Own the compliance direction from day one where your decisions set the standard for how risk is managed.
You know that in high-risk regulated environments, one missed flag doesn’t just cost time – it costs licenses.
You’ll report into the Head of Legal as the first UK hire for a scaling European start up who are generating 8 figures (yes, 8) in year 1 of trading,
Your decisions on risk appetite, transaction monitoring, training strategy and remediation will set the standard.
The compliance framework is yours to design.
You’ll own the full cycle: reviewing high-risk transactions, designing operational risk procedures, training agents and partners on AML/KYC, reporting to the board, and measuring whether it actually reduces risk.
This is high ownership without the politics. No layers. No committees. With a clear progression path to Head of Compliance (or higher)
What we need:
- Regulated industry experience (fintech, payments, banking, financial services)
- Real AML/KYC framework knowledge
- Experience training field teams or operational staff
- Startup mindset—comfort building from scratch
- Bachelor’s in Law, Compliance, Risk Management or equivalent experience
