🏢 About Brighte

Brighte is a unique fintech company that specifically focuses on making energy-efficient home upgrades accessible through 0% interest payment plans for solar and battery installations. Unlike traditional financial services companies, Brighte combines environmental impact with consumer finance, creating a mission-driven workplace focused on sustainability.

The role is impactful because you'll be ensuring that Brighte's innovative 0% interest payment plans for solar installations remain compliant while enabling sustainable home energy solutions to reach more Australian households.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve reviewing and prioritizing compliance operations tasks, providing regulatory interpretation for new product features related to solar financing, conducting control testing for NCCPA compliance, and collaborating with Product and Tech teams to embed compliance requirements into development sprints. You'd likely spend time maintaining licensing compliance documentation and preparing for regulatory engagements while working remotely with cross-functional stakeholders.
