The Story

Every company is becoming a fintech. Mural is the global accounts layer that powers their financial stack—helping businesses hold, move, and reconcile money globally without friction.

We're growing fast worldwide with strong roots in the US and Latin America, and are looking for someone to lead the compliance function that keeps us operating with integrity—at scale, across jurisdictions, without slowing us down.

What You'll Do

You'll own our global compliance program—not build it from scratch, but further evolve and drive it forward. The policies are in place. The frameworks exist. What we need now is a sharp, execution-obsessed operator who can run the program day-to-day, strengthen it as we grow, and serve as the connective tissue across every team that touches compliance.

You'll work directly with our founders and leadership team, with real ownership from day one.

Your focus spans three core areas:

1. AML Program Execution & Evolution

You'll be the person who makes our compliance program run. That means owning BSA/AML compliance requirements (KYB / KYC, transaction monitoring, and fraud review processes) end-to-end—not just overseeing them, but driving accountability, identifying gaps, and making sure every process is sharp, documented, and audit-ready.

You'll coordinate across the various compliance functions to ensure operational excellence across onboarding and ongoing monitoring. As the business evolves, so will the program—you'll be the one who identifies what needs to change and makes it happen.

2. Money Transmission Licensing & US Regulatory Coordination

We're actively building out our US money transmission license portfolio, and you'll be a key player in that process. You'll coordinate directly with our MTL team and engage with state regulators across the country—managing correspondence, tracking requirements, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks.

You know how to work with regulators: when to be proactive, how to communicate clearly, and how to keep relationships strong. You don't treat regulatory interaction as a necessary burden—you treat it as a strategic growth lever.

3. International Compliance & Entity Management

Mural operates globally, and our compliance obligations don't stop at the US border. You'll coordinate compliance requirements across our international entities—understanding local regulatory environments, working with counsel and partners, and making sure our global footprint stays clean and compliant.

You have experience setting up and maintaining compliance infrastructure in international markets and know how to navigate the complexity of multi-jurisdiction operations without losing speed.

Who You Are

You're a strong executor. You don't just advise—you do. You run the process, close the loop, and make sure things actually get done. You're organized, meticulous, and deeply comfortable owning a full compliance function operationally.

You're experienced across the compliance stack—BSA/AML, KYB/KYC, fraud, US Licensing, and international regulatory coordination aren't new concepts to you. You've done this work in fintech or financial services and you know what good looks like.

You're a clear communicator and strong leader. You can walk a state regulator through a filing, brief a founder on a regulatory risk, and hold a cross-functional team accountable—all in the same day. You build trust quickly and maintain it.

You're a builder who thrives in ambiguity. The playbook exists, but no two days are the same. You're comfortable making judgment calls, moving fast, and iterating as the business grows.

What Success Looks Like

  • Our BSA/AML Compliance Program run smoothly—with clear ownership, high-quality outcomes, and no regulatory surprises across onboarding, ongoing monitoring, and fraud.

  • Our MTL acquisition is on track—state regulators know us, trust us, and our applications, reporting, and renewals run cleanly.

  • Our international entities stay compliant—across jurisdictions, with no gaps in coverage as we expand.

  • Leadership relies on you to know the compliance posture of the business at any given moment—and you always do

Why Now

We have product, customers, traction, and capital. Compliance isn't a blocker for us—it's a competitive advantage. The businesses and platforms that trust us with their financial infrastructure need to know that we operate with rigor. You're the person who makes that true.

This is a rare opportunity to own a compliance function at a high-growth fintech from a position of real seniority—with direct access to the C-suite and a clear path to grow as the team scales around you.
