We’re building mission-critical systems in a highly regulated domain, and we care deeply about doing it right. If you’re motivated by meaningful problems, high standards, and shaping infrastructure that improves financial outcomes, you’ll feel at home here. About the Role Monstro is hiring a senior regulatory, risk, and compliance leader to build and own the company’s trust architecture as we scale globally with financial institutions. This role exists to ensure Monstro can build, sell, and operate as trusted financial infrastructure in highly regulated environments. You will define how Monstro aligns with banking regulations, risk frameworks, and emerging AI governance expectations — while enabling product innovation and institutional adoption. Monstro is not hiring a traditional compliance operator. We are hiring a strategic builder who can design the frameworks that allow AI-driven financial intelligence to be deployed responsibly at scale. You will partner closely with product, engineering, legal, and executive leadership to translate regulatory realities into practical guardrails, ensuring Monstro remains both forward-looking and institutionally credible. This role combines strategic ownership, hands-on framework design, and external credibility with banks, regulators, and industry bodies. Why This Role Matters Monstro operates at the intersection of artificial intelligence, financial decisioning, and regulated infrastructure — an environment where trust is not optional. Financial institutions must be confident that Monstro’s technology aligns with their risk models, regulatory obligations, and governance standards before they can deploy it within their environments. This role ensures Monstro stays ahead of regulatory change, builds durable trust with partners, and establishes a clear, defensible posture around how AI is used in financial services. Success in this role directly accelerates enterprise adoption, reduces partner risk concerns, and enables Monstro to expand into new markets with confidence.

Ownership & Impact: Shape how AI is deployed responsibly across global financial systems. Category-Defining Work: Help define the trust layer for AI-driven financial intelligence. Elite Team: Join leaders with a track record of building and scaling transformative companies. Mission & Scale: Contribute to expanding access to high-quality financial guidance worldwide.
