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 money transmission and AML/KYC to trust & safety and privacy.

• 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
