Requirements

• Substantial experience in a payments compliance, product compliance, or regulatory advisory role at a regulated fintech, payment institution, e-money institution, or bank — with a clear specialism in payments and/or cards.
• Deep, practical knowledge of the regulatory frameworks governing payment services in the UK and/or EU/EEA — including PSD2/PSR, EMD2, FCA payment services rules, and SEPA scheme rules.
• Awareness of the EU PSD3/PSR legislative package and its key divergences from the current PSD2 regime and the UK's post-Brexit PSR, and the implications for payment institutions operating across both regimes.
• Working knowledge of card scheme rules (Visa and/or Mastercard) and the compliance obligations they place on programme managers and issuers.
• Experience providing first-line compliance oversight of product launches, feature changes, or new payment rail integrations — including SEPA scheme participation or cross-border payment rail integrations — in a regulated environment.
• Demonstrated ability to advise product and technology teams on regulatory implementation in a practical and commercially aware way, including where requirements differ across jurisdictions.
• Experience managing or mentoring junior compliance colleagues, with a genuine interest in developing others.
• Strong understanding of how FinCrime controls — KYC, transaction monitoring, sanctions — interact with payment and card product design across both UK and EU regulatory frameworks.
