What will you be doing?

The Compliance Lead is the operational owner of legal and regulatory compliance across the entire organization. This is not a passive advisory role. The Compliance Lead is expected to build infrastructure, enforce standards, manage external counsel relationships, and serve as the front line of risk management for every department that touches customers, marketing, or revenue.

WHY THIS ROLE EXISTS

Decentralized Masters operates at the intersection of three of the FTC’s highest-priority enforcement categories: financial education income claims, digital marketing testimonials, and affiliate-driven advertising. The following regulatory realities make a dedicated Compliance Lead essential:

• FTC Enforcement Pattern: Cases like Raging Bull, Wealth Press, and FTC v. Lurn demonstrate the FTC’s willingness to pursue financial education companies that make unsubstantiated income or earnings claims — even when framed as “education.” DM’s revenue scale and marketing volume make it visible.
• Publisher’s Exemption Risk: The Investment Advisers Act of 1940 provides a publisher’s exemption for bona fide educational publications. The trading bot, 1:1 mentorship, and small-group coaching sessions all create pathways to personalized advice that can void this exemption.
• Affiliate Liability: The FTC holds advertisers vicariously liable for affiliate claims, even without explicit authorization. DM’s affiliates currently operate with limited oversight, creating direct liability exposure.
• TCPA / SMS Compliance: DM’s SMS marketing program is subject to the TCPA and 2024 FCC updates requiring per-call/per-text consent and strict revocation handling. Texas has additional state-level requirements.
• No Formal Compliance Infrastructure: DM currently has no formal review process, no testimonial substantiation system, no affiliate content monitoring protocol, and no standardized disclaimer library — all of which are expected by regulators and are buildable.

DETAILED RESPONSIBILITIES BY AREA

Marketing & Advertising Compliance

• Establish and operate a formal pre-launch review process for all external marketing assets: Facebook/Google/YouTube ads, VSLs, landing pages, webinar slides, email sequences, and affiliate-distributed copy.
• Build and maintain a versioned asset library with compliance notes, approval status, and review history for every piece of marketing collateral.
• Develop and enforce a testimonial and income claims system that documents: (a) the specific result claimed, (b) whether it is typical, (c) what the typical result is, and (d) the disclosure language used. This is required under the FTC’s 2023 Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255).
• Review and approve all lifestyle and aspirational imagery for implied income claims, per the FTC’s enforcement posture on implied earnings representations.
• Maintain a pre-approved disclaimer and disclosure library fo
