Compliance Analyst

About This Role

Growing quickly in a regulated market requires compliance to be a partner rather than a barrier. This role in the Mexico Compliance team ensures that products used by millions of customers are built on a solid regulatory foundation from the initial design phase. You will work closely with the building teams, providing the regulatory perspective for your assigned areas and guiding product, engineering, fraud, and operations teams on launch decisions, structuring, and regulatory expectations. Your main task is to translate complex regulations into clear, actionable advice that teams can implement, taking accountability for the quality of the guidance provided.

Responsibilities

• Partner with product, engineering, and design teams to embed Mexican regulatory requirements into new products and features before they ship
• Translate CNBV, Banxico, and CONDUSEF regulation into clear, actionable guidance that non-compliance teams can build against
• Advise fraud, operations, and customer experience teams on the regulatory obligations shaping their processes and controls
• Own the regulatory assessment for your assigned areas: identify applicable requirements, flag gaps, and drive them to resolution with accountable owners
• Monitor regulatory change in Mexico, assess its impact across the product and operations roadmap, and turn new requirements into concrete work
• Build reusable playbooks and decision frameworks so teams can self-serve on recurring regulatory questions
• Represent Compliance in cross-functional forums, escalating risk decisions with a clear point of view and a recommendation
• Shape how the Compliance function scales with the business by improving how advisory work is prioritized, documented, and measured

Requirements

• Experience in regulatory compliance, legal, or risk within financial services in Mexico: banking, fintech, SOFIPO, or a regulator
• Working knowledge of Mexico's financial regulatory framework, including CNBV, Banxico, and CONDUSEF
• A track record of advising non-legal audiences, such as product managers, engineers, and operations leads, and becoming the person they seek out
• The ability to turn dense regulation into simple, decision-ready guidance without losing precision
• Comfort operating in ambiguity and making judgment calls where regulation is silent or open to interpretation
• Experience influencing cross-functional teams without formal authority
• Professional fluency in Spanish and English

Nice to have:

• Exposure to regulatory reporting, requirements, or inspections from CNBV, CONDUSEF, or Banxico
• Experience in a high-growth technology company or inside a scaling compliance function
• Familiarity with credit, payments, or deposit products in the Mexican market
