London, Greater London, United Kingdom Verto Full time

At Verto, we're on a mission to democratise global finance and empower businesses in Emerging Markets to reach the world. Founded by British-Nigerian entrepreneurs Ola Oyetayo and Anthony Oduu, our roots in Africa provided a firsthand understanding of the significant challenges businesses face with cross-border payments, ranging from illiquid currencies and high fees to slow transactions. This deep-rooted insight is why Africa remains a core focus, as we're committed to bridging the gap between emerging and developed markets and fostering global economic growth.

What started as an FX solution for the Nigerian Naira has evolved into a market-leading platform, enabling thousands of businesses to seamlessly transfer billions of dollars annually. We believe that where you do business shouldn't determine your success or ability to scale. We're creating equal access to the easy payment and liquidity solutions that are already a given in developed markets.

We're not alone in realising this crucial need; we're backed by world-class investors including Y-Combinator, Quona, and MEVP. With Verto receiving the Milken-Motsepe Prize, appearing on CNBCs list of fastest growing UK companies, the Deloitte Fast 50 and Sifted's fastest-growing UK tech companies, we are building a seamless cross-border payment future. Join us as we continue to grow and transform global finance.

As part of this exciting growth, we are looking to hire a FinCrime Associate to join our dynamic Compliance team.

FinCrime Associate – Regulatory & Analysis Focus

This role suits an individual with a strong analytical mind, adept at interpreting complex regulations, and proactive in managing compliance risks across diverse jurisdictions.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Interpret and analyse financial crime-related regulations (MLR, POCA, JMLSG, sanctions regimes), providing insights and actionable guidance to internal teams.

  • Conduct regulatory horizon scanning and support policy updates in response to legal and industry developments.

  • Assist in the creation and ongoing refinement of a scalable financial crime control testing framework.

  • Draft and maintain policies, procedures, and controls aligned with legal obligations and regulatory expectations.

  • Analyse regulatory requirements in foreign jurisdictions ahead of licence applications or market entry, ensuring Verto is operationally and procedurally prepared for new regulatory environments.

  • Carry out regulatory breach assessments, reviewing incidents to determine if they constitute a breach, assessing severity, and ensuring appropriate regulatory engagement where required.

  • Conduct risk assessments and gap analyses with a particular lens on regulatory adherence.

  • Support and respond to regulatory inquiries, audits, and partner due diligence.

  • Oversee SAR filings and liaise with law enforcement and banking partners as needed.

  • Collaborate with Product, Legal, and Ops teams to embed regulatory compliance in new and existing offerings.

  • Help deliver AML/CTF training to internal teams and raise awareness of evolving regulatory duties.

Who You Are:

  • 3–5 years of experience in financial crime or regulatory compliance, preferably in a fast-paced fintech or payments firm.

  • Solid grasp of the FCA-regulated environment and confidence navigating relevant regulations.

  • Excellent research and analytical skills with a high reasoning ability.

  • ICA, ACAMS, or similar professional certification preferred.

  • Experience with SARs, transaction monitoring, and policy development.

  • Familiarity with complex ownership structures and cross-border compliance risk.

  • Motivated, intellectually curious, and able to perform under pressure.

  • Experience in control testing or a desire to build in this area.

Why Join Verto?

Joining Verto means you'll be part of a mission-driven team that's redefining global finance. You won't just be filling a role; you'll be making a tangible impact:

  • Shape Core Infrastructure & Strategy: Play a central role in refining the operational backbone of our financial crime controls and risk management processes, directly influencing policies and strategic decisions at a high-growth fintech.

  • Real-World Impact: Your work will directly improve how we identify, assess, and remediate risks, helping to tackle financial crime in diverse markets and contributing to financial integrity and global economic inclusion.

  • Data-Driven Environment: Leverage financial crime data to drive decisions, improve reporting, and inform product and service design in a tech-forward setting.

  • Ownership and Autonomy: Lead meaningful projects, from control testing to remediation, and see your work directly influence cross-functional teams.

  • Exposure to Leadership: Work cross-functionally with Legal, Product, and senior stakeholders, influencing decisions that directly impact the business.

  • Growth & Development: Build deep expertise in financial crime compliance, gaining exposure to real-world application, control testing, and policy development.

  • Innovative Culture: Join a dynamic, high-performing team that values intellectual curiosity, data-led thinking, and proactive problem-solving, all within a business that's scaling globally and committed to continuous improvement.
