Head of Financial Crime & MLRO

Are you ready to safeguard the future of fintech at one of Europe’s fastest-growing embedded finance platforms? At YouLend, we are redefining how businesses access capital, and we are looking for a visionary Head of Financial Crime & MLRO to anchor our integrity as we scale across the UK, EU, and US. This is not a role for someone looking to build from scratch; it is a high-impact opportunity to inherit a sophisticated, modern infrastructure and refine it into a gold-standard framework. You will take full ownership of our AML, KYC/KYB, and transaction monitoring systems, turning complex regulatory challenges into a competitive advantage that fuels our global expansion.

In this pivotal leadership position, you will be the heartbeat of our compliance strategy, bridging the gap between cutting-edge financial innovation and rigorous risk management. We have already made significant investments in our technological stack, and now we need your expertise to optimize our governance, MI, and operational workflows to match our aggressive growth trajectory. If you are a strategic thinker who thrives on data-driven decision-making and wants to shape the culture of trust within a dynamic, high-growth environment, this is your chance to make a lasting mark on the fintech landscape.
