About the Role

We’re looking for a Compliance Officer to take full ownership of our KYC/CDD processes, identify and escalate risks, and ensure our legal and regulatory frameworks run seamlessly across all markets we operate in.

- Communicate with clients and partners regarding KYC and onboarding processes.
