At Tilt, we see a side of people that traditional lenders miss. Our mobile-first products and machine learning-powered credit models look beyond credit scores, using over 250 real-time financial signals to recognize real potential. With millions of customers worldwide, we're not just changing how people access financial products — we're creating a new credit system that backs the working, whatever they're working toward.
México was Tilt's first market outside the US. Launched in 2022, the business has scaled quickly — thousands of customers served, a credit card launch approaching, and a new AML law creating obligations that didn't exist a year ago. The compliance function to support all of it needs to come before the growth does.
Mexico's compliance function is yours to build and run. Not from scratch — the US compliance team has frameworks, playbooks, and people who've done this before — but you're the one who makes it work for Mexico. You'll own both AML and regulatory compliance for Tilt MX, a dual mandate that reflects how the Mexico business actually operates. Your primary partners are the Head of Collections and the broader Mexico leadership group, who need a compliance partner that helps them move, not one that slows them down.
You'll report to the Head of Compliance and draw on the US team's expertise, but the in-market decisions are yours. This role exists now because Mexico passed a new AML law that materially changes Tilt's obligations in-country — and because a credit card launch is coming with third-party compliance expectations attached. Both need an owner before the obligations arrive.
Own the AML program end-to-end. Adapt existing US frameworks to meet LFPIORPI obligations, serve as primary point of contact for the UIF and SAT, and run the daily program: KYC, sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, and investigations.
Operationalize complaints and issues management for Mexico. Take the US playbook and translate it into a Mexico-appropriate version — get both programs running and documented.
Build the regulatory compliance layer alongside the AML core. Maintain policies aligned with CONDUSEF, CNBV, and PROFECO; monitor regulatory developments and communicate implications to the Mexico leadership team before they become problems.
Partner with the collections team on consumer-facing compliance. Keep collections practices — customer communications, third-party vendor oversight, and operations — clean under applicable Mexican consumer protection requirements.
Own compliance for the credit card launch. Map third-party expectations from external partners, close gaps, and ensure Tilt MX is compliance-ready before the product goes live.
Keep the program audit-ready. Run periodic risk assessments, maintain documentation, and be the single source of truth for Mexico's compliance posture.
Minimum of 8 years of experience in compliance, with at least 3 years in the financial services or fintech industry.
In-depth knowledge and practical experience with Mexican financial regulations, particularly in the context of digital lending, AML/CFT (LFPIORPI), and consumer protection (CONDUSEF, CNBV, PROFECO).
Demonstrated experience managing AML/CFT programs, including KYC, transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, and regulatory reporting (e.g., UIF reporting obligations).
Experience with consumer lending products — the regulatory surface here is distinct from commercial or institutional finance.
Fluency in Spanish and English; you'll operate in a Spanish-language business environment daily.
Experience adapting compliance programs to new regulatory contexts — you know when to adopt a US playbook wholesale and when local requirements demand something different.
The operating style of someone who has been the compliance function, not just a member of one. You build trust with business teams, run toward problems, and know the difference between "we can't do this" and "here's how we do this safely."
