Operations Director & MLRO

Operations, Compliance, MLRO, money laundering reporting officer, payments, money transfer, fx,

My client, a leading UK FX, payments and money transfer company, is looking for a new Operations director MLRO to lead an existing team and help develop group strategy.

My client has asked for someone within payments, money transfer and/or the FX industry. Ideally they are looking for someone who has worked at an FCA authorised payment institution and who has expert knowledge of FCA guidelines. For this role, you will be managing a compliance team, payments team and a customer support team, a total of around 9 staff.

I am looking for someone with experience working as either a head of operations, deputy head of operations, operations manager, a compliance manager with operational oversight, MLRO or a hybrid position. This is role that requires experience in detecting fraud, training staff on the latest AML policies and various procedures and managing the payments team. As my client is a fast growing company, it would be useful if the job holder was continuously looking to improve processes and systems, eg, to improve their use of Swift. You will have an advantage if you have done this in a similar company previously.

The client wants a strong communicator who can lead a team, perform all relevant reporting (suspicious activity reports etc), help onboard new clients, handle complaints and improve process where they see fit.
