MLRO & Compliance Officer UK
MLRO & Compliance Officer UK (Remote in UK)Are you already operating at an MLRO level — but just inheriting frameworks instead of building them? If you want full ownership of a UK compliance and financial crime programme from the ground up, keep reading. You'll be the MLRO for a truly global, fully remote crypto bank entering the UK market, responsible for standing up the entire AML/CTF and compliance framework. That means designing the programme, not maintaining someone else's.Lead regulatory engagement, own the risk assessment, file SARs, build monitoring frameworks, and set the tone for how the business approaches financial crime from day one. You'll also run the function — hiring, developing and leading the team — while working closely with product and operations to make sure compliance works in practice, not just on paper. Most MLRO roles are reactive. This one isn't. You'll have real authority, direct access to regulators, and genuine influence over how a modern crypto bank is built in the UK. It's fully remote, globally connected, and high trust — no unnecessary layers, no waiting for sign-off. You'll be backed by an established global compliance team, but with full ownership of the UK piece. High impact. High visibility. Real autonomy. And the package reflects it. We're looking for someone with 10 years of experience in fast-paced financial services compliance, ideally with exposure to crypto or digital assets, who is ready and qualified to be approved as MLRO by UK regulatory authorities. If you've been waiting for a role where you actually get to build the function — not just run it — let's talk.

Legal Counsel
Legal Counsel (Remote in UK, UK-qualified) You're a UK-qualified lawyer with 2-3 years of post-qualification experience, including regulatory work, who's tired of reviewing risk after the fact. You believe in crypto and want to be involved when the product is being shaped, not cleaning it up later. This role puts you at the centre of a crypto bank expanding into the UK. You'll help secure regulatory approval and shape how new products actually go to market. Real submissions. Real regulators. Real products. You'll work directly with marketing, and compliance to structure launches properly from day one. Your job is to translate complex UK regulation into clear decisions the business can act on. You'll also be the person who makes sense of fast-moving rules across banking, fintech, and crypto, turning noise into direction. If your current role feels slow or siloed, this will feel different. You'll have autonomy, direct access to decision-makers, and a genuine say in how things are built. It's fully remote. High trust. High standards. This truly international, fully remote company is building something still being defined: a bridge between traditional banking and crypto. The kind of complexity (and visibility) that actually grows your career. If you're curious what it looks like to help launch a regulated crypto bank into the UK, let's talk.
