Compliance Lead Jobs in Seattle, WA

DESCRIPTION

We are seeking a leader to drive the overall international Compliance Seller Experience (SX) and performance for U.S. merchants. The ideal candidate is passionate about entrepreneurship and motivated to make a meaningful impact on global customers and sellers in a Day 1 business.

Our mission is to expand the successful footprint of North American sellers globally through sales excellence and scalable, automated compliance solutions. While we are already a multi-billion-dollar business, we are still in the early stages—only a small portion of NA sellers have begun their international journey. International compliance represents both our greatest opportunity and our biggest challenge.

This role offers a unique opportunity to innovate and elevate the end-to-end merchant, seller, and customer experience in compliance on a global scale.

Success in this role requires strong ownership, the ability to Think Big, and a Bias for Action. The leader must be comfortable diving deep into complex data, making high-quality decisions with limited information (Are Right, A Lot), and influencing cross-functional stakeholders (Earn Trust). This includes close collaboration with central and worldwide regional compliance teams, as well as external partners such as sellers and service providers.

You will be responsible for driving both short-term program execution and long-term scalable solutions in partnership with product and program teams. Strong documentation and communication skills are essential to gain alignment and accelerate decision-making. We are building a team that thrives in ambiguity, moves quickly, experiments often, and understands global sales operations while engaging leadership to prioritize effectively.

The ideal candidate demonstrates high ownership, operates autonomously, delivers early wins, and builds long-term automated solutions. This role is a strong pathway to becoming a next-generation leader in global eCommerce.

6. Identify global compliance challenges and translate insights into scalable product and program solutions.
7. Collaborate with worldwide stakeholders to standardize and improve compliance processes, including: Increasing clarity of internal and external compliance requirements. Improving SLA and reducing costs.
