About Upstart

At Upstart, we’re united by a mission that matters: to radically reduce the cost and complexity of borrowing for all Americans. Every day, we bring creativity, experimentation, and advanced AI to reshape access to credit, helping millions move forward financially with clarity and confidence.

As the leading AI lending marketplace, we partner with banks and credit unions to expand access to affordable credit through technology that’s both radically intelligent and deeply human. Our platform runs over one million predictions per borrower using more than 3,000 signals, powering smarter, fairer decisions for millions of customers. But the numbers only hint at the impact. Every idea, every voice, and every contribution moves us closer to a world where credit never stands between people and their financial progress.

We’re proudly digital-first, giving most Upstarters the flexibility to do their best work from wherever they thrive, alongside teammates across 80+ cities in the US and Canada. Digital-first doesn’t mean distant. We’re intentional about in-person connection through team onsites, planning sessions, and moments that spark creativity and trust. And whether you choose to work primarily from home or collaborate in-person from one of our offices in Columbus, Austin, the Bay Area, or New York City, you’ll have the support to work in the way that works best for you.

If you’re energized by tackling meaningful problems, excited to innovate with purpose, and motivated by work that truly matters, we’d love to hear from you.

The Team:
Upstart's Growth Compliance team partners with Marketing, Product, Legal, and second-line Compliance to help the business grow responsibly. The team enables the launch of marketing campaigns, customer experiences, and lending products by providing practical, risk-based compliance guidance that supports innovation while meeting consumer protection requirements.

This is a First Line of Defense (1LOD) role, working directly with the business to enable growth while managing risk.

This is an opportunity to help build and scale Upstart's first-line Growth Compliance function. During your first year, you'll play a key role in developing review frameworks, operating processes, and scalable ways of working that support new marketing, advertising, customer experience, and partnership initiatives as the business continues to grow.

• Knowledge of secured lending products, including HELOC or other secured consumer lending products.

Preferred Qualifications

• Knowledge of compliance considerations related to AI-enabled customer experiences or automated decisioning.

• Ability to translate complex regulatory requirements into practical guidance, procedures, and scalable review processes.
