  • Own the merchant/customer onboarding risk framework (KYC/KYB, CDD/EDD, UBO, sanctions/PEP screening); set risk-based onboarding criteria and re-KYC/re-rating triggers, and adjudicate high-risk cases.

  • Develop internal risk policies; define and monitor risk appetite, KRIs, and thresholds; and produce risk dashboards and reports for senior management, the MLRO/Principal Officer, and the Board.

  • Lead, mentor, and build the risk team into a high-performing second line, and drive risk and compliance training and awareness across the organisation.

  • Manage operational, fraud, and third-party/banking-partner risk, including correspondent/nostro due diligence, and drive remediation of control gaps to closure.

  • Partner with Compliance, Legal, and FinCrime on AML/CFT risk and STR/CBWTR reporting to FIU-IND; support audits (ISO 37301/27001) and regulatory examinations; and stay current on IFSCA, RBI, PMLA, and FATF guidance.

REQUIREMENTS

  • 8 to 12 years in enterprise / operational / financial crime risk within fintech, payments, banks, or NBFCs, including team leadership.

  • Strong grasp of AML and cross-border payment typologies (layering, structuring), KYC/CDD/EDD, sanctions and PEP screening, and the PMLA landscape.

  • Hands-on with transaction monitoring and case management systems (rule design, threshold calibration, alert-to-STR/CBWTR workflows); able to build risk frameworks and registers from first principles.

  • CAMS certification desired.

SKILLS

  • Strong analytical, data-analysis, communication, and project-management skills, with the ability to present complex risk clearly to senior stakeholders and the Board.
