Principal SME Regulatory Affairs — Banking & AI Compliance

Serve as Monstro's external regulatory authority

• Represent Monstro in conversations with banks' compliance, risk, and regulatory stakeholders during vendor diligence and deployment discussions — resolving concerns quickly and credibly so deals keep moving
• Participate in industry forums, regulatory working groups, and policy consultations as a recognized voice on AI and financial services compliance
• Build relationships with regulators proactively, so that when questions arise they are answered from a position of established trust rather than reactive scrambling
• Support enterprise sales by providing substantive, authoritative answers to compliance and risk questions in real time — turning what is often a bottleneck into a competitive advantage

Own Monstro's regulatory strategy and positioning

• Define and maintain Monstro's regulatory posture across U.S. and international markets, including open banking rules, consumer data protections, and emerging AI governance frameworks
• Develop clear, well-reasoned positions on nuanced questions: where AI-driven financial guidance sits relative to regulated advice, how data flows within banking ecosystems, and how Monstro is appropriately classified as a vendor
• Anticipate regulatory change far enough in advance that Monstro is ready before the market is — turning regulatory preparedness into a speed advantage over competitors who react rather than plan
• Partner with leadership on market expansion, sequencing entry into new jurisdictions with the regulatory pathway already mapped

Shape the product from a compliance and risk perspective

• Embed alongside product and engineering teams as the authoritative voice on what regulated financial institutions will and won't accept — providing decisions, not deliberations
• Define practical guardrails for AI outputs — including financial guidance boundaries, model explainability standards, and human oversight requirements — that are specific enough to build against immediately
• Translate regulatory expectations into concrete product requirements early in the development cycle, so compliance is built in rather than bolted on and rework is minimized
• Identify risks in proposed product directions early enough to propose solutions, not just flag concerns — keeping momentum intact
• Ensure regional regulatory variations are understood and reflected in product decisions before they become blockers

Build and maintain the compliance and risk framework

• Design Monstro's enterprise risk and compliance architecture, including policy frameworks, risk registers, and governance processes appropriate for a global financial infrastructure provider
• Build frameworks that are robust without being bureaucratic — structured enough to satisfy institutional scrutiny, lean enough not to slow the business down
• Own the trust and assurance roadmap in partnership with security and engineering — including SOC 2, data governance standards, and enterprise security expectations
• Establish the processes that allow Monstro to scale into new markets at pace, without compliance becoming the long pole in the tent
