About The Position

At Mesh, our mission is to enable consumers to pay and be paid with any asset. Today, trillions of dollars in tokenized assets exist but remain largely unusable for everyday commerce. Mesh is bridging this gap by making crypto payments reliable, useful, and ubiquitous. We combine a powerful orchestration engine with a seamless consumer app to unlock liquidity for the world. Backed by leading investors like PayPal Ventures, Paradigm, and Galaxy Ventures, we are building the infrastructure for the next era of the global economy. Join us! Overview We’re looking for a Compliance Manager to take the lead in shaping and scaling Mesh’s global regulatory footprint. You’ll sit at the center of our expansion across U.S. state MTL frameworks, international payments and e-money regimes, and crypto/digital asset licensing in Europe, the UK, APAC, LATAM, and beyond. You’re fluent in the details — whether that’s driving an NMLS submission or navigating frameworks like FCA, MiCA, or MAS — but you also think bigger than the application. You partner seamlessly with legal, finance, product, and technology to turn regulatory complexity into strategic advantage. Most importantly, you’ll build compliance infrastructure that unlocks growth, accelerates market entry, and scales with the business in a fast-moving fintech environment.
