The Manager of Compliance Operations will oversee compliance requests, build relationships with clients and banking partners, ensure regulatory compliance, and create efficient processes while leading a high-accountability team culture.
At Conduit, we believe in a world of fair economic opportunities, where global commerce can flourish thanks to frictionless exchange of money. Our first step in building towards that vision is enabling cross-border transactions that are drastically faster, cheaper, and simpler. As we scale the business, we are looking for a Manager of Compliance Operations to join us through this next phase of growth.
Our company is globally distributed, offering the opportunity to collaborate with co-workers across the world. This role requires the availability to work and attend meetings during Eastern Time zone (North America) business hours.
We’re here to build. If you’re the kind of person who sees “impossible” as a dare and thrives in the controlled chaos of startup life, keep reading.
We’re looking for a Manager of Compliance Operations to own and strengthen the systems, processes, and relationships that are the backbone of Conduit’s day-to-day. This isn’t just about checking boxes. It’s about building trust with our clients and partners, moving with urgency, and creating a culture of accountability where we don’t stop until the job is done.
What you'll be doing:
- Act like a founder. Take absolute ownership of every compliance request—ensuring clients receive clear communication and banking partners get the expected documents without delay.
- Simplify communication flows. Build strong, trust-based relationships with clients and banking providers, serving as the point of contact who makes compliance frictionless and reliable for all key stakeholders.
- Own compliance operations end-to-end. From transaction monitoring to KYC/AML documentation, you’ll ensure our systems and reporting are behaving as intended, protecting Conduit, our clients, and our banking partners.
- Drive urgency and accountability. Build a team culture where excuses don’t fly, deadlines are sacred, and relentless execution is non-negotiable.
- Build scalable processes. Identify risks, close gaps, and design workflows that balance rigor with efficiency.
What we're looking for:
- Proven track record. 5+ years of experience in operations, ideally in fintech, payments, or financial services.
- Relationship-builder. You’ve worked closely with clients and financial institutions, and you know how to keep both sides aligned and confident.
- Extreme ownership mindset. You don’t just respond to requests—you anticipate them, prioritize them, and close them fast.
- Scalability mindset. You do more than merely execute. You also design processes that can be templatized, documented in a knowledge repository, and scaled to junior resources, ultimately enabling automation or outsourcing.
- Detail-obsessed, but pragmatic. You know when to sweat the small stuff and when to prioritize speed.
- Strong reporting skills. You have the ability to create and maintain dashboards (Jira or similar tools) paired with the ability to clearly articulate process improvements and performance metrics to internal and external stakeholders.
- High-accountability leader. You set a bar for excellence and won’t accept anything less from yourself or your team.
Why join us?
- A culture of absolute ownership and radical transparency—we expect a lot, and we give a lot.
- The freedom to build without red tape—autonomy and resourcefulness is the default.
- Competitive compensation, meaningful equity, and the chance to shape the compliance function that will define our legacy.A mission-driven team that’s obsessed with doing work that matters.
- Colleagues and managers who viscerally care about your development and will do everything in their power to help you grow.
This isn’t just another job.
This is your chance to build the foundation of trust that powers global commerce.If you’ve been waiting for the right team, the right opportunity to be your best self—this is it.
Let’s build.
