Head of Financial Crime

A start up in the crypto currency and payments space is currently looking for an experienced compliance professional to come in and head up the financial crime team. For this role we are looking for a leader rather than someone who can manage people, someone able to see what is coming down the line and build a team for the future.  You will be responsible for onboarding and transaction monitoring and should know what good looks like in terms of financial crime controls. You will need strong expert knowledge of AML, sanctions, bribery and corruption. This is a great opportunity for someone from a more established organisation to join an early stage start up, which will offer the opportunity to influence and have visibility across the organisation as it goes.

For this position, it is essential that applicants have experience in the payments industry. You should have led a team in the past or created a team from scratch and experience of international growth would be an advantage. We are looking for someone who is a confident leader.
