Job Description
Affirm is a financial technology company that provides clear and predictable payment solutions for consumers, merchants, and partners without hidden fees.

In this position, you will operate independently to deliver risk-based guidance across marketing, onboarding, digital wallets, servicing, and dispute processes. You will collaborate daily with Product, Engineering, and Operations teams throughout the entire development lifecycle.

Compensation includes a structured base pay range depending on location, equity opportunities, monthly technology and wellness stipends, and comprehensive health insurance benefits that cover one hundred percent of premiums for employees and their dependents. Visa sponsorship is unavailable for this opening.

- Create and deliver compliance reference materials and training targeted at Card regulatory duties.
- Identify regulatory risks early in the product development lifecycle for new and evolving features.
Requirements
- Extensive experience working in a financial services compliance advisory capacity.
- Working knowledge of EFTA (Reg E) and TILA (Reg Z)/CARD Act regulations as applied to card products.

- Experience managing issues from root-cause analysis through to sustainable control remediation.
Qualifications
- Bachelor degree with 8 or more years of relevant experience, Master degree with 6 or more years, PhD with 3 or more years, or equivalent.

- Familiarity with TISA (Reg DD) and UDAAP regulations.
