  • Support and advise in connection with regulatory inquiries, external and internal audits, and interactions with US and other relevant supervisors; 
  • Represent the wider AML Compliance Team on a variety of workstreams to establish governance strategies that align with global objectives and ensure controlled and compliant growth; and,  
  • Consider opportunities and risks from a variety of angles to achieve compliant solutions that align with commercial and strategic objectives.

Who you are

  • You have 5+ years of relevant experience in a compliance and/or regulatory function within the financial services or payments industry, and/or at a US regulatory agency; 
  • You possess strong knowledge of US FEC laws and regulations, including OFAC sanctions, AML/CFT, and related enforcement frameworks, with the ability to place these in an international context;

  • You have strong interpersonal and communication skills. Specifically, you are able to liaise and connect with a wide variety of internal and external stakeholders, and you can draft a wide range of documents with precision, sensitivity to audience, and a focus on clear messaging; 
  • You have an affinity for technical details related to FEC compliance, including sanctions screening, geofencing, transaction monitoring controls, and data-driven approaches to risk management; 
  • You have a strong sense of initiative, independence, and ownership, while also being a people person who enjoys collaborating across levels of seniority, cultures, and backgrounds; and,
