London, United Kingdom Cledara Full time

We are looking for an experienced fintech compliance professional to join us as our Head of Compliance and MLRO.

Compliance at Cledara is currently run by our founders, both of whom have extensive compliance experience for fintech companies. You will be inheriting the compliance function at a company that has built a culture of compliance from day 1 and that understands how being strong in compliance can accelerate growth.

Cledara is a fast-growing SaaS fintech that offers an all-in-one SaaS purchasing, management, and compliance platform for companies.

We've just raised our $20M Series A, and we are looking for the next colleagues that will join us to help us take the next big leap together. We are backed by leading investors, including Notion Capital and Commerz Ventures, and have received global recognition:

- SaaS Startup of the Year 2018 by SaaStock
- Top 5 female-founded SaaS companies globally by Microsoft's M12 Venture Fund and Melinda Gates Pivotal Ventures
- FinTech 50 'Hot Ten' company in 2020 for being one of the fastest-growing fintech startups in Europe

We help companies in the USA, UK, and Europe become more successful users of SaaS by unifying and automating the whole SaaS journey in a business - discovery, purchase, management, and cancellation. We are growing very quickly and looking forward to having a passionate leader join our growing team in the UK.

Tasks

This is a critical role for the growth of the company as we continue our rapid growth in the UK and Europe. You will:
- Be a business leader who can enable the company to successfully navigate risk in a regulated and fast paced environment

- Develop, maintain and implement Compliance and Risk policies, procedures, manuals, and programs to reflect best practice with regulatory and industry requirements, and ensure adherence by all employees
- Perform audits and reassess existing processes to effectively anticipate, manage and reduce risk to the business.
- Develop the required AML and Financial Crime training for staff
- Foster an environment of regulatory awareness to ensure regulatory compliance
- Implement operational efficiencies across customer services, financial operations and compliance operations to reduce cost and improve customer experience

**Requirements**:

- Prior experience within the Compliance function of a FCA regulated fintech that sells to SMEs or mid-market companies

- Knowledge and understanding of relevant legislation and compliance in UK and Europe

**Benefits**:
