Compliance Analyst

Jeeves is a groundbreaking financial operating system built for global businesses — providing corporate cards, cross-border payments, and spend management software within one unified platform. We operate across 40+ countries, serving thousands of companies ranging from high-growth startups to established enterprises managing complex global finances.

Jeeves has been recognized as one of The Information's 50 Most Promising Startups (2023), a YC Top Company 2021–2023, and winner of "Fintech of the Year" at the European Fintech Awards. Since raising our Series C, we have scaled rapidly — now processing billions in transaction volume annually across North America, Latin America, and Europe.

About the Role Jeeves has built one of the most ambitious financial platforms in Latin America, and Mexico is at the center of it. We process billions in cross-border payments, issue corporate cards under a complex regulatory framework, and serve businesses that depend on us to get it right — every day, across every transaction. As we scale toward Series D and beyond, our compliance posture in Mexico needs to match our ambitions. That's where you come in.

As our Compliance Officer in Mexico City, you'll own the operational compliance function for our Mexico entity — managing regulatory filings with CNBV, SAT, and Banxico, maintaining and strengthening our AML/KYC program, and building the internal controls framework that lets us move fast without creating regulatory exposure. You'll work closely with our COO, legal team, and product organization to ensure compliance is embedded in how we build — not bolted on after.

This is not a purely administrative role. We expect you to understand the regulatory intent behind the requirements, not just check the boxes. You'll flag issues early, propose practical solutions, and be the person our leadership team trusts to tell them the truth about where we stand.
