About the RoleAs Messaging Compliance Manager specialized in International, WhatsApp & RCS at Sent, you'll own the compliance work that keeps customers sending across borders, on WhatsApp, and on RCS.
In this role, you will...- Own WhatsApp compliance end to end: template creation, categorization (marketing, utility, authentication), and review; troubleshooting template rejections and quality-rating issues; display name and sender approvals; and navigating Meta processes so customers can launch and scale.
- Own RCS agent compliance end to end: agent setup and brand verification, carrier and regional launch approvals, use-case categorization, and content and consent policy review - navigating Google RBM and carrier processes so customers can launch verified agents and keep them in good standing.
- Own international sender registration and country-by-country requirements, including sender ID registration, required documentation (country-specific forms, stamps, attestations), number type selection, and pre-registration where carriers or regulators require it.
- Be the go-to expert on international messaging rules by region, advising customers and internal teams on exactly what's needed to send compliantly in a given country.
- Partner with our US compliance lead to provide tag-team coverage across US and international, cross-training so each region has a backup.
- Work directly with vendors, carriers, and aggregators on registration requirements, escalations, and policy changes that affect deliverability.
- Support customers, sales, and the support team on international, WhatsApp, and RCS compliance questions, turning dense carrier and regulatory rules into clear, practical guidance.
- Maintain internal documentation and playbooks so international, WhatsApp, and RCS compliance stays repeatable as we scale.
- Track registrations, template approvals and declines, RCS agent launches, and compliance issues, and surface trends to leadership.
You'll be a great fit if you...- Have hands-on experience in messaging, CPaaS, or telecom compliance, with direct ownership of international, WhatsApp, or RCS programs - not adjacent exposure, and not a small slice of a broader ops job. Industry experience is required; we need someone who can ramp in weeks, not quarters.
- Know the WhatsApp Business Platform from the inside: template categories, the review and approval process, quality ratings, and the common reasons templates get declined - because you've worked through them, not just read the docs.
- Have taken RCS agents through launch: agent setup and brand verification, carrier and regional approvals, use-case categorization, and RBM content and consent policies. You know where launches stall and how to get a stuck agent moving.
- Understand international A2P messaging: sender ID registration, country-specific documentation and pre-registration, number types, and regional carrier and regulatory rules.
- Are comfortable working directly with carriers, aggregators, and platform partners on registrations and escalations.
- Communicate clearly and turn complex requirements into plain-language guidance for customers and internal teams.
- Are organized and detail-oriented, able to manage dozens of concurrent registrations, reviews, and agent launches without dropping threads.
A note on fit: this is a practitioner role. If your compliance background is mostly advisory or policy-level, or if WhatsApp and RCS would be channels you're learning on the job, this probably isn't the right match - and that's okay. If you've shepherded a sender ID through a difficult market, won a template appeal with Meta, and taken an RCS agent live across carriers, you'll recognize this work immediately, and we'd love to talk.Nice to have- Prior experience at a CPaaS (Twilio, Sinch, Telnyx, Vonage, Bandwidth, or similar) or a messaging platform (Meta - WhatsApp, Google RBM).
- Familiarity with WhatsApp BSP onboarding and Meta Business Manager.
- Experience standing up or scaling international compliance processes from scratch.
- Familiarity with US 10DLC and TCR - useful for tag-teaming with the US lead, though US depth is not the core of this role.
