The company is on track to launch several new product offerings in 2026, including a Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) option.
Dave is focused on serving Americans who are financially vulnerable or living paycheck to paycheck. Dave is leading the charge in creating a new era of credit products that prioritizes speed, affordability, and accessibility, making it the go-to financial partner for those who need it most.
Dave is one of the leading U.S. neobanks and a pioneer in financial services, using technology to deliver banking products that are more accessible, transparent, and affordable. Our flagship product, ExtraCash, gives members access to up to $500 in short-term, interest-free advances within minutes of joining. By removing the friction and fees associated with traditional overdraft products, we’re helping millions of people access their money when they need it most.
As we continue expanding our platform across banking, payments, and credit products, we’re building systems and teams that scale responsibly while keeping member trust at the center of everything we do.
We’re hiring a Senior Director, Litigation & Regulatory Enforcement to lead Dave’s litigation and adversarial regulatory response function. This is a highly strategic role reporting to the Chief Legal Officer, with broad ownership across consumer litigation, arbitration, regulatory investigations, enforcement matters, and complex disputes as Dave continues to grow.
You’ll shape how Dave approaches legal risk at scale — building the frameworks, processes, and long-term strategy that support a fast-evolving fintech platform. You’ll work closely with Legal, Compliance, Product, Risk, Operations, and executive leadership to navigate high-impact matters while helping the business make thoughtful, durable decisions.
Not everything is fully defined today, and that’s part of the opportunity. You’ll help build the function, influence how work gets done, and create systems that hold up as the company and regulatory landscape evolve.
This role sits at the intersection of legal strategy, operational scale, and member trust. Your work will help Dave navigate a rapidly evolving regulatory environment while building sustainable systems that support long-term growth and protect the member experience.
You take ownership of outcomes, not just individual matters. You understand how litigation strategy, regulatory decisions, operational processes, and member experience connect across the broader business. You’re thoughtful about trade-offs, able to navigate ambiguity without creating unnecessary complexity, and focused on building systems that scale over time.
You also work collaboratively. You build trust across teams, communicate clearly in high-stakes situations, and approach feedback as a way to sharpen thinking and improve outcomes. You know how to influence across organizational levels while keeping teams aligned around practical, sustainable solutions.
Dave moves quickly, but thoughtfully. Priorities evolve as products grow, regulations shift, and new information emerges. In this role, you’ll have meaningful autonomy and visibility, along with close partnership from experienced leaders across Legal, Compliance, Risk, and Product.
We value clear thinking, sound judgment, and people who improve systems — not just react to problems.
