Affirm is reinventing credit to make it more honest and friendly, giving consumers the flexibility to buy now and pay later without any hidden fees or compounding interest.

The Legal, Compliance, and Public Affairs team is a group of dedicated professionals committed to helping Affirm scale, innovate, and provide outstanding products for consumers, merchants, and key partners. We combine legal, compliance, and policy expertise to guide growth, shape products, and build trust across our ecosystem. Our work spans multiple professional disciplines and provides the foundation for Affirm’s mission to deliver honest financial products.

Affirm’s Compliance team designs and implements a compliance program that proactively addresses regulatory requirements while also identifying potential compliance issues that may arise. Compliance program activities include advisory, training, testing & monitoring, reporting and oversight. Although a second line of defense, compliance partners with the business to support new products, markets, and initiatives, as well as issue identification, remediation plans and risk assessment. Compliance uses multiple data sources to enable informed decision making, strengthen controls and provide for better treatment of consumers.

Affirm is currently in search of a proficient FinTech Compliance Lead, Network Growth, to become a part of our Compliance Advisory team. The Compliance Lead, Network Growth, will play a pivotal role in ensuring our business partners adhere to all relevant regulatory requirements and internal policies.

As the Compliance Lead, you will work alongside the wider legal and compliance teams to identify and evaluate risks within applicable requirements, and offer guidance on mitigating potential risks. This role will report to the Compliance Manager and will be required to work independently and cross-functionally.
