Director, Compliance & Control Oversight - Growth

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 1,800 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 (opening Summer 2026), 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: The Unsecured Consumer Lending team at Upstart Bank operates as the full first line of defense across product, growth, operations, and customer lifecycle for our personal loan, Cash Line, servicing and emerging consumer products. Compliance and controls are built into how we scale — not layered on at the end. This team is accountable for ensuring that everything we put in front of borrowers, partners, and regulators is accurate, fair, and examination-ready. The Director, Compliance & Controls — Growth leads first-line compliance for Upstart’s growth engine: the acquisition channels, marketing programs, p artner relationships, and product launches that bring borrowers to our platform across unsecured lending (personal loans and lines), servicing, and growth (for both unsecured and secured products). This is a senior accountability role at the intersection of lending growth and regulatory discipline — one that shapes how Upstart grows as much as how it controls. How you’ll make an impact
