We are looking for a Regulatory Specialist to join our Compliance & Legal team and help us navigate the complex payments regulatory landscape across Latin America. You’ll own the lifecycle of payment licenses across the region, monitor regulatory changes, and ensure the company’s operates in full compliance as we expand into new markets.
What will you be doing?
● Own the full lifecycle of payment licenses across LATAM markets — from initial filing to renewals and regulatory amendments.
● Monitor and analyze regulatory changes from central banks and financial supervisory authorities (BACEN, CNBV, BCRA, SFC, CMF, SBS, and others), and translate them into actionable internal guidance.
● Build and maintain direct relationships with regulators — coordinate responses to inquiries and represent the company in regulatory interactions.
● Support the design and implementation of AML/KYC programs aligned with local regulations in each country where we operate.
● Lead regulatory analysis for expansion into new markets, including license mapping, risk assessment, and timelines.
● Collaborate with Product, Tech, and Ops teams to ensure regulatory compliance is embedded in how we build and operate — not bolted on after the fact.
● Maintain and update internal compliance policies, procedures, and manuals to reflect evolving regulatory landscapes across the region.
● Use AI tools (Claude, NotebookLM, or equivalent) to accelerate regulatory research, policy drafting, and compliance documentation.
What are we looking for?
● 3–5 years of experience in Regulatory Affairs, Compliance, or Legal roles within fintechs or payments companies.
● Direct, hands-on experience with payment or e-money licenses in at least 2 LATAM markets. Experience with cross-border payments, PSP ecosystems, or acquiring bank relationships is a great plus.
● Working knowledge of AML/KYC/PLD requirements across the region.
● Familiarity with key regulators: BACEN, CNBV, BCRA, SFC, CMF, SBS/BCRP.
● Law, accounting, or related degree with a regulatory or financial focus.
● Fluent Spanish (required) · Intermediate-advanced English (required). Portuguese (a strong plus for Brazil market coverage).
● Ability to translate complex regulatory language into clear, actionable business guidance.
● Autonomous and proactive — you spot regulatory risks before they become operational problems.
Why join our team?
● Real regulatory complexity, real scope. You’ll manage licenses across 17 active markets, with expansion ongoing. This isn’t a single-country compliance role — it’s a regional portfolio with meaningful stakes.
● Your work shapes how we expand. Every new market the company’s enters starts with the regulatory groundwork you lay. You’re not supporting the business — you’re enabling it.
● Competitive compensation + growth opportunities. USD-denominated salary, performance bonus, learning budget, and direct access to senior leadership from day one.
