Relay is a digital banking platform serving self-made business owners with financial clarity and cash flow visibility. The company is scaling rapidly and seeking a Director of Compliance to build and lead a modern compliance function end-to-end.
In this build role, you'll own Relay's entire compliance program: AML, sanctions, KYB/CDD, regulatory compliance, monitoring, testing, and operations. You'll manage the critical relationship with the sponsor bank through day-to-day partnership, exams, audits, and new product approvals. You'll design an evidence-driven compliance engine using unified decision data, entity resolution, and automation to scale compliance operations without proportional headcount growth.
Key responsibilities include: establishing compliance strategy and governance; building transaction monitoring and suspicious activity reporting infrastructure; implementing perpetual KYB and continuous customer diligence (with focus on synthetic business identity detection); embedding compliance into product design from inception; managing regulatory change tracking and implementation; leading financial crimes strategy; and providing board-level reporting on program health and risk outcomes.
You'll hire and develop a compliance team, setting standards and career paths. The role emphasizes balancing regulatory rigor with customer experience—measuring both risk outcomes and customer friction to avoid unnecessary friction while maintaining genuine control effectiveness.
The program you design will unlock launch velocity with the banking partner, enable new product launches (including credit and lending), and support Relay's ambitious five-year growth targets: 9x transaction volume growth and continuous product expansion.
