Head of Compliance & MLRO

Looking for greater working flexibility to suit your lifestyle?

Or perhaps you’re keen to gain international exposure within a fast-growing business where there’s plenty of scope for growth?

This FinTech start-up will revolutionise the post-trading space both here in the UK and across Europe. And it’s envisaged that this position will develop into a Chief Compliance Officer role over time.

You’ll be the firm’s first Compliance hire at a time when they are seeking to complete their FCA application for an investment firm with dealing as their principal permission.

Initially a standalone role, you’ll develop and implement Regulatory Compliance and Financial Crime Compliance frameworks, policies and procedures, managing and overseeing the firm’s compliance programme and ensuring adherence to all relevant legal and regulatory requirements.

You’ll also monitor regulatory changes, assessing their impact on the business and advising senior management on necessary actions. In addition, you’ll serve as the main point of contact for regulatory bodies here in the UK and in Europe.

It is expected that you’ll start to build your team after about 9 months, being responsible for their recruitment, management and development.

You’ll be an experienced Compliance leader who has operated at a similar level previously and will have a particularly strong understanding of AML and CTF regulations and best practices. You’ll also have a proven track record of developing and implementing Regulatory Compliance and Financial Crime Compliance frameworks, policies and procedures.

Previous FinTech experience is highly desirable and there is a strong preference for previous trading experience or experience within another Application Programming Interface (API) driven environment (e.g. payments). You must also be happy to adopt a very hands-on approach to your work and possess demonstrable experience of successfully managing senior stakeholders.
