Compliance Officer, Consumer Protection - Novi

In June 2019, the Diem Association announced plans for Diem - a new global cryptocurrency that runs on the Diem network. Diems mission is to create a simple global financial infrastructure that empowers billions of people around the world. Its powered by blockchain technology and the plan is to launch it in 2021. Novi is a newly formed Facebook subsidiary whose goal is to provide financial services that will enable people to access and participate in the Diem network. Our first product will be a digital wallet for Diem, a new global currency powered by blockchain technology, and it will be available in 2020 as a standalone app. Our vision is to reinvent money and transform the global economy so people everywhere can live better lives. Novi will let you send Diem to almost anyone with a smartphone, as easily and instantly as you might send a text message or photo, and at low to no cost. And, in time, we plan to offer additional services for people and businesses, such as paying bills with the push of a button, buying a cup of coffee with the scan of a code, or riding your local public transit without needing to carry cash or a metro pass. We're still early in the process of developing Novi, and are looking for talented, passionate, mission-driven people to join our team so we can build a future together that empowers billions of people around the world.

You will work closely with Operations, Anti-Fraud, Engineering, Marketing and other teams to design and implement controls within our business to ensure compliance. You will ensure that appropriate functional subject matter experts within Compliance, Legal, Data Science, Engineering, Product and other teams are integrated within the programs appropriately.
