Leap Theory, LLC is an already profitable, fast growing, ~1 year old advertising technology start-up that serves the consumer lending industry. It was founded by people looking to build a better workplace. Four things drive us: ethics, continuous improvement, gratitude, and teamwork. Yes, we aim for top performance in our industry. But, HOW we get there matters more. We understand your time is important. Who you spend it with is important. What you apply your talents to is important. Thanks for considering applying your time and talents to our company and learning what makes us - we believe - very different from other high performance tech companies. 

We’re currently looking to add a Compliance Manager / Counsel to our legal team. You’d report to our General Counsel who’s worked at a Fortune 50 technology company, a Fortune 100 financial services company, and a global law firm. Our GC is excited about training and growing the hired candidate to become a world-class compliance professional who will manage ever increasing responsibilities.   

You’ll work with other dedicated employees and executives at our ocean view office in Brentwood, located on a walkable, transportation-friendly street on San Vicente Boulevard near great restaurants. There are also many other benefits on top of your salary. We don’t think you’ll be disappointed. 

----- DUTIES -----

Your initial duties will consist of:

• Supplier & Customer Compliance Reviews - you’ll be trained to collaborate with different roles in the company (e.g., marketing, sales, engineering, executives) to analyze whether new and current suppliers and customers meet our company’s compliance standard.

• Research, Continuing Education - you’ll receive ongoing internal training from the GC and keep your knowledge of applicable laws up-to-date through Westlaw research, outside counsel support, and continuing legal education courses. Applicable laws include those enforced by the CFPB, FTC, FCC, state AGs, California DBO, and laws that apply to the marketing of consumer financial products/services. 

• Process Improvement - you’ll work with the GC to continually improve our compliance system, including documenting current system components (e.g., policies, procedures), identifying opportunities for improvement, helping the GC to map out an improvement plan, and executing that plan. 

• Training - you’ll share your growing knowledge of compliance laws by supporting the GC to provide role-based trainings to all employees and executives. 

----- APTITUDES -----

Regardless of your experience (or even if you have no relevant experience), we’re looking for someone who has these natural aptitudes.

• Detailed - you catch typos other people miss. 

• Organized - making lists that look like a college course outline makes you happy. 

• Persistent, especially with communication - you’ll stick to something until you’ve done it right. You always text and email back, even if it’s just to say “got your message.” 

• Similar values - we’re looking for complements, not clones. But we are looking for someone who also highly values ethics, continuous improvement, gratitude, and teamwork. 

----- EXPERIENCE, SKILLS -----

No particular experience is necessary. Preference for a recent law school graduate with strong legal research and writing skills, or an accountant with interest in learning compliance. You’ll be trained to develop all other skills, including contract interpretation and drafting.

----- SALARY, BENEFITS -----

• $70-80K per year

• health care benefits and vacation accrual starting after successful completion of your 90-day probationary period

• Parking, or a one-time bonus of $2K to move within walking distance of our office

• Lunches on Fridays

• Travel to industry conferences (with legal education courses)

• Kitchen stocked with organic breakfast foods and snacks

• Employee morale events
