🧑🏻‍💻 About the role

First things first: you want to know what you’re actually applying for. It’s impossible to capture every nuance of a role – especially at a rapidly growing company like Mews – but if we had to distill it down to a job description (which we do because this is a job description), it would be this:

As our AML Operations Manager, you’ll lead the first line of defense for Mews across customer due diligence, transaction monitoring, screening, regulatory reporting, and operational decisioning. You’ll work with centralized and outsourced delivery teams, ensuring controls consistently meet policy, regulatory, and risk standards. As Mews grows, your remit will expand to a broader managerial scope across products, geographies, and partners.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it: 

  • Lead CDD/KYC/KYB and ongoing monitoring; approve EDD and client acceptance/offboarding.
  • Oversee transaction monitoring and first‑line investigations; approve/escalate UTRs/SARs and ensure audit‑ready records.
  • Own sanctions/PEP/adverse media screening decisions and related authority notifications.
  • Drive policy implementation, playbooks, quality control, and remediation from audits/regulators.
  • Coordinate with Compliance (Second Line), MLRO, Risk, and Mews Group; report metrics to the Management and Supervisory Boards.
  • Govern outsourced providers against contractual/regulatory standards; identify risks and implement corrective actions.

🤝️ You’ll be a great fit if you bring a few of the below with you: 

  • 7+ years in AML operations/CDD/financial crime in EU regulated FS (first line ideal).
  • Strong knowledge of EU AMLD, Dutch AML law, and FATF recommendations.
  • Proven oversight of outsourced teams; familiarity with TM and CDD/KYC systems.
  • Clear, practical communicator; analytical, detail‑oriented, hands‑on.
  • Excellent English; Dutch a plus. ICA/ACAMS/CAMS a strong plus.
🎉 What’s in it for you?

Did you know Mews was named Best PMS of 2025 - for the second year in a row - and twice recognized as a Best Place to Work in Hotel Tech

That success is powered by our incredible people and supported by the benefits that help them thrive.

🌍 Global benefits

No matter where you’re based, you’ll enjoy:

  • Participation in our company share program

  • Best-in-class parental leave (6 months fully paid for primary caregivers, 2 months for secondary, available within your first year)

  • Unlimited paid holiday (yes, really)

  • Work from anywhere - enjoy the flexibility to work from other countries for a few weeks each year through our compliant and flexible Workation policy.

  • Relocation options available after 1 year

  • Monthly "EDGE" time - dedicated to Explore, Develop, Grow, and Elevate yourself
  • Flexible, hybrid working options

  • One-off home office setup budget to make your workspace your own

  • Monthly working-from-home and healthcare allowances (where local healthcare benefits are not in avaliable)

📍 Local benefits

We also tailor benefits to each location - from regional healthcare coverage to team events, socials, and other perks that make Mews life special wherever you are.

Because at Mews, growth, balance, and belonging aren't just words, they're how we work.

🤷🏻 Who is Mews?

We want to get to know you, so it’s only fair we tell you a little bit about ourselves first. Mews has been transforming hospitality since 2012. What began in a single hotel in Prague now powers thousands of hotels around the world, as they pursue their mission to develop transformational solutions for brands and create remarkable experiences for guests. 

Since the beginning, Mews embraced being different. Mews is not simply a property management system, but a connected hospitality cloud with products across the hotel ecosystem and more integrations than anyone else. 

From global hospitality brands to independent properties, hoteliers join Mews because they recognize the power of innovation. They understand that they can benefit from hotel tech that drives efficiency, maximizes revenue, and improves guest happiness.

Powering over 5,000 customers across more than 85 countries, Mews Hospitality Cloud is designed to streamline operations for modern hoteliers, transform the guest experience and create more profitable businesses. 

Ranked 24th in the FT 1000 list of the fastest-growing European companies in 2021, Mews has been recognized as the Best PMS by industry peers at the HotelTechAwards in both 2020 and 2024, consistently earning acclaim. Mews also achieved finalist status in 2021 and 2022. What's more, we take immense pride in being listed among the Best Places to Work in Hotel Tech during those same years and again this year. But our achievements don't stop there; Mews was also listed among the World's Best Hotel PMS Provider 2023 and as the World's Best Independent Hotel PMS Provider 2022 and 2023 by the World Travel Tech Awards.

💭 Life at Mews

That’s what we do, but what about who we are? Mews’ culture is special and difficult to capture in words, which makes writing this tricky. You'll experience the freedom to be yourself and the ability to watch your ideas come to life. You’ll have an open line of communication and an open invitation to after-work drinks, be they virtual or in-person. Sometimes the work can be challenging and there can be a lot of it, but you’ll always be able to rely on those around you.

Yes, we’re ambitious and we move fast, but we know the value of fun and taking a breather. We have slack channels for almost every interest imaginable, and an all-company meeting every Friday gives you the chance to ask any question to our leadership team.

Everyone is welcome at Mews

We’re an equal opportunities employer. To reimagine the art of hospitality, we need teams that represent our global and diverse customers and users. Our differences make Mews, so we welcome people of all backgrounds and identities to work with us. We embrace different perspectives, encourage trying new things and want everyone to feel safe bringing their authentic self to work. If this sounds like you and you’re ready to join a global, innovative and exciting community, we’d love to hear from you.

One very important note: don’t hold back. Even if you don’t meet 100% of the criteria listed in this job description, we still encourage you to apply. We believe everyone should have equal access to opportunities and we’re committed to providing an inclusive experience, so please let us know if there’s anything we can do to support you during the application process. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability, or any other protected characteristic. We can’t wait to hear from you.

🤖 AI and Hiring at Mews

At Mews, we believe AI enhances our work but should not replace what humanises it and makes it individually ours. We see AI as a tool to support research, generate ideas, and drive efficiency, but creativity, critical thinking, and opinions differentiate us. As you apply, feel free to use AI to help structure your thoughts — but ensure your application and conversations with us, reflect your personal opinions, capabilities and experience. We’re building an AI-enabled workforce, and that starts with people who think independently and bring fresh ideas to the table. Because at Mews, making work more human is the ultimate goal.
