Head of Compliance

As the Head of Compliance for Vinted Pay, UAB in Lithuania (Vilnius, Hybrid), you’ll be accountable for the entity’s compliance framework under the Bank of Lithuania supervision. You’ll set a medium‑term roadmap (24+ months), own the Compliance Monitoring Plan (CMP), and lead our regulatory relationship with the Bank of Lithuania. You’ll partner closely with the MLRO on FIU (FNTT) matters, while you focus on product governance at marketplace scale, consumer protection, outsourcing and complaints oversight, regulatory change (PSD2/PSD3, EU AMLD/AMLA, DORA), and board‑level governance.
