The Director of Compliance will design and implement the company's internal compliance infrastructure, including systems of record, signing-authority policies, and escalation matrices. They will also manage regulatory filings, oversee contract execution, and serve as the primary point of contact for outside counsel.
Candidates must have 6+ years of experience in compliance, specifically with a track record of building or architecting compliance functions. Strong expertise in contract review, regulatory guidance translation, and the ability to operate autonomously in a fast-paced environment is required.

Energy CX is redefining the energy brokerage industry as the fastest-growing player in the US. By bringing cutting-edge technology, advanced analytics, and innovative solutions, we are disrupting a space that has operated in the dark for too long.
Compensation
Energy CX is hiring a Director of Compliance to build out the company's compliance function. This role sits on the Strategy & Operations team — a high-visibility, high-output group that manages company-wide reporting, projects, and processes. It's not a role that executes an existing playbook — it's a senior, high-visibility hire who will design and stand up the systems, policy, and infrastructure Energy CX needs as a multi-state regulated business, hold signing authority on behalf of the company, and partner with outside General Counsel as a peer on regulatory substance.
We're seeking a detail-oriented, self-directed professional who has personally built or been a key architect of a compliance function before — ideally at a startup or on a small team — and thrives operating with real autonomy: deciding what the function needs, exercising independent judgment on when to act versus escalate to counsel, and holding signing authority to bind the company on contracts within counsel-set parameters. About a third of the role is hands-on contract execution (NDAs, MSAs, RFPs, vendor agreements); the majority is building the internal system of record, signing-authority policy, escalation matrix, training programs, and compliance infrastructure that doesn't exist at Energy CX today. If you excel at organization, contract governance, operating with autonomy, and enjoy designing and building systems from scratch, this is the role for you.

Energy CX Company Culture
Our culture is not for everyone. It is designed for people who want to grow fast, take ownership and raise the bar every day.
At Energy CX, we don’t just work—we challenge each other to solve hard problems, innovate boldly and keep improving. We believe in personal growth, extreme accountability and building a team of exceptional people who push one another to be better.
We live by The Four Forces of Innovation — the levers that power innovation at scale:
Higher Standards - Raise the Bar
Excellence isn’t reserved for launches or headlines. It’s how we communicate, plan, and follow through.
We value ownership, prioritization, focus, discipline, effective communication, action, efficiency, resourcefulness and maximizing value.
Innovate It - Think Differently
Innovation isn’t about flashy ideas, it’s about taking on new challenges and outgrowing what no longer serves. At Energy CX, we are experimenting constantly and building what the customer actually needs—especially when it breaks what came before.
We value curiosity, experimentation, collaboration, bold thinking, long-term vision, customer centricity and simplicity.
Continuous Growth - Better Every Day
Growth is not perfection – it's our commitment to get better every single day. No matter how successful we become, we stay open, driven and aware that mastery is a process. We improve with feedback and through failures.
We value grit, transparency, resilience, fulfillment, constant learning, and being one team.
Do Good - Leave It Better
Doing good is about serving others and creating lasting impact. The good we do doesn't usually return to us directly – and that's the point. We believe that every system we strengthen, every teammate we invest in and every customer we guide creates an impact we may never see. But we do it anyway because our work extends far beyond today.
We value humility, community, kindness and leaving every person and project better than we found them.
Our culture rewards personal growth and performance. If you want comfort, predictability or an easy path, this isn’t the place for you. If you want to push boundaries, grow faster than you thought possible and help reinvent how the world buys energy, you’ll thrive here.
We are seeking exceptional individuals to join us.
