The opportunity We're hiring a Compliance Officer to serve as the functional compliance lead for Altruist Advisors, Altruist's new SEC-registered investment adviser. You'll be the primary point of contact and subject-matter expert for the RIA, owning the Investment Adviser Representative (IAR) relationship end-to-end and helping build and scale the RIA's compliance program from the ground up. You'll partner directly with the Head of Compliance and with Product as we launch and grow our new corporate RIA offering.

This is a senior individual-contributor role. You'll own substantive compliance work across the RIA's program — with support — while operating with the judgment and independence to shape how the program is built. You'll also serve as a trusted partner to teams across Product, Engineering, Operations, and Marketing.
