BettingJobs is working with a fast-growing UK-licensed betting operator to appoint an AML & MLRO Manager. This is a senior compliance appointment with primary ownership of the AML and financial crime framework, alongside Safer Gambling and wider regulatory compliance, reporting into senior management.
The role is hands-on and genuinely broad. You will review what is currently in place, identify where it can be strengthened and take full ownership of policies, procedures, and day-to-day practice — acting as the designated MLRO and the internal escalation point for financial crime matters. It will suit an experienced compliance professional who wants real autonomy in a growing operator and is comfortable being both strategic and operational.
Responsibilities:
- Own and develop the AML and financial crime compliance framework, ensuring alignment with UKGC requirements, legislation, and industry guidance
- Conduct a full review of existing AML policies, procedures, and controls and drive improvements
- Oversee customer risk assessment, CDD, EDD, Source of Funds, and Source of Wealth procedures
- Provide guidance on higher-risk customers, unusual activity, and complex cases
- Act as designated MLRO — assessing internal reports, submitting SARs to the National Crime Agency, and maintaining investigation records
- Report to senior management on AML risks, cases, trends, and control effectiveness
- Maintain and develop the business-wide money laundering and terrorist financing risk assessment
- Review Safer Gambling policies, customer interaction triggers, account restrictions, and escalation procedures
- Advise operational teams on complex Safer Gambling cases and ensure decisions are documented and auditable
- Monitor regulatory developments, support regulatory submissions and information requests, and prepare the business for compliance assessments
- Deliver AML, Safer Gambling, and regulatory training, embedding a strong compliance culture
