About Shufti Shufti is a global leader in AI-powered identity verification (IDV) and anti-money laundering (AML) solutions, offering advanced KYC (Know Your Customer), KYB (Know Your Business) and KYI (Know Your Investor) services that enable businesses to onboard customers securely and meet regulatory requirements. Founded in 2017 and trusted by industry leaders in FinTech, Crypto, Banking, E-commerce, and iGaming, our technology delivers real-time verification in over 240 countries and territories-empowering a safer, fraud free digital world. Position Purpose: The Head of Compliance & Legal Operations is a critical leadership role responsible for building, owning, and defending Shufti Pro's global compliance framework. This role is the company's central control function for regulatory risk, requiring deep integration with our product and commercial strategy. You will also coordinate essential legal and contract administration workflows. We are seeking a builder and an owner, not just a manager, who can operate with high autonomy in our lean, fast paced environment. The Non Negotiables (What You Must Have Done Before): Built or fundamentally reshaped a global compliance program in a fintech, RegTech, crypto adjacent, or technology company serving regulated financial institutions. Hands on experience analyzing and applying regulatory requirements across multiple key jurisdictions (specifically US, UK, EU, and/or Middle East), with a working knowledge of frameworks like US BSA/AML, UK MLRs/FCA handbooks, EU AMLD, GDPR, and an understanding of DORA, MiCA, and crypto asset regulations. Acted as a true control function, with proven experience shaping commercial deals, product features, and market entry decisions from the outset based on regulatory constraints-not just performing post facto risk assessments. Operated successfully in a resource lean environment where you have personally handled legal adjacent or operational tasks beyond a narrow compliance remit. Key Responsibilities: 1. Strategic Compliance Ownership & Build: Design, implement, and own the end to end global compliance framework from the ground up, ensuring it is fully integrated into our product architecture and GTM strategy. Conduct granular regulatory perimeter analysis for new and existing markets, translating complex regulations into actionable, commercially aware requirements for product, sales, and engineering teams. Serve as the definitive internal authority on regulatory risk tolerance. Articulate clear, binary boundaries and provide decisive guidance to leadership, with the authority to shape business decisions. 2. Commercial & Product Partnership: Embed compliance into the product lifecycle and sales process. Review and approve new product features, customer proposals, and commercial structures before commitments are made. Act as a strategic partner to Sales, enabling deal closure by designing compliant solutions and articulating our control environment to enterprise customers and partners. Draft and negotiate compliance related clauses in customer and partner contracts, in close collaboration with the General Counsel. 3. Operational Execution & Control: Establish and run all core compliance operations (policies, training, monitoring, incident management) with a focus on practicality and audit ready documentation. Own the compliance risk register and lead regulatory engagements, including audits, inquiries, and licensing processes. Coordinate legal operations: manage contract lifecycle from intake to execution, maintain legal playbooks, and track tasks to reduce executive load. 4. Leadership & Mindset: Thrive in ambiguity and a flat structure. You will be the primary compliance resource and must be comfortable executing hands on work while setting strategic direction. Foster a culture of regulatory excellence that balances robust risk management with the pace of a high growth technology company. Required Experience & Skills: 8+ years of compliance experience, with the majority gained in technology driven financial services (fintech, payments, crypto, RegTech). Experience at an identity verification provider is a significant plus. Proven track record of building or substantially rebuilding a compliance program, not just maintaining an established one. Expert level knowledge of AML/CFT, Sanctions, and KYC regulations across major jurisdictions. Strong working knowledge of GDPR/data protection as it applies to processing operations. Demonstrated experience acting as a commercial partner and control function. You can point to instances where you directly said "no" or "only this way" to a commercial deal or product launch based on regulatory risk. Experience with contract management and legal operations workflows. Excellent English communication skills, with the ability to command authority with internal teams, customers, and regulators. Relevant certifications (CAMS, ICA, etc.) are preferred.

Berrys At Berrys, we are all about land and property. Working from four offices across the Midlands, we offer an array of services - planning, architecture, building surveying, valuation and business consultancy - to help our clients make the most of their assets. You will be part of a multi-disciplinary development team made up of engineers, surveyors, archaeologists, planners and architects. You will be part of a business which is big enough for a varied range of work and opportunities. However, it is small enough to provide autonomy and a chance to really get to know everyone expanding your skills and building new connections. A strategic requirement to create growth has arisen within the Hereford office. This role would benefit from an individual who is experienced in creating growth and establishing a presence in the Planning, Architecture and Building Surveying space. The successful candidate would have a track record of growing teams, creating brand awareness and establishing strong networks and relationships.

Be experienced and comfortable delivering planning consultancy work in several different sectors and services. This should include general planning advice as well as strategic planning advice.

Have a strong understanding of the entire development process, particularly post-planning work such as technical design, procurement and our construction-phase services. Demonstrate strong project management skills by coordinating teams both internally and externally, identifying the correct delivery team, manage client risks and project programmes. Offer support to other members of the team and help to grow and develop their knowledge and understand of planning and the wider development offer. Demonstrate a strong understanding of the financial requirements of our business and shape the way the team works to increase efficiency, productivity and profitability. Principal Planning Consultant/Development Lead - Strategic Requirements: Quickly gain a strong understanding of the business model, our various service offerings, and critically how they work together to create a unique offer to our clients. Demonstrate the ability to cross-sell other services such as Land Promotion, Agency and Valuation. Utilise a track record of marketing, business development and brand awareness to demonstrably grow our development offer within Hereford. Create a strong network of developers, landowners, promoters and agents within the area and begin to increase the baseline of planning and development instructions. Utilise existing connections and relationships to increase the level and quality of our instructions within Hereford both for the planning and development function and, where possible, the wider service offers within the business. Gain an intimate understanding of our planning offer, the opportunities and weaknesses that we currently face and implement a plan to diversify. This should include both the types of development work we do as well as the markets we operate in.
