About KOHO

We’re on a mission to make financial services better for every Canadian. That means no hidden fees, no predatory interest rates - just financial products designed to help our users spend smart, save more, and build real wealth. We’re a performance organization with a strong heart: we care deeply about outcomes, and everything ties back to our mission - to financially empower a generation of Canadians.

At KOHO, we’re not your average 9-5. We believe real impact comes from people who are trusted, empowered, and supported to do their best work - without sacrificing their lives to do it. We prioritize work-life integration, not just work-life balance. That means asynchronous collaboration, flexible hours, and a remote-first setup built around autonomy and high trust.

KOHO is entering its next chapter - leaner, smarter, more AI-integrated. We’re building for impact, not bureaucracy. If you thrive in environments that value clarity, ownership, and bold thinking, you’ll fit right in.

About The Role

We’re looking for a seasoned Director - Privacy Office (Deputy Chief Privacy Officer); Head of Advisory and RCM to lead the advisory heart of KOHO’s Compliance function and to own our Privacy Office end to end. Reporting to the Chief Compliance Officer, you will be the trusted advisor to our business partners, such as product (lending, core banking, growth & onboarding), marketing, and user success, and before they build — translating a dense regulatory landscape into clear and useful guidance. You will also own KOHO’s privacy program, from Privacy Impact Assessments and consent design through to breach response.

 

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who is energized by ambiguity, comfortable being the decision-maker in the room, and motivated by building durable programs rather than inheriting them. If you believe compliance should make good products possible rather than merely permissible, you’ll do your best work here.

À propos du poste

Nous sommes à la recherche d’une personne chevronnée pour diriger les services-conseils — le cœur de la fonction Conformité de KOHO — et prendre en charge l’ensemble de notre Bureau de la protection des renseignements personnels. Relevant de la cheffe ou du chef de la conformité, vous serez la personne-ressource de confiance de nos partenaires d’affaires, notamment les équipes Produits (prêts, services bancaires de base, croissance et intégration), Marketing et Expérience utilisateur. Votre rôle consistera à traduire un environnement réglementaire complexe en conseils clairs et utiles, en amont de la conception de leurs produits et initiatives.

Vous serez également responsable du programme de protection des renseignements personnels de KOHO, de bout en bout : évaluations des facteurs relatifs à la vie privée, conception des mécanismes de consentement, gestion des incidents et intervention en cas d’atteinte à la protection des renseignements personnels.

Il s’agit d’un rôle de leadership très concret, pour une personne qui aime évoluer dans l’ambiguïté, qui est à l’aise de prendre des décisions et qui souhaite bâtir des programmes durables plutôt que de simplement assurer le maintien de programmes existants. Si vous croyez que la conformité doit rendre possibles de bons produits — et pas seulement les rendre permis —, vous pourrez vous épanouir pleinement dans ce rôle.

Ce que vous ferez

Services-conseils en conformité

Gestion de la conformité réglementaire

Leadership d’équipe et rayonnement dans le secteur
