Regulatory reporting and requirements: leading Crezco's second line of defense to ensure compliance with applicable laws and standards while actively engaging with the FCA as a key stakeholder in Crezco's future. Third-party banking partner engagement: Crezco partners with various third-party financial institutions; the role will require actively engaging with existing partners and potential new partners to ensure our products and services are recognized for their compliance excellence. What you will need to be successful: Track record of building and establishing efficient processes and procedures. 5+ PQE years working at a regulatory payments/fintech scale-up with strong existing knowledge of financial crime risk management, know-your-customer/business (KYC/B) checks, transaction monitoring, and sanctions screening.
