Full Job Description
JOIN THE TILT TEAM At Tilt, we see a side of people that traditional lenders miss. Our mobile-first products and machine learning-powered credit models look beyond credit scores, using over 250 real-time financial signals to recognize real potential. With millions of customers worldwide, we're not just changing how people access financial products — we're creating a new credit system that backs the working, whatever they're working toward. THE OPPORTUNITY: COMPLIANCE LEAD, MEXICO México https://empowerapp.mx/ was Tilt's first market outside the US. Launched in 2022, the business has scaled quickly — thousands of customers served, a credit card launch approaching, and a new AML law creating obligations that didn't exist a year ago. The compliance function to support all of it needs to come before the growth does. Mexico's compliance function is yours to build and run. Not from scratch — the US compliance team has frameworks, playbooks, and people who've done this before — but you're the one who makes it work for Mexico. You'll own both AML and regulatory compliance for Tilt MX, a dual mandate that reflects how the Mexico business actually operates. Your primary partners are the Head of Collections and the broader Mexico leadership group, who need a compliance partner that helps them move, not one that slows them down. You'll report to the Head of Compliance and draw on the US team's expertise, but the in-market decisions are yours. This role exists now because Mexico passed a new AML law that materially changes Tilt's obligations in-country — and because a credit card launch is coming with third-party compliance expectations attached. Both need an owner before the obligations arrive. HOW YOU'LL MAKE AN IMPACT - Own the AML program end-to-end. Adapt existing US frameworks to meet LFPIORPI obligations, serve as primary point of contact for the UIF and SAT, and run the daily program: KYC, sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, and investigations. - Operationalize
