Job Description
Affirm is a financial technology company that provides clear and predictable payment solutions for consumers with no hidden fees. The organization is currently hiring a remote Compliance Manager, Card to oversee compliance advisory functions specifically for the Affirm Card program.
In this position, the professional will manage regulatory advisory work from end to end across card onboarding, marketing, wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay, servicing, and disputes.

Key duties involve navigating novel regulatory questions using sound judgment under UDAAP, TILA, and EFTA, reviewing user experience and marketing materials, and performing root-cause analysis for card compliance issues to establish sustainable fixes. The person stepping into this job will also prepare for bank audits and regulatory exams, manage risk assessments, and develop internal training materials.
Compensation includes a base salary determined by location and experience, alongside equity awards, monthly stipends for wellness, tech, and health, and 100% subsidized medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees and their dependents. Affirm operates on a remote-first model within the country of employment, though new hires participate in an in-person onboarding experience.
