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
