Chief Compliance Officer | Fintech | London (Hybrid)
Alexander Barnes is exclusively partnering with one of the UK's fastest growing fintech's to appoint a Chief Compliance Officer.
This isn't a role where you inherit someone else's framework and keep the lights on. It's a blank page. You'll be the most senior compliance voice in the business, sitting alongside the Founder and shaping how one of the most exciting names in UK.
The business
VC-backed, scaling fast, and built around a simple mission: helping people access credit and build a better financial future. Its flagship credit card product is already making an impact, and an AI-led roadmap means the next chapter is even bigger.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Why this role stands out
- Real ownership. You'll design the compliance function from the ground up, with no legacy and no layers of sign off.
- A direct line to the top. You'll work hand in hand with the Founder, with a genuine say in strategy, product and growth, not just risk.
- Equity. You'll join the options plan once it launches, so you share in the value you help build.
- Visibility. You'll own the FCA relationship and be the name the regulator knows.
- Pace. Your decisions land in weeks, not quarters.
Who we're looking for
You're a senior compliance leader with 12 to 15 years experience in financial services or fintech, ideally with strong exposure to consumer lending. You've built compliance programmes rather than just run them. You know FCA rules, Consumer Duty and consumer credit regulation inside out, and you're commercial enough to make compliance an enabler rather than a blocker. You have the presence to influence at executive and board level, and you want to be in the room where decisions get made. CAMS, CRCP or similar is a bonus.
