Head of Compliance & MLRO | AI-native Fintech Start-Up | London (5 days on-site)
We're partnering with an AI-native fintech backed by some of Europe's most celebrated technology investors, with a founding team that's built multi-billion pound businesses in banking and payments before.
They're hiring a Head of Compliance & MLRO to build their compliance function from the ground up. The business is working towards full FCA e-money institution authorisation, and this hire will own that journey and everything that follows: the framework, the regulator relationship, and financial crime oversight as MLRO.
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.
What you'll do:
- Build and own compliance end-to-end: policies, monitoring, reporting
- Act as MLRO, covering financial crime, AML, sanctions and transaction monitoring
- Lead engagement with the FCA as the business works towards full authorisation
- Report directly to the founders and the Board
What you'll bring:
- Senior compliance experience in a regulated payments, e-money or fintech business
- Ready to hold MLRO accountability, with real regulatory depth
- A builder, not a maintainer: you want to create a function, not inherit one
- Comfortable working lean and hands-on
- Curious about using AI to modernise compliance
