Regulatory Data Associate (Legal Engineer)

Responsiv Overview

Responsiv is building the leading regulatory operating system for compliance, legal, and risk teams. Too many compliance leaders are still stuck stitching together fragmented alerts, manual spreadsheets, inconsistent sources, and disconnected pieces of advice, just to figure out what a regulation requires them to do. Responsiv solves this end-to-end, giving teams the ability to:

• Build and manage their regulatory universe: Create and maintain registers of the complex laws, rules, and regulations that apply to their business, across every jurisdiction and regulator they answer to.
• Cut through the noise: Filter and route relevant regulatory alerts to the right owners, so teams focus only on the changes that actually matter.
• Turn legal text into action: Translate dense regulatory language into clear, actionable obligations and requirements.
• Find gaps before regulators do: Map new requirements against existing policies, procedures, and controls to surface gaps and recommend the changes needed to close them.
• Move from finding to fix: Automatically draft policy and control updates, and track remediation through a defensible audit trail.
• Get back to the business faster: Understand the regulatory context behind situations existing policies don't cover, so the business can keep moving.

We are entering the market at a genuine inflection point. Nearly half of compliance organizations still use no dedicated regulatory intelligence technology today, and this category now has the highest purchase intent of any compliance technology segment - yet buyers are rightly skeptical of vendors making big AI promises without proof. That's exactly why we built Responsiv - a market-leading platform designed to deliver high-impact, defensible results. There's a clear opportunity to become the trusted partner compliance teams need.
