As our Compliance Manager (AML BSA Officer), you will own and scale Thera’s compliance function as we grow. You will work directly with identity and fraud prevention platform, our fintech and banking partners, and our clients to design compliant onboarding and monitoring workflows that support fast, responsible growth.
This role has clear growth into senior compliance leadership as Thera scales.
General Description
About Thera
Thera is building the financial OS for modern SMBs. Payroll, payments, treasury, spend, accounting, and docs all in one ecosystem. We are backed by leading investors including Y Combinator, 10X Founders, Zillionize, Amino Capital, and others.
We work closely with banks, fintech partners, and global vendors to move money safely and compliantly at scale.
About the Role
As Compliance Manager (AML BSA Officer), you will be the day to day owner of our AML and BSA program while helping build the broader compliance foundation at Thera.
You will work hands on with our identity and fraud prevention platform, directly with our fintech and banking partners, and closely with our clients to ensure smooth onboarding, ongoing monitoring, and timely issue resolution.
This is a builder role. You will be creating processes, documentation, and controls that scale with the business, not inheriting a fully built compliance org.

Ongoing monitoring, reviews, and escalations
Direct coordination with banking and fintech partners on compliance requirements
Client communication related to compliance questions and reviews
Policy drafting, documentation, and internal controls
Support for audits, exams, and partner reviews as needed
Process design that balances regulatory rigor with customer experience
About You
3 to 7 plus years in fintech, payments, banking, or financial services compliance
Experience owning or operating within an AML and BSA program
Hands on KYC and KYB experience, ideally with Alloy or similar tools
Comfortable acting as a named AML BSA Officer where required
Strong judgment and ability to operate in ambiguous environments
Clear communicator with both clients and partners
Bias toward pragmatic, scalable solutions
Why Thera
This role offers meaningful ownership, direct exposure to partners and regulators, and a clear path to senior compliance leadership as the company grows.
