Affiniti is building the financial operating system for small businesses across America, and we're doing it the right way. As our first dedicated compliance hire, you'll work directly with the Head of Legal to build the regulatory infrastructure from the ground up: onboarding, transaction monitoring, marketing reviews, regulatory filings, and everything in between.

This isn't a box-checking role. You'll be embedded in a fast-moving team that treats compliance as a competitive advantage, not a speed bump. You’ll be collaborating with product, support, marketing, and external bank partners to keep us moving fast without cutting corners. If you want to be in the room when decisions get made and leave your fingerprints on how a scaling fintech builds its compliance foundation, this is for you.
