Head of Compliance
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, navigation, cookie, legal, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Our Compensation Philosophy!" maybe not needed? It's a section but we need to include only if real specific content. It has content about compensation philosophy but no specific numbers; it's generic. The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Benefits we have specific details: health coverage, PTO, 401(k), equity, equipment, office & education allowance, wellness, annual global offsite. So we can include Benefits section. Pay section: they have "Our Compensation Philosophy!" but no specific pay numbers; it's generic. Should we include Pay? The instruction says never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. They state compensation philosophy but not actual pay range. Likely we should not create a Pay section because it's not specific. Schedule: they have In-Office Expectations (hybrid). That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section (maybe heading "Schedule") with details about office expectations. But the instruction: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use those headings if content matches. We have Overview (maybe About the role). We have What You'll Do (Responsibilities). What We're Looking For (Requirements/Qualifications/Skills). Benefits & Perks (Benefits). In-Office Expectations (Schedule). We should not include Pay.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: EEO statement, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove "Our Compensation Philosophy!" maybe we can incorporate into Benefits? But it's separate. Since we are not making Pay section, we could omit that paragraph entirely? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. If we omit the compensation philosophy paragraph, we are losing substantive information (though it's vague). But maybe it's considered boilerplate? It's not exactly boilerplate; it's a statement about compensation philosophy. However, the instruction says never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It doesn't say we must include a Pay section if they have philosophy. We could include a
under maybe "About the role" or separate? But we need to follow headings list. Could we include a
under "About the role" that includes the compensation philosophy? That would be mixing sections. Better to create a section "Compensation Philosophy" but not in allowed headings list. The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect us to use those headings only. So we should map content to those headings. Compensation philosophy could go under "About the role" or maybe we skip it as it's not specific pay. But we risk losing info. However, the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information. The compensation philosophy is substantive? It's generic but still info. I'd include it as a
under "About the role" maybe after overview.
Let's structure:
About the role
At Breeze, we're building the AI-powered infrastructure layer for global commerce, making it radically simpler for businesses to sell, get paid, and operate across markets. ... (overview paragraph). Also include compensation philosophy paragraph? Could add after overview.
But we need to avoid duplication. Let's extract overview text: "At Breeze, we're building the AI-powered infrastructure layer for global commerce, making it radically simpler for businesses to sell, get paid, and operate across markets. We go far beyond traditional payment processing. Breeze combines global payments, AI, stablecoins, and a Merchant of Record-like model to take on the complexity businesses typically manage themselves, including compliance, risk, fraud, chargebacks, reconciliation, and customer support. Our goal is simple: let businesses focus on building and selling great products while Breeze handles the complexity behind getting paid. Backed by Sequoia Capital, Multicoin Capital, and The Chainsmokers, Breeze is a successful, rapidly growing, and exceptionally well-capitalized company. We have the runway to think long term while remaining early enough that every person joining today can have a meaningful impact on what we build."
Then after that there is "Overview We’re hiring a Head of Compliance..." That's basically the role overview. We can combine.
We'll produce:
About the role
At Breeze, we're building the AI-powered infrastructure layer for global commerce, making it radically simpler for businesses to sell, get paid, and operate across markets. ... (the overview). We’re hiring a Head of Compliance to build and lead the compliance function that will help Breeze scale across products, markets, and geographies. This is a high-impact leadership role with real ownership and a seat at the table. You’ll own Breeze’s compliance program end to end, from BSA/AML and financial crimes to licensing, regulatory examinations, and international expansion, while helping the business move quickly without taking on unnecessary regulatory risk. You’ll work closely with Product, Engineering, Legal, Risk, Operations, and executive leadership to turn complex regulatory requirements into practical solutions that enable the business. As Breeze expands across the U.S., Europe, Singapore, and new markets, you’ll help determine how we enter, what we need to build, and how we scale responsibly. We’re looking for a hands-on compliance leader who combines deep regulatory expertise with a builder mentality. Someone who can set the strategy, engage confidently with regulators and partners, develop a strong team, and still get into the details when needed. If you’re excited to build, not just maintain, and want to shape the compliance foundation behind a fast-growing global payments company, we’d love to meet you.

- Oversee our international expansion and acquisition and maintenance of money transmission licenses.
- Be comfortable managing a Compliance team in multiple jurisdictions (U.S, Europe, Singapore).
- Act as the BSA/AML Officer, operationalizing KYC/KYB, enhanced due diligence, transaction monitoring, and suspicious activity investigations and reporting (SARs), and continuously iterating on those processes.
- Engage with regulators, manage examinations and audits by state, federal, and international authorities, and translate regulatory requirements into clear direction for Breeze stakeholders.
- Lead the compliance workstreams for entry into new markets.
- Conduct regular compliance risk assessments, audits, and gap analyses, including customer risk scoring and product and service risk analysis, and partner cross-functionally to mitigate identified risk across product and operations.

Nice to Have could be included under Requirements as well? Or maybe separate "Qualifications" but we can keep under Requirements as additional bullet points prefixed with "Nice to have". But instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Nice to Have into Requirements as separate bullet points.
Nice to Have list:

In-Office Expectations text:
Employees based in our New York City, NY office follow a hybrid work model and are expected to work from the office three days per week. Employees based in our Singapore office are expected to work on-site five days per week. In-office expectations may vary slightly depending on role, team, and business needs.

We believe this structure enables strong execution, close collaboration, and effective teamwork across our global offices.
