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.
