Head of Product Compliance

Essential Experience

Substantial experience in product compliance, FinCrime compliance, or a first-line compliance role at a regulated fintech, payments firm, or financial institution — ideally with direct exposure to both product/technology teams and FinCrime systems.

Deep, practical knowledge of AML/FinCrime regulatory requirements — including KYC/CDD, transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, and risk-based approaches — and how these translate into product and systems design.

Solid understanding of payment services regulation across one or more of our key markets (UK, EU/EEA, LATAM, Asia-Pacific), including PSD2/PSR, FCA rules, EMD, and equivalent frameworks.

Demonstrated ability to provide first-line compliance oversight of FinCrime system changes (e.g. TM system migrations, new KYC vendors, screening tool replacements) in a regulated environment.

Proven track record of advising product and engineering teams on regulatory implementation in a practical, customer-oriented, and commercially aware way.

We are creating a brand-new Head of Product Compliance role at Ebury — a first-of-its-kind position that embeds compliance expertise directly into the heart of how we build, change, and launch products and systems. This is a senior, highly visible role at the intersection of product, technology, and regulatory strategy, and an opportunity to shape how one of Europe's leading fintechs approaches compliance-by-design at scale.

The scope of this role is broad by design. You will be Ebury's primary first-line compliance voice across the full product and technology estate — from payment accounts and FX tools to the FinCrime infrastructure that underpins everything we do. When engineering builds a new KYC onboarding flow, replaces a transaction monitoring system, upgrades sanctions screening, or changes how customer risk is scored, you are the person who ensures it is done right before it goes live. You will report into the Group Compliance Director and work closely with our product squads, engineering teams, and second-line Compliance and Risk functions, as well as engaging directly with regulators and banking partners globally.

Ensure that every product, feature, system, and market Ebury launches is built on solid regulatory foundations — without slowing down innovation. You will own the first-line product compliance programme globally, with particular depth in FinCrime controls (KYC, AML, transaction monitoring, sanctions), and will balance regulatory rigour with commercial ambition and a relentless focus on customer experience.
