About The Role

We're hiring a Head of Compliance to design and own Whop's compliance program across all business lines. You'll own regulatory strategy and operational compliance across our payments platform and marketplace — from AML/KYC to trust & safety and privacy. You'll work closely with Product, Payments, and Leadership to build compliance into our business. This role will be part of our Legal, Compliance and Risk function.

Scope

  • Design, build, and scale Whop's overall compliance program 
  • Own AML/KYC, sanctions screening, and transaction monitoring programs
  • Manage trust & safety frameworks, prohibited products policies, and merchant underwriting
  • Manage privacy, data protection, and regulatory compliance (GDPR, CCPA, etc.)
  • Ensure new features (including crypto/stablecoin) are compliant by design

What We're Looking For

  • 7+ years in compliance, AML/KYC, or regulatory affairs at payments/fintech/marketplace companies
  • Comfortable with regulatory ambiguity — you can translate unclear rules into defensible positions
  • Strong with numbers, metrics, and operational details
  • High agency, builder mindset, good partner
  • Exposure to crypto/stablecoins is a plus

Benefits Overview

  • Competitive base salary + equity
  • Unlimited PTO, full health/vision/dental coverage
  • Lunch & dinner M-F + Equinox + Citibike + free Ubers after 10pm + $9k rent subsidy (within 4 blocks of 300 Kent)
