Since launching in April 2020, we've deployed over $5bn to thousands of businesses worldwide, backed by Tier 1 banks like J.P. Morgan. We've become a trusted financing partner for some amazing brands, like True Classic, Little Words Project and Kekoa Foods.

🚀 Your Role at a Glance: The key ways you'll bring value to the team

• Strategic Risk Management: Own the development and annual refresh of our company wide Risk Register. You’ll identify where our gaps are and ensure we’re staying ahead of the curve as the business evolves.

• Regulatory Project Support: Act as a key contributor to high-stakes project teams (including licensing applications). You’ll work alongside program managers and legal counsel to ensure our operational compliance meets the highest standards.

• Governance Frameworks: Design and implement a scalable policy and procedure management framework. You’ll be the owner of how we draft, approve, and roll out internal controls.

• AI & Automation: Identify friction points in our current workflows and partner with our Product and Engineering teams to implement AI-driven solutions. Your goal is to automate the routine so the team can focus on the complex.

• Advisory: Act as a senior point of contact for the Dublin team, providing guidance on how we balance compliance requirements with our focus on business growth.

🔨 What Makes You a Great Fit

• Experience: You’ve likely spent 3+ years in a senior compliance or regulatory role, ideally within Fintech or a fast-paced financial services environment.

• The "Growth" Mindset: You see compliance as a business enabler, not a roadblock. You’re comfortable with ambiguity and confidential projects.

• Tech-Forward: You don’t need to be a coder, but you should be obsessed with efficiency. You understand how LLMs and automation can be applied to financial crime and monitoring.

• Communication: You can take a complex regulation and boil it down into a simple internal process.

🤝 What to Expect After You Apply

You can expect to hear from a member of our Talent Acquisition team soon. If we believe you're a good fit, the first step will be a conversation with a recruiter who will guide you through the next stages of the process.
