Established business & personal payments institution seeks a Head of Compliance/MLRO to join its senior leadership team. The incumbent will be accountable for regulatory and financial crime compliance, safeguarding the business against fraud, money laundering, security threats and reputational risks. More specifically, the successful candidate will be responsible for AML oversight whilst ensuring suspicious activities are investigated and resolved. As a highly interactive role, the job holder will manage compliance staff based in the UK and overseas, liaising with national/international law enforcement entities as well as industry counterparts to proactively identify fraud trends and organised criminal activity. Candidates need prior compliance experience having held or currently holding both SMF16 & SMF17 within a payments/electronic money institution, although those with only SMF17 to date may be considered if their practical experience is sufficiently generalist. Strong working knowledge of AML, CTF and SARs from an advisory perspective is essential.
