About the role

About Griffin Hi, we’re Griffin. We’re a fully regulated UK bank that powers the accounts and payments offerings of product-led fintechs and platforms like Uber, Yonder, Prosper, and Sidekick. By doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes, our customers can focus on what they do best - delivering amazing customer experiences. We’ve grown rapidly since our launch in 2024, and today provide the banking backbone behind products in remittance, payroll, wealth, insurance, proptech, payments, neobanking and more. We’re moving into card issuing, stablecoin infrastructure, and agentic finance next as we continue to support the next generation of product-led companies. Learn more about what we do Our culture We believe that smart, motivated, conscientious people thrive in high-trust, high-autonomy environments and have done our best to create such an environment at Griffin. People who thrive here don’t require much hand-holding, and go out of their way to figure out how to contribute in the most valuable way possible. We've been remote-first since we were established in 2017 and we remain so today. Work here is asynchronous and fully flexible - because we want to be a part of your life in a way that helps you to get the most out of both your work and home life. We understand that our culture and ways of working aren’t for everyone, and we’re very intentional about our hiring process as a result. We won't hire people who don’t seem like a strong fit for our core values, even if they're otherwise extremely qualified. Our strong culture has helped us to remain a mission-driven company as we have scaled, and gives our people a clear, explicit operating framework and the space to focus on delivering real value for our customers. Learn more about our culture. The Team You'll join our Operational Controls team within the Service guild, the backbone of how Griffin stays compliant and keeps operational risk visible and manageable as we scale. Working closely with Protect (our second line) and across all operations functions, you'll be the first person dedicated to compliance within the team. You'll define what great compliance support looks like here, keeping Griffin's products and customer outcomes in shape as we grow. The Service Guild at Griffin is the mindful engine room, driving our success. We strive to bring joy to our customers, both internal and external, through systems that just work. There are four core elements to operations at Griffin: fincrime, payments, treasury ops and operational resilience. Across all teams, we place significant emphasis on compassion, ownership and curiosity. You will be empowered to make meaningful decisions and supported to make sure we collectively get those decisions right. The opportunity We want compliance built into how we design, sell and run our products. As our hands on compliance adviser in the first line (the teams who run the business and own its risks), you'll bring regulatory expertise to help our operations, commercial and product teams do exactly that. With card issuing and other launches coming up, there's plenty to get stuck into. What success looks like In your first year, our operations, sales and product teams bring you in early by default, because working with you makes things smoother, not slower. You've guided at least one major launch, like card issuing, from first idea to go live. Our live products have clear governance and outcome monitoring, and Protect (our second line risk and compliance team) sees fewer surprises and finds a stronger compliance foundation in place. To do this you'll be involved in: • Product development: turning regulation into clear requirements, customer journeys, T&Cs and fair value assessments from first idea through product approval to launch. • Product
