About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Compliance Manager, Legal Securities to help build Nscale's securities and ethics compliance capability from the ground up as the company scales. Reporting to the VP, Compliance & Ethics, US, you will be our hands-on specialist for securities compliance, MNPI governance, conflicts of interest, personal-account dealing, and related controls. This is a builder's role: you'll write the first versions of our MNPI, insider trading, and preclearance policies, stand up the processes behind them, and run them day to day, partnering closely with Legal, Finance, Tax, Rewards, Equity Administration, and Company Secretariat.

You'll operate independently on the technical work and escalate policy calls, novel issues, and higher-risk matters to the VP and SVP of Compliance and Ethics. There's no established playbook here yet — you'll be writing it. As the program matures and you prove out the foundation, there's real room to grow scope and take on more. Certain adjacent activities are owned elsewhere, and this role supports rather than owns them.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and operate Nscale's securities and dealing compliance framework: policies, MNPI and conflicts controls, restricted-information controls, and personal-account dealing controls
• Draft, launch, and continuously improve the clearance, approval, and reporting processes used by employees, executives, and the business, escalating novel or higher-risk matters as needed
• Run intake, assessment, approvals, logging, follow-up, and record retention for the program's clearance and control processes
• Build and maintain restricted-information and conflicts registers, including access controls and supporting documentation
• Maintain complete and accurate records, logs, approvals, and control evidence in line with governance, audit, and regulatory requirements
• Design and run attestations, communications, and periodic certifications for relevant populations
• Develop and deliver training for relevant populations and control owners
• Support issue identification, escalation, and remediation for securities and dealing control matters
• Track and report on program activity, exceptions, and key control indicators
• Support responses to regulatory, audit, and internal review requests, ensuring documentation is complete and accessible
• Help build a controls culture, championing disciplined execution and attention to detail as the program grows

About You

• At least five years of in-house compliance experience focused on securities and dealing compliance, ideally gained at one or more startups or high-growth technology companies (pre- and/or post-IPO)
• Direct, hands-on experience building compliance policies and processes from scratch — you've written the first draft of a policy or stood up a new control, not just maintained one someone else designed
• Comfortable operating without a lot of structure or precedent, and energized by the prospect of creating the playbook rather than inheriting one
• Working knowledge of MNPI and conflicts controls, clearance and approval processes, restricted-information controls, and personal-account dealing
• Strong organizational and process skills, with the judgment to know when to move fast and when to escalate
• Ability to handle sensitive and confidential information with discretion, and to work cross-functionally with Legal, Finance, Tax, HR/Reward, Equity Administration, and Company Secretariat
• Bonus: exposure to relevant securities / market-abuse regimes, or experience at a hyperscaler or AI lab
