Compliance Officer - Growth Programs

We are looking for a highly organized, technically fluent, and product-minded individual to join our Schemes Compliance team as a Project Manager for our Growth vertical. This role is focused on enabling business growth across new products, markets, partners, payment methods, and network programs by driving cross-functional execution and building scalable operating solutions. You will work at the intersection of Payments Compliance, Product, Engineering, Commercial, Partnerships, Legal, and Operations to unblock launches, shape requirements, and translate complex business and network needs into structured, scalable programs. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguity, can lead without authority, and enjoys solving complex operational and product problems through clear program management and execution discipline.

• Lead cross-functional growth programs from initial problem definition through technical launch, governance, and post-launch optimization.

• Partner with Product and Engineering to translate complex scheme/network rules into clear technical requirements, controls, and automated workflows.

• Collaborate with Commercial, Legal, Risk, and regional teams to clear dependencies, resolve risks, and align on launch readiness.

• Design pragmatic decision frameworks and playbooks for high-growth merchant use cases that fall outside standard network mandates.

• Maintain program roadmaps, decision logs, and operational metrics while escalating blockers with actionable recommendations.

• Minimum of 5+ years of experience in technical program management, product operations, payments, fintech, risk, compliance, or similarly cross-functional roles.

• Strong understanding of payments infrastructure, payment methods, network rules, or merchant payment flows including experience working closely with Product and Engineering teams to launch or improve systems, workflows, or controls.

• Solid understanding of payments infrastructure, scheme rules, merchant flows, or alternative payment methods.

• Demonstrated ability to manage complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives with competing priorities and dependencies.

• Excellent organizational skills, with a structured approach to planning, execution, risk management, and follow-through.

• Experience supporting launches or changes that involve compliance, product, legal, or partner considerations is a plus.

• Exposure to merchant onboarding, payment methods, scheme rules, or financial partner programs is a plus.
