London, United Kingdom Liberis Full time

**Financial Crime Officer**

**Reporting to**:Director of Compliance

**Location**:London, United Kingdom

**Who we are and why we exist**

At Liberis - merchants matter most We've been on a mission to provide small and medium businesses (SMEs) with accessible and responsive finance since 2007. SMEs account for most businesses worldwide and are critical contributors to job creation and global economic development. They represent about 90% of businesses and more than 50% of employment worldwide. Despite this, more than three quarters (77%) of SME businesses last year were unable to secure the traditional bank financing they desperately needed to grow and thrive. This has created a $5 trillion funding gap for SMEs globally.

That's where Liberis steps in To best help small businesses, Liberis has built the leading global embedded finance platform. Through this, Liberis provides partners with the technology and financial solutions necessary to offer personalised and accessible funding to their small business customers.

To date with ~20 global strategic partners and direct reach to more than 1 million small businesses, Liberis has provided $1 bn of funding in over 50,000 transactions, enabling more than 100,000 jobs to be created and saved. We are making a genuine difference to your local pub, hairdresser and online retailer

We are in a very exciting period of growth, in the UK and internationally, with teams based in London, Nottingham, Stockholm, Atlanta, Munich and remotely. We are looking for talented and ambitious individuals to help us reshape business finance. How we work is as important to us as what we do - exemplified by our behaviours:
1 **Merchants matter most** - our success is tied to our merchants' success

2 **Act like time is running out **- the fastest company in a growing market will win

3 **Own every outcome **- the hardest problems we face are yet to be solved

4 **Communicate directly **- we don't have time to beat around the bush

5 **Prove it**:

- every feature we build, decision we make and action we take, matters

6 **Empathy always** - Liberis wins when every employee thrives

**If our mission and behaviours resonate - get in touch**

**Who are you?**

Our commitment to integrity and compliance underpins everything we do. As we continue to expand, we are seeking a Financial Crime Officer to join our Compliance team with the remit and oversight across all Liberis geographies. This pivotal role demands a highly motivated and passionate individual who is eager to support our business by ensuring the highest standards of financial crime controls and compliance with AML regulations, particularly within the EU. The business has and continues to grow exponentially which requires a compliance team to keep pace and evolve its financial crime framework, controls, policies and culture. If you like to roll your sleeves up, create not just follow and think laterally about how to structure a financial crime framework that supports fast international growth, this could be your dream role
