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

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
