Cleo. Where AI meets money. Cleo launched in 2016 by people who have been burned by banks. Fed up with the broken system, we decided it was time to make a change. Since then, the cost of living has skyrocketed, the rich have continued getting richer, and our vision has only become clearer. Our mission? To change the world's relationship with money. Cleo is a platform for the 99% – an AI assistant defining a new category, one that goes beyond saving and budgets to actually changing how we feel about our finances. Using simplicity and humor, she’s helped millions of people improve their relationship with money, because we believe that everyone has the potential to achieve financial well-being in just one generation. Through a personalized chat, she provides you with deep insight about your money and tailored financial tools that increase your ability to save, all while making you laugh. We’re a product for the next generation. That means that we are committed to inclusive and unbiased financial growth for all. It also means dropping the BS. In the past year or so we’ve grown the Cleo team from 100 to 250+, and closed a $80m Series C led by Sofina (that’s a $500M valuation). Want to get involved? You know that awful feeling when you wake up wondering if what you’re about to do for the next 8 hours actually matters? That doesn’t happen here much. Everything we do is grounded in purpose. And because we’re all showing up for the same reason, collaboration comes easy. We have a culture of stepping up. We want, and expect you to grow and develop. You’ll have our support in everything you do. But more importantly, you’ll have our trust. We treat our people as humans first, employees second, which means giving everyone a voice. All perspectives are embraced here.

About The Role We’re hiring Cleo’s first dedicated Senior Product Analyst for Legal, Compliance & Policy. This is a high-impact role focused on surfacing and scaling the insights that support Cleo’s regulatory strategy, compliance operations, and policy development.
You’ll bring together product, user, payments, and behavioural data to help Cleo understand how our experiences interact with regulatory expectations. Your work will support audits, licensing requirements, policy initiatives, and compliance-driven product improvements. Embedded within Legal, Compliance & Policy, you’ll partner closely with Product, Engineering, and the wider Data chapter to translate complex questions into clear, actionable insight.
As the first analyst dedicated to this area, you’ll be standing up Cleo’s compliance insights function. If you’re energised by ambiguous analytical questions, evolving regulatory contexts, cross-functional problem solving, and using data to strengthen how Cleo builds transparent, responsible products, this role is for you.
What you'll be doing
Cross-Functional Partnership & Compliance Insight Work closely with Product, Engineering, and other cross-functional teams to support legal- and compliance-driven product initiatives — contributing analytical insight from early discovery through to implementation.
Compliance & Policy Intelligence Infrastructure Build dashboards and reporting layers that bring consistency and transparency to how Cleo tracks key compliance and policy indicators. In addition, build alerting & monitoring for product-health KPIs (freshness, anomalies, incident spikes, definition drift) with runbooks and ownership, ensuring issues are surfaced early and managed effectively.
Product Journey Analysis Analyse user journeys and product interactions to understand their implications for regulatory and policy requirements. Lead root-cause investigations on compliance issues; ship fixes (definitions/tests/controls) not just analyses.
Regulatory Response & Discovery Triage, scope, and deliver time-sensitive regulator requests with audit-ready outputs and documented assumptions.
Regulatory Licensing Insights Use product and user data to support EWA state licensing, compliance reviews, and other regulatory processes where accurate, well-structured insight is required.
Data Governance & Definitions Own definitions & governance for metrics that underpin Cleo’s regulatory and compliance reporting — ensuring a single source of truth across the business.

Other Benefits
We strongly encourage applications from people of colour, the LGBTQ+ community, people with disabilities, neurodivergent people, parents, carers, and people from lower socio-economic backgrounds. If there’s anything we can do to accommodate your specific situation, please let us know. UK app access
The Cleo app is no longer downloadable in the UK (but only until next year). If you’re an existing user, you’ll still have access to the app. But some features won’t be available (just for a little while). Why? 99% of our users are based in the US – where financial health is often overlooked. We’ve decided to shift our focus to where we can provide the most value and make the greatest impact for users who need it most. Then we’ll be able to apply what we learn to better support our UK users in the future.
