Compliance Counsel, Prediction Markets

Betr is building a prediction markets product offering event-based contracts, and we're looking for an experienced compliance and regulatory professional to help build and scale our regulatory compliance program. This is a high-impact role for someone who wants to work at the frontier of a fast-evolving regulatory space.

This position will work closely with senior leadership and cross-functional teams (product, engineering, business) to design a compliant product and build the regulatory infrastructure to support it. While the primary focus is prediction markets, this person will also provide support across our other consumer-facing verticals as needs arise.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is both business-minded and regulatory-focused, and who wants to play a meaningful role in shaping the future of the prediction markets industry. The successful candidate will work closely with leadership to help shape the strategy, regulatory infrastructure, and long-term direction of a rapidly growing prediction markets business.

Note: This role does not require a law degree or bar license. We welcome candidates with deep regulatory and compliance experience in CFTC-regulated markets, whether they come from a legal, compliance, regulatory affairs, or operations background.

Location Preference:  While this role is Miami-preferred, we are open to candidates from all locations and are focused on finding the best overall fit for the position.

What You'll Do:

Build, implement, and maintain a comprehensive compliance program for our prediction markets product

Advise on CFTC compliance for event contracts and prediction market products, including product structure, contract terms, and market rules

Assist with regulatory registrations, applications, and filings, and prepare the organization for the obligations that accompany them

Draft, review, and update policies, procedures, rulebooks, terms and conditions, and other documentation governing the trading of our products

Review marketing, advertising, and educational materials for compliance with applicable CFTC and NFA rules and regulations

Interface with regulators and self-regulatory organizations, and help prepare the company for regulatory engagement and examinations

Partner with the firm’s risk, operations and IT departments

Partner with external counsel on specialized regulatory matters

Identify, analyze, and mitigate regulatory and legal risk while supporting commercial objectives

Provide ad hoc compliance and legal support across our other verticals

What We're Looking For:

5–10+ years of experience in regulatory, compliance, or legal work involving CFTC-regulated products and entities (e.g., designated contract markets, FCMs, or prediction markets). Law degree and bar license welcome but not required.

Strong working knowledge of the Commodity Exchange Act and CFTC and NFA rules; familiarity with the regulatory frameworks applicable to event contracts and prediction markets is a significant plus

Experience building or maintaining a compliance program, ideally in a startup or high-growth environment

Track record of standing up compliant products and operations under federal regulatory frameworks

Familiarity with the gaming, sports betting, fantasy sports, or related consumer verticals is a plus

Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex regulatory requirements into practical guidance for business teams

Strong project management skills and the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment

A solutions-oriented mindset and the ability to operate with limited precedent
