Head of Compliance & MLRO | Cross-Border Payments | London (Hybrid) | Competitive Equity We're working on a search for a high-growth payments fintech operating across the globe.  This isn't a policy-maintenance role. It's a genuine build job. You'll own the entire compliance function across the group, hold MLRO status in multiple jurisdictions, and sit close to the founders and senior leadership. Compliance here is treated as infrastructure, not overhead — the people hiring for this role actually mean it. What you'll own: Group-wide AML/CFT frameworks and policies. SAR/STR decisions and filings with the NCA and FINTRAC. Transaction monitoring and sanctions programmes. B2B customer risk framework and high-risk onboarding decisions. FCA EMI and FINTRAC MSB obligations. Compliance reporting to the Board. Partnership due diligence. A growing team. What you'll need: 8 years in compliance in fintech, payments, or e-money - not purely banking. Current or prior MLRO at an FCA-regulated firm. Fluent English, French is a plus. Strong knowledge of at least two of: UK FCA/MLRs, Canada FINTRAC/PCMLTFA, or Africa BCEAO/BEAC. Comfortable being both the strategic owner and the person who writes the policy and reviews the escalation yourself. London-based hybrid. Competitive salary. Equity. Quarterly trave is part of the role — if that excites rather than deters you, you're probably the right fit. Message us.

Deputy Chief of Compliance | Global Crypto On-Ramp | Remote (EU) | Competitive Bonus We're retained on a search that doesn't come up often. A bootstrapped, profitable crypto business - over a decade in market, multiple active licences, significant transaction volumes, and strong YoY growth - needs a Deputy CCO who can genuinely own the compliance function. No VC board. No inherited bureaucracy. A business that knows what it is and is now scaling hard into new jurisdictions. Compliance isn't overhead here. It's what makes the product sellable to regulated partners globally. Real weight, real visibility, real authority. What you'll own: The compliance framework across all geos and product lines. Month one: full audit, prioritised remediation plan, signed off by you. Ongoing: licence applications, regulator engagement, senior stakeholder relationships, team development. You set the agenda. What you'll need: 5 years senior AML/compliance in regulated crypto or fintech. Deep EU AML/CFT knowledge - AMLD5/AMLR, MiCA, Travel Rule. Proven track record on licence applications and regulator interactions. Multi-jurisdictional exposure. People leadership experience. Fully remote across the EU. Competitive salary. Performance bonus. This is the kind of role you take when you're done being a number two who doesn't actually get to lead. Message us.

We're working with a regulated, profitable crypto on-ramp on a critical UK hire. They're pursuing dual FCA authorisation - cryptoasset registration under MLR 2017 and EMI authorisation and they need the person who's going to make it happen, then own it permanently. This isn't a figurehead MLRO role. SMF16 and SMF17 sit with you. You build the UK compliance framework from scratch - no inherited mess, no committee to water down your decisions. You file the SARs, you engage the FCA directly, you report to the Board. The authority matches the accountability. What you'll own: The full UK AML/CTF and sanctions framework. SAR filing with the NCA including consent SARs and moratorium management. The Compliance Monitoring Programme. Board reporting. The FCA registration and EMI authorisation workstreams. Everything UK compliance - yours to build and yours to run.
