About Alinea

Alinea is on a mission to empower the next generation to pursue their life's biggest dreams by democratizing financial intelligence. What started as a class project is now an investing platform with over 3 million downloads.

We're growing quickly, and the way we communicate with our users is a critical part of that growth. We're looking for a Compliance Associate to help ensure the SEC Registered Investment Adviser is poised to take on the current regulatory environment and be built to stand up to future regulations.

About the Role

As Alinea's Compliance Associate, you'll sit at the intersection of compliance, marketing, growth, and product.

You'll be responsible for the day-to-day compliance review of Alinea's compliance program which includes drafting policies and procedures, educating employees on compliance topics, being a contact for employee compliance questions, reviewing email, marketing reviews and other duties as assigned.

This is a hands-on role for someone in their compliance career who wants to learn quickly and take meaningful ownership. You'll work closely with our Chief Compliance Officer and partner directly with Alinea's Growth, Marketing, Product, and Design teams.

The right person doesn't just identify compliance issues. You'll help teams understand the rules, find practical solutions, and build systems that allow Alinea to move quickly while communicating responsibly with millions of users.

What You'll Do

Build Scalable Compliance Processes

• Manage the day-to-day marketing compliance review queue and help teams get timely answers
• Maintain organized records of reviewed and approved marketing materials
• Develop checklists, templates, disclosures, and internal guidance for recurring campaigns
• Help identify recurring compliance issues and turn them into clear rules or reusable processes
• Track approvals, revisions, and supporting documentation
• Support testing and monitoring of marketing compliance controls
• Help improve compliance workflows and tooling as Alinea scales

Partner With Growth & Product

• Work directly with Marketing, Growth, Product, and Design teams on new campaigns and user experiences
• Join projects early so compliance considerations are incorporated before launch rather than added at the end
• Review onboarding flows, educational content, promotions, and other customer-facing experiences
• Help teams distinguish between financial education, marketing, and regulated investment advice
• Develop a strong understanding of Alinea's products so you can provide practical, context-aware guidance

Broader Compliance Support

• Assist the Chief Compliance Officer with periodic compliance testing, monitoring, and documentation
• Support regulatory examinations and information requests when needed
• Help maintain policies and procedures related to advertising and communications
• Assist with compliance training for Marketing, Growth, and other teams
• Take on additional compliance projects as the company and regulatory program evolve

What We're Looking For

Must-haves

• 5 - 10 years of experience in compliance, legal, risk, or a related function within financial services
• Familiarity with financial services advertising, marketing, or communications compliance
• Strong attention to detail and an ability to spot potentially misleading or unsupported claims
• Excellent written communication skills
• Strong judgment and willingness to ask questions when something doesn't look right
• Ability to manage a high volume of reviews while staying organized and responsive
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment where priorities can change quickly
• Collaborative mindset — you want to help teams find a compliant path forward, not simply tell them "no"
• Genuine interest in investing, fintech, consumer financial products, or financial regulation

Nice-to-haves

• Experience at an SEC-registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, robo-advisor, fintech, or other consumer financial services company
• Expert with the SEC Marketing Rule (Rule 206(4)-1)
• Experience with SEC Rule 206(4)-7
• Familiarity with digital investment advice or robo-advisory products
• Experience using marketing compliance or approval workflow tools
• FINRA licenses or compliance certifications are a plus, but not required

What Success Looks Like

Within your first few months, you'll become a trusted day-to-day partner to our Growth and Marketing teams and develop a strong understanding of Alinea's products, voice, and regulatory obligations.

Over time, you'll take increasing ownership of the marketing compliance review process — helping us move from reviewing every piece of content from scratch toward scalable guidelines, templates, and systems that allow teams to operate confidently and independently.

You'll know you're succeeding when the business can move faster because compliance is involved.

Why Alinea

• Work at the intersection of fintech, investing, social media, and consumer technology
• Get meaningful responsibility early in your career and learn directly from senior compliance leadership
• Partner closely with Marketing, Growth, Product, and Design rather than operating in a silo
• Help build a compliance function and its processes from the ground up
• Comprehensive benefits package
• 401(k) retirement savings program
• Meaningful equity
• A product and mission focused on making investing more accessible to the next generation
