Responsibilities
- Own the execution of AML/CFT program activities including transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, suspicious activity reporting, and KYC/CDD/EDD quality assurance reviews for the Luxembourg entity.
- Execute compliance monitoring and testing activities in line with the Compliance Monitoring Plan, documenting findings, identifying control gaps, and tracking remediation actions to closure.
- Prepare and coordinate regulatory reports, AML submissions (e.g., FIU/LE responses, AML Risk Assessments), dashboards, and materials for internal governance bodies.
- Support regulatory horizon scanning and impact assessments for new or emerging EU/Luxembourg regulations, translating changes into updates to local policies, procedures, and controls.
- Maintain compliance registers (controls, conflicts of interest, breaches, complaints) and contribute to the upkeep of the Compliance Risk Assessment and related frameworks.
Requirements
- 3-4+ years of compliance experience within an EU-regulated financial institution (e-money institution, payment institution, bank, or MiFID II-regulated entity), with direct exposure to AML/CFT programs and regulatory reporting.
- Demonstrated working knowledge of EU financial regulations including MiCA, PSD2, AMLD, MiFID II, DORA, and GDPR, with the ability to apply them to day-to-day compliance operations.
- Proven experience executing compliance monitoring/testing plans, drafting policies, and preparing materials for regulators, auditors, or governance bodies.
- Fluency in English required; proficiency in French is a strong advantage for engaging with Luxembourg regulators and local stakeholders.
- Familiarity with crypto assets and crypto-related regulatory frameworks (e.g., MiCA implementation) is preferred.
Conditions
- Target annual base salary range: $52K-$88K.
- Total compensation may also include equity and bonus eligibility and benefits (including medical, dental, and vision).
