About Faza Holding

Faza Holding is an international group of companies operating across regulated financial services and technology. The group includes a UK FCA-regulated Electronic Money Institution (EMI), and technology platforms in the US.

We are hiring a Group Head of Compliance/MLRO to lead compliance and financial crime prevention across the group.

This role is a major opportunity for professional growth and career progression. We are looking for a strong, proactive compliance leader with a solid AML foundation, who is ready to take ownership, build and scale processes, and drive compliance as a strategic function across multiple entities, products, and jurisdictions.

You will have high visibility, direct exposure to senior leadership, and the ability to shape compliance standards across the group - from more traditional EMI and payments compliance to complex and evolving areas including crypto-related processes.

Key Responsibilities

  • Serve as the Group Head of Compliance/MLRO and act as a key point of contact with relevant regulators and external stakeholders (including the FCA where applicable).
  • Develop, implement, and maintain a robust group-wide compliance and financial crime prevention framework, aligned with applicable regulatory requirements and best practices.
  • Design and establish compliance policies, procedures, and controls, ensuring full coverage across the group’s entities, products, and operational processes.
  • Conduct and oversee risk assessments, transaction monitoring governance, suspicious activity reporting (SARs), and enhanced due diligence (EDD).
  • Prepare and submit relevant regulatory reports and compliance documentation (e.g., regulatory returns, financial crime reports, governance reporting, and SMCR-related responsibilities where applicable).
  • Act as a senior compliance leader under strong governance principles, ensuring accountability and clear oversight across the group’s compliance structure.
  • Advise the Board and senior management on compliance and financial crime risks, obligations, emerging trends, and best practices.
  • Provide training, guidance, and day-to-day support to teams to foster a strong compliance culture across the group.
  • Lead regulatory change management, ensuring the group stays ahead of evolving rules, industry standards, and financial crime typologies.
  • Scale and manage the compliance function as the group expands, providing leadership, mentorship, and operational structure.
  • Serve as an independent and trusted voice within the business, ensuring ethical and regulatory standards are met while supporting commercial growth.
  • Maintain up-to-date knowledge of industry standards and best practices related to compliance and financial crime prevention.
  • Ensure robust customer due diligence processes, including identification and verification of clients and beneficial owners, and clear documentation of the nature and purpose of client relationships.
  • Document and maintain financial crime risk management policies and the group’s overall risk profile.
  • Oversee governance, resourcing, and implementation of transaction screening and monitoring systems, ensuring effectiveness and appropriate performance oversight.
  • Provide information and reporting to the governing body and senior management, including the annual MLRO report on the effectiveness of AML systems, controls, and financial crime risk management.

Requirements

  • Proven track record in Compliance, MLRO (SMF17 / SMF16), Deputy MLRO, or similar compliance role within a regulated financial services environment (fintech, payments, EMI, banking, crypto, or related sectors).
  • Strong knowledge of UK regulatory and AML frameworks, including EMRs, PSD2, FCA Handbook, MLR 2017, and JMLSG guidance.
  • Demonstrated experience in building and improving compliance and AML frameworks from the ground up, including policies, procedures, controls, and governance.
  • Strong understanding of AML/CTF, sanctions, fraud, and financial crime risks, including transaction monitoring principles and risk-based controls design.
  • Experience in preparing and submitting regulatory returns and compliance reporting (including FCA-related reporting where applicable).
  • Excellent leadership skills with the ability to work hands-on and operationally, while also developing into a strategic leader capable of scaling the function and managing a team.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to influence and advise senior stakeholders and Board-level management.
  • High integrity, resilience, independence, and sound judgement, with the ability to balance regulatory requirements with commercial objectives.
  • Confidence to take ownership and lead processes end-to-end, while also knowing when to involve external expertise for specialised areas (e.g., complex cross-border requirements, crypto-related processes, or new regulatory expectations).
  • UK recognised AML / MLRO certification is preferred, such as CAMS (ACAMS) and/or ICA International Diploma in Anti Money Laundering / Compliance.
  • Minimum 5 years of relevant experience in compliance and AML roles.
  • Degree in finance, business administration, law, or a related field is preferred.
  • Right to work in the UK is required, and the candidate should be based in London (or within commuting distance).

  • Russian language skills are a strong advantage
