Compliance Associate

You're a natural systems thinker who gets energized by turning complex, ambiguous requirements into something clean and usable. In this role, you'll sit at the intersection of regulatory compliance and operational execution — taking dense regulatory frameworks and translating them into workflows, procedures, and documentation that the rest of the business can actually act on.

This isn't just a "keep the lights on" compliance role. You'll be building and maintaining the structural backbone of Betterment's compliance programs — designing how processes work, not just following them.

This role is based out of our NYC office, with in-office attendance required Monday through Thursday. Salary range is disclosed per NYC requirements; actual compensation varies based on experience and performance.

• New York City: $90,000 - $105,000
• Translate SEC and FINRA regulatory requirements into clear, actionable compliance workflows and process documentation
• Design and maintain compliance program infrastructure — building and managing workflows in tools like Jira and Claude to track, route, and execute compliance processes at scale
• Build and maintain procedures, process maps, and control documentation that are accurate, readable, and built to scale
• Identify where compliance processes break down or create friction, and propose structured solutions
• Partner with teams across the business to implement compliance requirements in ways that are practical and well-understood
• Support day-to-day program management across a range of compliance workstreams, keeping processes moving
