The Impact You’ll Be Contributing to Moloco:

Moloco is looking for an exceptional leader to build and lead our Business Integrity function from the ground up. You will own the strategic, operational and enforcement layer that protects our platform from fraud, abuse, and policy violations. This is a unique opportunity to shape the trust & safety infrastructure for an AI-native performance advertising platform serving millions of advertisers and publishers globally.

This is not a reactive role. You will drive proactive detection, prevention, and enforcement of policies and processes to protect Moloco’s platform and its users while navigating a complex regulatory landscape. You will build a world-class team, establish policies from first principles, and create the systems and processes that define how Moloco maintains platform integrity at scale.

As the first hire and architect of this function, you will be focused on:

Conducting a comprehensive risk assessment and building a risk registry

Mapping existing policies, workflows, enforcement gaps, and ownership

Making critical tooling and detection strategy decisions

Setting the foundation for the function’s operating model: Policy & Compliance, and Detection, Ops & Intelligence

Partnering cross-functionally with Engineering, Product, Legal, Enterprise Compliance, Security, GTM, and Finance to understand pain points and align on approach

This role reports to the Chief Legal Officer and is based near our Menlo Park, CA office and follows a hybrid in-office schedule.

The Opportunity

This is a chance to build a world-class function that directly protects a global platform. You will define strategy, hire your team, and own outcomes. In this role, you will have a role operating at the center of business decisions, influencing how Moloco scales responsibly across new markets and products.

As the leader of the Business Integrity function, you will be responsible for:

Platform Integrity & Detection

Behavioral pattern analysis and bad actor identification—detecting fraud rings, account takeovers, and re-entry attempts

Proactive detection systems that identify policy violations (creative safety, KYC, brand safety) before damage occurs

Creating and monitoring dashboards and analytics to track violation rates, churn, enforcement actions, and emerging abuse patterns

Signal intelligence and re-entry prevention

Enforcement & Operations

Review queues and investigation and enforcement workflows—defined, streamlined, and scalable

Account suspension, termination, and partner enforcement decisions with clear appeals and remediation processes

Standing monitoring cadences, escalation paths, and shared tooling

Policy & Regulatory

Policy drafting and enforcement rules—partnering with Legal to translate regulatory requirements (DSA, OFAC, FTC, FDA) and risk assessments into actionable business integrity controls

Specific third-party controls and compliance monitoring (real money gambling licensing, KYC, creative policy)

Compliance-by-design architecture across advertiser onboarding, offboarding, and account lifecycle

Policy ownership and external communications

Leadership & Culture

Building and developing a high-performing team, setting clear priorities, coaching team members, and fostering a strong, collaborative culture

Acting as a trusted partner to senior business leaders, providing pragmatic guidance on complex platform integrity matters

Shaping a culture of engagement and ownership around Business Integrity across the organization

How Do I Know if the Role is Right For Me?

Beyond the skills and experience listed below, we are looking for someone who:

Enjoys building. You'll design a modern, enterprise-grade function largely from the ground up without dismantling legacy processes - this is a greenfield opportunity

Operates at the center of the business. You'll work directly with Product, Engineering, Legal, Security, and business leaders, influencing real decisions that shape platform strategy

Thrives in ambiguous, high-growth environments. Moloco's pace and evolving regulatory landscape mean this role is never static—you'll solve new problems, not manage checklists

Is a trusted advisor. You combine commercial judgment with sound reasoning, and are comfortable pushing back constructively and exercising independent judgment

Drives cultural change. You'll help establish a culture where Business Integrity is viewed as a strategic enabler of growth and trust, not a blocker

Navigates ambiguity and complexity well. You exhibit high EQ, resilience, and integrity—with a track record of handling sensitive issues discreetly while maintaining sound ethical standards

Collaborates across boundaries. You thrive in fast-moving environments, building trusted relationships across teams and functions, and are comfortable influencing without direct authority

Required Experience

15+ years in Trust & Safety, Fraud Prevention, Compliance Ops, Law Enforcement, or equivalent discipline

Proven track record building and scaling trust & safety or fraud prevention operations—hiring, mentoring, and retaining high-performing teams

Deep understanding of bad actor tactics, evasion techniques, and how to identify and prevent abuse patterns

Experience designing policies, proactive detection systems, workflows, monitoring cadence, and enforcement processes at scale

Familiarity with regulatory environments (DSA, OFAC, FTC) and compliance-by-design frameworks

Product or technical background and credibility with engineering and product teams—you can translate business problems into technical solutions and make informed tooling decisions

Ability to lead through legal and regulatory ambiguity, exercising sound judgment on complex issues

Highly Valued

Experience in AdTech, performance marketing, or platforms with two-sided networks (advertisers + publishers)

Experience with AI/ML-driven processes, including detection and automation

Deep experience partnering with Product, Engineering, and Security teams in fast-moving environments

Experience leading through regulatory inquiries, audits, or enforcement actions

Data-driven mindset with strong analytical, communication, and project-management skills

Proactive and detail-oriented mindset with a track record of managing global initiatives and driving cultural change
