About the Role

We are looking for an ambitious Compliance Manager & AML Officer to serve as a key pillar in our Second Line of Defence (2LoD). You will tackle high-stakes financial crime risks, oversee complex EDD workflows, and keep our regulatory operations operating at gold-standard performance. We operate at FinTech speed: you are hands-on, relentlessly curious, and motivated by the challenge of mastering an evolving regulatory frontier.

Responsibilities

Monitor continuous EFT flows to detect unusual patterns, execute deep-dive financial crime investigations, resolve complex sanctions and PEP alerts, and formulate risk-based exit recommendations for offboarding.
Oversee EDD and SEDD operations, manage temporary KYC/CDD exception workflows with Senior Management and the CAMLO, and serve as the primary escalation point for complex onboarding inquiries.
Drive bulletproof execution of FINTRAC filings including Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs) and Electronic Funds Transfer Reports (EFTRs) within mandatory thresholds, track regulatory shifts, and support policy and procedure updates.
Maintain the AML/ATF Risk Assessment Methodology for our EFT product scope, compile evidence packages for regulatory exams and legal subpoenas, track MAP remediation items, and support third-party risk evaluations.
Develop and deliver targeted AML/ATF training modules for high-risk teams, officers, and Board members, tracking completion metrics and refreshing materials alongside operational changes.

Requirements

Proven track record in AML operations, financial crime investigations, or high-risk client management within a fast-paced, regulated financial services environment.
Deep working knowledge of the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (PCMLTFA), FINTRAC guidelines, economic sanctions, and Retail Payment Activities Act (RPAA) frameworks.
Hands-on experience evaluating complex corporate structures, managing SEDD/EDD mechanics, and evaluating high-risk customer portfolios in high-volume payment ecosystems.
Confident making independent, risk-based determinations, evaluating transaction monitoring rules, and knowing precisely when to escalate edge cases to Senior Management.
Exceptional formal writing skills, with the ability to draft clear procedures, defensible investigation reports, STR submissions, and executive risk summaries.
