The Compliance area is responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining the AML/CTF (LAFT) risk management framework of the company. As we build a financial institution from the ground up, this area plays a critical role in ensuring regulatory compliance, protecting the company from financial crime risks, and enabling sustainable and responsible growth aligned with supervisory expectations.
Challenges that await you:

  • Co-building and scaling a data-driven Compliance framework from the ground up in a fast-growing fintech environment.

  • Leading the structuring, organization, and transformation of large volumes of compliance-related data into actionable insights that enable strategic decision-making and continuous optimization.

  • Designing, implementing, and continuously improving data segmentation models, information classification systems, and compliance risk methodologies.

  • Leveraging advanced data analytics, data engineering, and segmentation techniques—using tools such as Python, SQL, R, or similar—to structure complex datasets and strengthen compliance monitoring and decision-making capabilities.

  • Transforming fragmented or unstructured compliance information into clear, reliable, and scalable data systems that support governance, control, and strategic planning.

  • Performing deep data analysis to identify risk patterns, operational inefficiencies, and opportunities for automation and process improvement within Compliance.

  • Balancing strong regulatory compliance requirements with scalable, efficient, and data-driven operational processes.

  • Adapting quickly to evolving regulatory environments and translating regulatory expectations into structured data frameworks, policies, and control systems.

  • Operating effectively in environments with incomplete, dispersed, or rapidly changing data sources, while helping design and formalize scalable data infrastructures.

  • Managing ambiguity while maintaining high standards of data governance, documentation, traceability, and regulatory readiness.

  • Supporting audits, regulatory interactions, Board reporting, and ongoing effectiveness assessments through robust, well-structured, and reliable data systems.

What makes you a great fit:

  • Over 5 years of hands-on experience in AML/CTF across the financial sector and fintech environments.

  • Strong experience with Python, SQL, R, or similar tools is a must-have requirement.

  • Proven ability to thrive in settings where processes are built from scratch, not inherited, and where structure evolves alongside growth.

  • Highly proactive and hands-on, with the autonomy to deliver results effectively in environments with limited supervision.

  • Strong regulatory expertise combined with an analytical, data-driven mindset to support sound risk-based decision-making.

  • Creative, resilient, and deeply motivated to help build and scale a regulated financial institution from the ground up.

  • Energized by fast-paced, high-impact environments and unafraid of hard work or complex challenges.

  • Conversational English is a must-have requirement.
