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.
