Jeeves is a groundbreaking financial operating system built for global businesses — providing corporate cards, cross-border payments, and spend management software within one unified platform. We operate across 40+ countries, serving thousands of companies ranging from high-growth startups to established enterprises managing complex global finances.
Jeeves has been recognized as one of The Information's 50 Most Promising Startups (2023), a YC Top Company 2021–2023, and winner of "Fintech of the Year" at the European Fintech Awards. Since raising our Series C, we have scaled rapidly — now processing billions in transaction volume annually across North America, Latin America, and Europe.
About the Role
Jeeves has built one of the most ambitious financial platforms in Latin America, and Mexico is at the center of it. We process billions in cross-border payments, issue corporate cards under a complex regulatory framework, and serve businesses that depend on us to get it right — every day, across every transaction. As we scale toward Series D and beyond, our compliance posture in Mexico needs to match our ambitions. That's where you come in.
As our Compliance Officer in Mexico City, you'll own the operational compliance function for our Mexico entity — managing regulatory filings with CNBV, SAT, and Banxico, maintaining and strengthening our AML/KYC program, and building the internal controls framework that lets us move fast without creating regulatory exposure. You'll work closely with our COO, legal team, and product organization to ensure compliance is embedded in how we build — not bolted on after.
This is not a purely administrative role. We expect you to understand the regulatory intent behind the requirements, not just check the boxes. You'll flag issues early, propose practical solutions, and be the person our leadership team trusts to tell them the truth about where we stand.
What You'll Do
- Prepare and submit required reports to CNBV, Banxico, SAT, and CONDUSEF on schedule with zero late filings
- Monitor regulatory developments and emerging guidance from Mexican financial regulators, translating changes into internal action plans
- Coordinate with external legal counsel on licensing requirements, regulatory inquiries, and formal correspondence with authorities
- Maintain a compliance calendar covering all recurring filings, renewals, and reporting deadlines
- Operate and continuously improve Jeeves's AML/KYC program in compliance with LFPIORPI and Banxico circulares
- Conduct enhanced due diligence on high-risk clients, transactions, and counterparties; escalate suspicious activity per SAT reporting requirements
- Own the PEP screening and sanctions list monitoring workflows, ensuring timely reviews and dispositions
- Prepare and file Avisos de Operaciones Relevantes (AOR), Operaciones Inusuales, and other SAT reports accurately and on time
- Maintain and update the company's compliance policies and procedures library, ensuring they reflect current regulatory requirements and operational realities
- Design and deliver compliance training for internal teams — especially onboarding programs for commercial and operations staff
- Conduct periodic internal compliance reviews and control testing; document findings and drive remediation with business owners
- Support internal audit activities and prepare materials for external audits or regulatory examinations
- Advise product and operations teams on compliance requirements for new products, features, and market expansions — particularly for cross-border payments and corporate card issuance
- Review customer onboarding workflows and risk tiers to ensure KYB/KYC controls are calibrated to Jeeves's risk appetite
- Partner with the technology team to ensure compliance-relevant data is captured, retained, and reportable per regulatory requirements
- Serve as the day-to-day compliance point of contact for the Mexico operations team, escalating material issues to the COO and legal leadership
- Collaborate with regional compliance teams across other Jeeves markets to share best practices and ensure consistency
- Maintain relationships with Jeeves's external compliance advisors, auditors, and regulatory counsel
