Want to help everyday Americans build wealth? Financial inequality is increasing and too many people are getting left behind. At Stash, we believe in the power of simplifying investing, making it easy and affordable for everyday Americans to build wealth and achieve their financial goals.

We’re one of the fastest growing fintechs in the U.S. and have had another record-breaking year. In 2021 we almost doubled our headcount and valuation. Our personal finance app makes investing easy and affordable; this year 6 million customers set aside more than $3 billion with Stash.

Prioritizing People is one of our core values and has been key to a healthy work-life balance and a great sense of fulfillment and inclusion. We employ a true people first - hybrid model. Live and work where you feel the most productive, whether that is in our home, in an office, or a combination of both. Anywhere in the US or UK.  

Let’s solve complex problems and tackle wealth inequality.

We are seeking a Compliance Policy and Program Manager with a strong working knowledge of federal and state investment management and retail broker dealer laws and regulations, to develop a Stash-wide compliance program and collaborating across functional teams within Compliance, as well as Legal, Risk, Operations, Product, Engineering, and key business partners.
