institutions to say yes.

Responsibilities

Build relationships with regulators proactively, so that when questions arise they are answered from a position of established trust rather than reactive scrambling
Support enterprise sales by providing substantive, authoritative answers to compliance and risk questions in real time - turning what is often a bottleneck into a competitive advantage
Own Monstro's regulatory strategy and positioning
Define and maintain Monstro's regulatory posture across U.S. and international markets, including open banking rules, consumer data protections, and emerging AI governance frameworks
Develop clear, well-reasoned positions on nuanced questions: where AI-driven financial guidance sits relative to regulated advice, how data flows within banking ecosystems, and how Monstro is appropriately classified as a vendor
Partner with leadership on market expansion, sequencing entry into new jurisdictions with the regulatory pathway already mapped
Define practical guardrails for AI outputs - including financial guidance boundaries, model explainability standards, and human oversight requirements - that are specific enough to build against immediately
For clients, that means clearer decisions, proactive support when life changes, and a better view of their financial lives.
Every recommendation reflects the institution's own views, policies, and permissions.
Generative AI shapes how advice is designed; at runtime, execution is deterministic - so every output can be explained and stood behind, not just trusted.

Requirements

Deep, practitioner-level knowledge of banking and financial services regulation - ideally built inside a bank, regulatory body, financial infrastructure provider, or specialised advisory firm
A reputation in the industry that precedes you: the kind of expertise that gives institutional compliance teams immediate confidence
A demonstrable track record of using regulatory mastery to accelerate outcomes - closing diligence processes faster, unblocking product decisions, enabling market entry - not just ensuring correctness
Comfort engaging directly with senior stakeholders: bank executives, regulators, board members, and enterprise sales conversations
Experienced Team: Join a team with leadership that has a track record of scaling companies from early stage to major exits.

Skills

Identify risks in proposed product directions early enough to propose solutions, not just flag concerns - keeping momentum intact
Ensure regional regulatory variations are understood and reflected in product decisions before they become blockers
Establish the processes that allow Monstro to scale into new markets at pace, without compliance becoming the long pole in the tent
Enterprise deals move faster because compliance questions are answered with authority, not deferred
Banks and financial institutions engage with Monstro's compliance posture with confidence, not scepticism
Monstro enters new markets ahead of schedule because the regulatory pathway was mapped in advance
Compliance is seen internally as an enabler of speed, not an obstacle to it
Experience designing or materially evolving compliance and risk frameworks - not just operating within frameworks others built

Compensation

Competitive salary, equity, and robust benefits package, including paid health, vision, dental, and disability coverage.
Final compensation will depend on a variety of factors, including experience, skills, internal leveling, and market conditions, and will be offered within the stated range in accordance with applicable pay transparency laws.
$250,000 - $320,000

Benefits

bringing together their full financial picture, identifying what matters, and delivering personalized guidance across investments, tax, retirement, insurance, legal, and more.
