  • Manage payments and lending licenses across various international regulators and systems.
  • Support regulatory examinations and audits of Rippling’s global licenses.

  • Partner with business stakeholders to improve processes and ensure that new and existing payment products comply with policies and applicable global laws and regulations.
  • Continually identify opportunities for efficiencies while escalating any control deficiencies.
  • Collaborate with U.S.-based licensing team members to ensure consistency in processes and cross-functional visibility.

What you will need:

  • 3+ years of experience in compliance, regulatory, or paralegal roles for a law firm, financial institution, or tech company (experience in payments, e-money, lending, and global financial regulatory compliance is a plus).
  • Entrepreneurial mindset (flexible, self-starting and hard-working) in generating new and innovative solutions to build out the Legal & Compliance program.
  • Demonstrated solution-oriented business and compliance judgment.
  • Exceptional attention to detail.
  • Strong project management and organisational skills.
  • Excellent communicator both internally and externally, with ability to break down complex regulatory requirements into easy-to-understand and practical advice.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Familiarity with international licensing regimes and regulatory frameworks (e.g., FCA, Central Bank of Ireland, AUSTRAC, MAS, FINTRAC) is a plus.
  • Familiarity with the NMLS system is a plus.
