Description

About Okoora Okoora is building the global category of Embedded FX Infrastructure. We sit at the intersection of cross-border payments, FX execution, and risk management, and our infrastructure powers real financial activity at scale. We are a regulated fintech operating across multiple jurisdictions. Compliance is not a back office function. It is a core operational layer that runs at the speed of the business and protects everything we build. The Role We are looking for a Compliance Lead who will own the compliance function at Okoora end to end, and who will lead the transformation of how compliance work is done at the company. This role is regulatory in its core, and operational in its delivery. You are the company’s Compliance Officer. You sign off on the work. You are accountable for it. You operate hands on, not from a distance. What makes this role different from a traditional compliance role is the second half of the mandate. We do not believe compliance in 2026 is a function that runs on manual reviews and email threads. We believe it runs on a hybrid system of human judgment and AI agents that handle the volume, the screening, the monitoring, and the routine reporting under your supervision and accountability. You will lead the design and adoption of that system. You will not write code. You will work with our engineering team to define what the agents do, where they decide, where they escalate to a human, and how their output is verified before anything goes out the door. You own the methodology. They build the technology.
