At Five Below our growth is a result of the people who embrace our purpose: We know life is way better when you are free to Let Go & Have Fun in an amazing experience, filled with unlimited possibilities, priced so low, you can always say yes to the newest, coolest stuff! Just ask any of our over 27,000 associates who work at Five Below and they’ll tell you there’s no other place like it. It all starts with our purpose and then, The Five Below Way, which is our values and behaviors that each and every associate believes in. It’s all about culture at Five Below, making this a place that can inspire you as much as you inspire us with big ideas, super energy, passion, and the ability to make the workplace a WOWplace! Five Below is seeking a Regulatory and Compliance Attorney to build, implement, and oversee a comprehensive regulatory compliance program for one of the nation’s fastest-growing value retailers. As Five Below continues to expand its store footprint and product assortment, the volume, breadth, and velocity of the products it sells create a dynamic and increasingly complex regulatory environment. This role is central to ensuring that the products Five Below offers meet all applicable federal, state, and local requirements before they reach the shelf, protecting both our customers and the Five Below brand. Reporting into the Chief Legal Officer, the Regulatory and Compliance Attorney will serve as a principal architect and steward of Five Below’s enterprise-wide regulatory compliance program. While the role carries a primary emphasis on product compliance—including product safety, chemical compliance, labeling, and packaging—product compliance is only one component of a broader mandate. As a publicly traded company with a global sourcing footprint, Five Below is subject to a wide range of legal and regulatory obligations, and this role is responsible for helping to build and oversee a program that addresses compliance holistically. This includes anti-corruption and anti-bribery (e.g., the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA)), advertising, marketing and labelling compliance, supply chain and vendor compliance, data privacy and cybersecurity, corporate responsibility obligations, and public-company governance and disclosure requirements. The position is strategically important because Five Below’s business model depends on sourcing and selling a high-volume, rapidly refreshed assortment of goods across a global supply chain; disciplined, proactive compliance across all of these areas is essential to sustaining that model while mitigating regulatory, financial, and reputational risk. The attorney will partner closely with Legal, Compliance, and cross-functional business teams to embed compliance into the product lifecycle and translate complex legal requirements into practical, business-focused guidance in a fast-paced national retail environment. This is a builder’s role for a regulatory attorney who thrives on establishing and scaling programs, is comfortable operating with autonomy, and can move fluidly between technical regulatory analysis and pragmatic business counsel.

Enterprise Compliance Program Design and Management.
