Step is a fintech company on a mission to improve the financial future of the next generation through banking and borrowing products. Now part of Beast Industries (MrBeast's company), Step is positioned for significant growth over the next 12–24 months.
You will lead and scale Step's compliance program across the full spectrum of banking, lending, and payments regulations. This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll serve as the compliance subject matter expert and primary regulatory point of contact.
Key responsibilities include:
- Develop and execute compliance strategy across BSA/AML, KYC, UDAAP, Reg E, Reg Z, EFTA, GLBA, FCRA, and CFPB guidance
- Own policies, procedures, and risk-based compliance frameworks that scale with the business
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Risk, Customer Experience, Marketing, and Legal to enable compliant product development
- Oversee internal reviews, audits, testing, training, and ongoing monitoring
- Lead compliance management processes including issue tracking, regulatory exams, complaints handling, and reporting
- Evaluate regulatory changes and translate them into actionable guidance
- Serve as primary compliance contact with regulators, partner banks, auditors, and stakeholders
Ideal candidates bring 10+ years of compliance or legal experience in fintech, banking, or payments across both startup and regulated environments. You should have deep fluency in U.S. consumer financial services regulation, experience with sponsor banks or BaaS partnerships, and comfort being hands-on—writing policies, responding to regulators, reviewing customer flows, and assessing vendors. Strong communication skills and cross-functional collaboration are essential.
