• Support and guide cross-functional teams (e.g. product, sales, carrier relations) by providing practical regulatory input to help shape market entry strategies and ensure operational compliance
• Manage regulatory applications, licenses, reporting obligations and related processes, often coordinating with local counsel or consultants
• Identify regulatory risks and propose mitigation strategies in close collaboration with internal stakeholders
• Contribute to commercial and supplier agreements, particularly those relating to compliance, regulatory undertakings and numbering
• Develop internal policies, templates and playbooks to scale compliance practices across jurisdictions
• Support the business in expanding to new territories beyond LATAM as required
