Head of Compliance & MLRO | Cross-Border Payments | London (Hybrid) | Competitive + Equity
London-based hybrid. Competitive salary. 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.
