Affirm is reinventing credit to make it more honest and friendly, giving consumers the flexibility to buy now and pay later without any hidden fees or compounding interest.
Affirm’s Compliance team crafts and maintains a compliance program that proactively addresses regulatory requirements while also identifying potential compliance issues that may arise. Compliance program activities include advisory, training, testing, monitoring, reporting, and oversight. Although a second line of defense, compliance partners with the business to support new products, markets, and initiatives, as well as issue identification, remediation plans and risk assessment. Compliance uses multiple data sources to enable informed decision making, strengthen controls and provide for better treatment of consumers.
Affirm is seeking a Compliance Analyst II to support the marketing compliance program, either collaborating with Affirm’s Marketing organization or helping merchant-facing teams with marketing choices. In growing the company’s markets and products, Compliance plays a fundamental role regarding objective and key results (OKRs), providing expertise related to regulatory requirements. This analyst has the opportunity to work with broader Legal and Compliance to identify and assess risk within applicable requirements, plus provide expertise on risk mitigation. The analyst will report to the Marketing Compliance Lead and will work cross-functionally with other teams.
