What You'll Be Doing:

  • Maintain and evolve our Enterprise-Wide Risk Assessment (EWRA) and Policy suite, ensuring they remain dynamic and aligned with EBA guidelines and local regulations.
  • Design and conduct thematic reviews of 1st Line processes (Onboarding, Transaction Monitoring, CDD) to test control effectiveness and identify gaps before they become risks.
  • Act as the primary escalation point for complex cases and provide "check and challenge" on new product launches to ensure we balance commercial goals with regulatory obligations.

What You Bring:

  • A minimum of 6 years in Financial Crime Compliance, with at least 3 years specifically within a 2nd Line of Defense role where you held an oversight capacity.
  • A solid understanding of EMI business models, automated transaction monitoring logic, and API-led onboarding flows.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate with 1st Line, Product and Ops teams, comfortably delivering constructive challenges to stakeholders when risks exceed our appetite.

How you’ll develop in this role:

  • Lead the gap analysis and implementation of the upcoming EU AML Package to drive impact in our cross-border compliance strategy.
  • Collaborate with Product and Engineering teams to provide critical oversight and advisory on transaction monitoring thresholds, ensuring our controls remain effective without stifling growth.
  • Grow your skills in Strategic Financial Crime Risk Management, moving beyond day-to-day compliance to become a key advisor on long-term regulatory resilience and framework maturity.
