MLRO & Compliance Officer

Preference for Russian Speaking Candidates

This is a new opportunity with a growing international payments business looking to strengthen its UK Financial Crime & Compliance function.

This is a hands-on role for someone who wants more than BAU compliance. You’ll have the opportunity to take ownership across AML, financial crime, regulatory change, investigations and FCA-facing activity, while working closely with senior stakeholders across the business.

The role will cover:

• AML/CTF investigations and complex financial crime cases
• SARs, NCA reporting and regulatory submissions
• CDD/EDD, transaction monitoring and financial crime risk assessments
• Developing and improving AML policies, procedures and controls
• FCA engagement and regulatory change projects
• Board and MLRO reporting
• Financial crime governance, testing and training
• Supporting the wider compliance strategy as the business scales

Particularly sort after experience:

• Experience within an EMI, PSP, bank or fintech
• Strong knowledge of the UK AML and FCA regulatory environment
• Hands-on experience across investigations, SARs, CDD/EDD and TM
• Previous Deputy MLRO / MLRO exposure would be highly advantageous
• Experience with payments, acquiring, cross-border transactions or crypto is a plus

This is a senior-level role with potential growth into a Head position.

All conversations will be treated confidentially.
