Regional Compliance Officer

Rebill is financial infrastructure for the Americas—purpose-built for digital businesses and global companies collecting across Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and the United States.

Through one API and a single contract, companies process domestic and cross-border payments on the rails customers actually use: cards, installments, wallets, bank transfers, and cash. Our platform is built for higher acceptance and real revenue, not just access.

For recurring businesses, Rebill provides an advanced subscription billing engine across the region, with automated recovery of failed payments, invoicing, and multi-currency settlement in USD or local currencies.

We are expanding across the continent to be the leading payments platform in the Americas—known for execution, transparency, and real human support, without stitching together multiple providers.

Rebill is backed by leading global investors such as Tiger Global, Y Combinator (W22), Soma Capital and SV Angel, and angels including Guillermo Rauch (Vercel) and Arash Ferdowsi (Dropbox).

This is Rebill's first full-time hire in Uruguay, and it is a senior seat.

Rebill does not process payments in Uruguay. Uruguay is where our international merchants are contracted, where they get settled, and where the compliance function for the whole group sits. That makes this role different from a domestic compliance job at a local PSP. Most of your work will be about merchants and structures outside the region, applied across five very different regulatory environments at once.

Be clear about what you are walking into. There is no compliance team today and no inherited program. Policies, risk matrix, monitoring rules, onboarding flows and the documentation trail all get built by you, from zero, while the business keeps processing. For the first months you will also be running the daily merchant review queue yourself, before we add an analyst under you. If you want to inherit a mature function and refine it, this is the wrong role. If you have wanted to build one the way you think it should be built, this is unusually direct access to that.

At Rebill everyone uses AI tools as part of their daily work, not only to write but to reason through edge cases, analyze data and move faster. We expect the same from you.

In cross-border payments, the quality of your compliance program decides which markets you can open, which merchants you can take on, and how fast. Every acquirer, sponsor bank and card scheme runs due diligence on Rebill before they let us process a single transaction, and that verdict is either a constraint on growth or a lever for it.

We serve hundreds of companies and move millions of dollars a month across Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and the United States. Companies can sell across the Americas through a single provider—and we operate across six regulatory perimeters today, with more markets ahead.

At that size, and with the footprint that comes with it, the function needs a single senior owner. That is what we are hiring.

You will lead compliance for Rebill across every market we operate in, based in Uruguay.

There is an operation running today: policies and manuals, a risk matrix, KYB and merchant onboarding flows, transaction monitoring in production, and tooling in implementation. It works, and it has been built by people who care about it. What comes next is different: reviewing it with fresh senior eyes, deciding what holds and what gets rebuilt, and raising the whole thing to the standard that a program of this reach and scale needs going forward.

This is our first full-time hire in Uruguay and a senior seat, reporting to the COO with direct access to the founders. The team under you gets built over time, together with the COO and the founders, as the operation and the markets require it. You will be shaping who those people are and what they do.

• The merchant portfolio. The standard for who Rebill onboards and who we turn away: corporate structures across US, European, Asian and Latin American jurisdictions, beneficial ownership through holding chains, sanctions and adverse media screening, risk classification. Review runs as a team effort. Your job is to set the criteria, own the difficult calls and the escalations, and keep moving routine work into automation.

• The program. Policies, manual, risk matrix, onboarding flows, escalation paths, training and recordkeeping. You inherit a working base and take it to the level our regulators, banks and partners expect from a company processing at our volume.

• Monitoring and fraud. Transaction monitoring already runs in production. You decide where it goes next: sharper rules, fewer false positives, and reliable detection of merchants whose real activity has drifted from what they declared at onboarding.

• The regulatory relationship. You are the designated compliance officer of our Uruguayan entity. Across every market you are the functional owner of compliance: local designations stay local, that is how the law works in each jurisdiction, but the standard applied everywhere is yours.

• External due diligence. When an acquirer, a sponsor bank or a card scheme asks how our program works, you are the person who answers and who prepares what gets us approved. This is frequently what unblocks a market.

• Uruguay as an operating base. Operating from a free zone carries obligations that have nothing to do with AML: the investment project, the periodic filings, the rules about where work happens. That calendar is yours too.

• A law degree, and 5+ years in compliance at a PSP, acquirer, e-money issuer or bank, with at least 2 at officer or head level.
• Experience being the designated compliance officer before a regulator, or preparing the person who was. You have been in the room when the questions got hard.
• Comfort doing KYB on foreign entities: structures you cannot verify in a registry you know, ownership that takes real work to establish.
• Policy you have written yourself that held up under an audit or a regulator's review, not only frameworks you applied.
• Exposure to more than one country's AML regime. You do not need all six. You do need to have translated a group standard into what a specific regulator would accept.
• A bias toward automation. You have taken a control that depended on someone remembering to do it and turned it into something systematic, working alongside engineering and data.
• AI tools as part of how you work. Everyone at Rebill uses them daily, to reason through edge cases, document decisions and move faster.
• Professional English. Our merchants, banks and partners are international, and you will represent Rebill in front of them.
• Judgment you can defend in writing. We care less about volume reviewed than about how you reasoned through the calls that were not obvious.
• Based in Uruguay or ready to relocate, and able to work from our Zonamerica office.

• Cross-border collection models, merchant of record structures, or international collection agent setups.
• Exposure to the US regime: BSA/AML, money transmission, or working with sponsor banks and program managers.
• Experience coordinating designated compliance officers in other countries, or having been the local designated officer reporting into a regional program. Either side of that relationship counts.
• Experience building a compliance team, or being the first senior hire a function was built around.
• Working knowledge of the Uruguayan free zone regime, including the parts that are not AML.
• Portuguese. Brazil is our most demanding market right now.
• SQL, or enough comfort with data to write your own monitoring queries instead of waiting on someone else.
• CAMS, the Udelar or Asociación Uruguaya de Compliance certification, or equivalent. If you do not have one, we pay for it.

• A senior compensation package in UYU, benchmarked to what the seat requires.
• Stock options. This is a company being built to be worth something, and we want you holding a piece of it.
• Direct access to the founders. You will be in the room where the calls get made.
• Certifications and training fully sponsored, including CAMS or the local PLAFT certification.
• Fully equipped office in Zonamerica, with travel to our Buenos Aires HQ for onboarding and team alignment.
• Paid time off per Uruguayan law, with flexibility on top of it.

An intro conversation, a working session on a real case from our own merchant portfolio, and a conversation with the founders. We will tell you what we are actually dealing with, including the parts that are still open. We expect the same candour back.
