About the role
The Financial Crime team combines regulatory knowledge with data-led decision making to ensure products meet legal and policy expectations while still creating value for customers. In a fast-changing digital environment, the team focuses on practical, scalable ways to reduce financial crime risk.
This position is for a Head of Financial Crime Compliance to shape and oversee the compliance framework for crypto-related activities. The role requires strong regulatory judgement, business awareness, and the ability to help ensure crypto features align with global AML/CTF requirements.
Key responsibilities
- Guide cryptoasset products through the complex global financial crime regulatory environment.
- Oversee financial crime compliance across several crypto jurisdictions and operating entities.
- Create, maintain, and strengthen group-wide financial crime policies so they remain current and effective.
- Support the identification, fixing, and closure of financial crime-related incidents and control issues.
- Provide second-line-of-defense guidance to the business and first-line financial crime teams during the launch of products, procedures, processes, and systems.
- Ensure financial crime considerations are embedded into everyday operations, including product development and customer acquisition activities.
- Build, maintain, and review dashboards that highlight areas outside risk appetite and require further review.
- Prepare reports for group committees and the Board, and escalate important or high-risk financial crime compliance matters when needed.
Requirements
- At least 7 years of experience in financial crime, including AML/CTF and sanctions, with exposure to areas such as KYC, CDD, transaction monitoring, and risk assessments for both retail and business customers.
- Strong experience working with crypto products and a solid understanding of associated financial crime risks, frameworks, and laws such as FATF and TFR.
- Background in managing financial crime risk within a regulated entity, including exposure to frameworks such as MiCA and VARA.
- Deep knowledge of global expectations for financial crime controls.
- Awareness of wider industry practices and current trends in financial crime prevention.
- Proven ability to identify financial crime risks and weaknesses, then recommend effective remediation and best-practice solutions.
- Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to collaborate, influence, negotiate, and communicate clearly.
- Fluency in English.
Nice to have
- Certification from a recognised professional body such as ICA or ACAMS.
- Familiarity with anti-fraud regulatory matters and control assessment processes.
