At Nu, Compliance is a strategic partner—not a tollgate. We view effective Risk Management & Compliance as the engine that maintains agility and empowers rapid, responsible growth across multiple global markets. Our team partners directly with internal clients using a targeted friction approach: we focus on the most relevant regulatory risks and embed compliance directly into product design rather than distributing rules after the fact.
The Global Compliance function serves as the Second Line of Defense, responsible for the full regulatory lifecycle: tracking new regulations, advising product and technology teams, testing controls, coordinating regulatory inspections, and monitoring remediation of regulatory issues.
This role is positioned at a pivotal moment. Nu has received conditional approval for a US National Bank Charter. Reporting to the Head of US Compliance, this individual contributor will independently assess complex regulatory questions, influence product and operational decisions, and lead compliance reviews from planning through reporting and remediation validation. The role also contributes to policy development, compliance risk reporting, and advice on regulatory issues.
Success requires strong regulatory judgment, practical experience evaluating controls, and the ability to turn complex requirements and findings into clear, actionable recommendations. You should be comfortable establishing processes, managing competing priorities, and driving work to completion in an evolving business.The role requires someone who can build from scratch, own outcomes, and operate with an entrepreneurial mindset in a highly regulated environment.
