Lead Compliance Risk Manager, Product Compliance - AI

As Mercury continues its rapid growth trajectory, navigating an increasingly complex regulatory, partner, and product landscape is critical. Compliance is not only a requirement, but a competitive advantage that enables Mercury to move faster, build trust, and launch innovative products responsibly. 

Nowhere is that more true than in AI. We believe we have a path to lead the US banking* industry into the AI era, and that how we choose to build and deploy AI will define our success over the next three years. 

We are building first-party agentic products, headless and agent-accessible banking through our API and MCP, and the internal platforms that let us build with AI at speed. Core to all of it is great governance—these systems must run on one trusted system of access, logging, and data controls that meets the requirements of our banking ambitions.

We are seeking a Lead Compliance Risk Manager to serve as the compliance advisor for Mercury's AI products. This is a new, high-visibility role and the first dedicated compliance advisory seat covering AI at Mercury. You will be the leading authority on AI product compliance risk for the Compliance Team—shaping how we build, how we govern, and how we explain ourselves to our partners and regulators.

You will partner closely with Product, Engineering, Risk, Data, Legal, and Operations to ensure Mercury's AI products are compliant-by-design from concept through launch and scale. You will also help define the AI governance framework itself: the standards, controls, escalation paths, and documentation that allow a bank-partnered fintech to deploy agentic capabilities responsibly and at pace.
