About This Job

Energy CX is hiring a Director of Compliance to build out the company's compliance function. This role sits on the Strategy & Operations team — a high-visibility, high-output group that manages company-wide reporting, projects, and processes. It's not a role that executes an existing playbook — it's a senior, high-visibility hire who will design and stand up the systems, policy, and infrastructure Energy CX needs as a multi-state regulated business, hold signing authority on behalf of the company, and partner with outside General Counsel as a peer on regulatory substance.

Objectives of this Role

• Design and stand up ECX's internal compliance function, including a system of record, escalation matrix, signing-authority policy, and other core systems that create a strong compliance foundation as we scale
• Hold signing authority and exercise independent judgment on contract execution and regulatory matters, partnering with outside General Counsel as a peer
• Own regulatory and licensing oversight across multiple states, coordinating with outside counsel on entity formation, registered-agent, and PUC licensing
• Build a compliance program that supports execution across initiatives like international growth, internal policy documentation, and employee compliance trainings

Daily and Monthly Responsibilities

• Review, redline, and manage NDAs, MSAs, RFPs, and vendor agreements within SLAs
• Translate outside counsel and regulatory guidance into internal policy and process
• Build and maintain the compliance system of record, SOPs, and escalation matrix
• Complete industry-required regulatory filings (e.g., State level PUCs)
• Coordinate with outside counsel and licensing partners on multi-state filings, renewals, and deadlines
• Build and maintain compliance training (LMS) and required policy documentation
• Partner cross-functionally on compliance-related special projects

Skills & Qualifications

• 6+ years in compliance, including experience building or architecting a compliance function — not just operating within one
• Comfortable holding signing authority and exercising independent judgment on when to escalate to legal counsel
• Strong contract review experience (NDAs, MSAs, RFPs) — able to review, redline, and execute autonomously
• Skilled at translating legal/regulatory guidance into operational policy; able to partner with outside/General Counsel as a peer
• Highly organized and self-directed, with a track record of operating autonomously in a fast-paced environment

Preferred

• Background at a startup or smaller company building compliance infrastructure
• Experience in energy, utilities, insurance, or another multi-state regulated industry
• Experience building a training program (LMS) or policy documentation from scratch
• Proficient in Excel, Microsoft Suite, and Notion

Benefits

• PTO 15 days
• All major holidays
• Full day off on Thursday and Friday of Thanksgiving
• Half day that Wednesday 12/24 - 1/2 Company break (Subject to be longer, but at minimum, all employees can expect this time off)
• Insurance
