Overview
Plaid is hiring a Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO) to oversee the UK AML/CTF framework and manage compliance operations. You'll work closely with legal and compliance teams to ensure regulatory adherence. This role requires significant experience in compliance and financial crime prevention.
Job Description
Who you are
You have extensive experience in compliance, particularly in anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) frameworks — your expertise allows you to navigate complex regulatory environments effectively. You understand the intricacies of financial crime prevention and have a proven track record of managing compliance teams to uphold high standards of governance. Your strong analytical skills enable you to assess risks and implement effective controls to mitigate them. You are a natural leader, capable of guiding teams through challenging compliance landscapes while fostering a culture of accountability and excellence.
You possess excellent communication skills, allowing you to articulate compliance strategies to both internal stakeholders and external regulators. You are adept at building relationships across departments, ensuring that compliance considerations are integrated into business operations. Your proactive approach to compliance means you stay ahead of regulatory changes and can adapt strategies accordingly. You are detail-oriented, with a keen eye for identifying potential compliance issues before they escalate.
What you'll do
As the Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO) at Plaid, you will take on the primary responsibility for the firm's UK AML/CTF framework, ensuring that all operations comply with relevant regulations. You will lead the compliance analyst team, overseeing their day-to-day activities related to AML, customer due diligence (CDD), transaction monitoring, and suspicious activity reports (SARs). Your role will involve regular reporting to the Head of Legal & Compliance (Europe), where you will provide insights on compliance performance and escalate any material risks or issues as necessary.
You will work closely with various teams to ensure that compliance is embedded in the company's culture and operations. This includes collaborating with product and business teams to deliver compliant growth strategies and shaping policy and regulatory engagement. You will also act as the firm's lead internal authority on fraud, recognizing its significance as a key predicate offense to money laundering. Your responsibilities will include developing and implementing training programs for staff to enhance their understanding of compliance requirements and best practices.
What we offer
Plaid offers a dynamic work environment where you can make a significant impact on the company's compliance framework. You will have the opportunity to work with a talented team dedicated to transforming the financial landscape. The company values innovation and encourages you to bring your ideas to the table. You will receive competitive compensation and benefits, along with opportunities for professional development and growth within the organization.
