Head of Compliance and MLRO — Partnerships & Agents

We're seeking a Head of Compliance and MLRO for Partnerships & Agents to oversee compliance and financial-crime risk arising from our Program Manager channel. You'll design the framework for onboarding and monitoring PMs, and adjudicate onboarding decisions as MLRO for KYD.

Requirements

• 5+ years in financial-services compliance, with at least 5 years in a senior role at an EMI, payment institution, investment firm, or bank with a comparable outsourced-distribution, agent, or program-manager model.
• Demonstrable experience as a named MLRO or deputy MLRO, ideally with onboarding decision-making authority.
• Direct experience overseeing an introducer, agent, or program-manager network at scale — including annual reviews, fit & proper assessments, and supervisory engagement.
• Experience designing and submitting registration or notification filings across multiple jurisdictions (UK and/or EU).
• Track record using data and MI to drive risk-based oversight at scale — not just reviewing individual case files.
• Strong working knowledge of financial-crime frameworks, outsourcing standards, and conduct expectations across the firm's operating jurisdictions.

• Competitive Starting Salary with an annual discretionary bonus that truly rewards your performance from day one.
• Dedicated Mentorship: Learn directly from experienced managers who are invested in your success.
