Dodo Payments

<p><strong>You must be able to sit on a live call and give a merchant or salesperson a correct compliance answer on the spot — no legal degree required, but no back-office-only candidates either.</strong> <br><br><strong>About the Role</strong></p>
<p>Dodo Payments is a merchant of record. Sales calls, partnership conversations, and merchant support queries constantly raise the same question: what can we support, for whom, where, and on what terms.</p>
<p>This role is the compliance seat in those conversations — finding the workable path for a customer we want, and being clear, fast, when there isn't one.</p>
<p><strong>Responsibilities</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Answer on the call.</strong> Join sales, partnership, and CX conversations where tax, compliance, acceptance, or onboarding questions come up, and give an accurate answer live — not a follow-up email.</li>
<li><strong>Work the compliant path for complex accounts.</strong> Assess larger or higher-risk merchants, loop in Risk where the case turns on risk assessment, and bring a recommendation to the Head of Compliance &amp; Legal for sign-off.</li>
<li><strong>Own onboarding for complex and higher-risk segments</strong> — from initial assessment through required documentation and conditions — and turn recurring cases into a repeatable path CX can run without you.</li>
<li><strong>Know when to escalate.</strong> Route genuinely novel questions for a decision rather than improvising one.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Requirements</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>2–4 years in compliance, regulatory affairs, policy, or a commercial role with real regulatory content (regulatory consulting, industry associations, in-house teams).</li>
<li>Can learn a framework cold and explain it simply, live, to a non-specialist who needs a usable answer now.</li>
<li>Deal-facing and comfortable without a script: the compliance path often isn't already defined when you're asked for it.</li>
<li>Commercial instinct with a spine — cares whether the deal moves, but will say no to a room that wants a yes.</li>
<li>Knows the edge of their own authority: decisive on what they know, disciplined about escalating what they don't.</li>
<li>No legal qualification required. Payments, fintech, or regulated/restricted-category experience is a strong plus.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What This Isn't</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Not back-office or documentation-only — this is live and conversational, not written-and-filed.</li>
<li>Not policy-setting on day one. The Head of Compliance &amp; Legal sets acceptance positions and risk appetite; that scope opens up as you earn it.</li>
<li>Not merchant risk operations, AML alert review, or transaction monitoring.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What Good Looks Like (3–6 months)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>New categories and customer types unlocked for onboarding, each case worked up and documented.</li>
<li>Complex accounts onboarded with the compliance path defined before the deal closes.</li>
<li>Routine compliance and tax questions answered on the call, no escalation.</li>
<li>A repeatable onboarding path for higher-risk segments that CX can run on its own.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What You Get</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>A commercial seat inside a compliance function at a merchant of record operating across multiple jurisdictions.</li>
<li>Direct customer and partner exposure from day one.</li>
<li>Real grounding in cross-border payments regulation, card scheme rules, and merchant-of-record structures — learned on live cases.</li>
<li>A credible path to shaping the policies themselves, earned on the judgment you show.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Benefits</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Health and accidental insurance</li>
<li>Clear growth path based on performance</li>
</ul>
