Dublin, Dublin City, Ireland TrueLayer Full time

Who we are:

At TrueLayer, we're building the future of payments. We're on a mission to take on outdated payment methods with a solution designed for today's online, on-demand economy. By removing friction at the heart of commerce — the payment — we're making it faster, safer, and smarter for everyone.

To date, we've raised $300 million from world-renowned investors including Stripe, Tiger Global, Addition, and Tencent. With offices in London, Milan, and Dublin, we're trusted by industry leaders like RyanAir and JustEat Takeaway. But this is just the beginning.

We're reimagining how the world pays, invests, shops, and saves. We're transforming payments for industries like e-Commerce and iGaming, redefining what's possible with technology and innovation. Now, we're looking for people who are ready to help us build a brand that changes an industry.

Description:

We are seeking an experienced financial crime and compliance professional to join our team on a maternity cover basis. The ideal candidate will be a well-rounded generalist with hands-on experience across multiple areas of financial crime prevention, including sanctions, transaction monitoring, and customer due diligence.

This role requires a strong compliance background and the ability to assess and manage financial crime risks, contributing to risk control self-assessments (RCSAs) and business-wide risk assessments (BWRAs). You should be comfortable handling both operational tasks and strategic risk management responsibilities.

What we expect from you as a Financial Crime Specialist:

  • Assist in the implementation and execution of sanctions testing programmes.
  • Review and update sanctions policies and procedures to ensure compliance with evolving regulatory requirements.
  • Conduct periodic country risk assessments to inform our risk-based approach to sanctions screening.
  • Perform quality control (QC) reviews of sanctions analysts' work to ensure accuracy and consistency.
  • Conduct QC reviews of customer due diligence processes and documentation.
  • Support the MLRO(s) with the annual Risk Control Self-Assessment (RCSA) process by:
    • Identifying and assessing financial crime risks.
    • Evaluating control effectiveness.
    • Documenting findings and recommendations.
    • Coordinating with stakeholders to implement improvements.
  • Assist in conducting and updating the Business-Wide Risk Assessment (BWRA).
  • Support banking partner relationships by responding to compliance-related queries.
  • Work with the Head of Financial Crime to oversee systems and controls by:
    • Identifying and addressing process inefficiencies and risk areas.
    • Proposing and implementing process improvements.
    • Supporting the implementation of new financial crime tools and systems.
  • Maintain and update financial crime policies and procedures.
  • Provide compliance support for new products and services.
  • Assist in transaction monitoring quality control (QC) processes.
About you:
  • Proven experience in financial crime compliance, including sanctions, transaction monitoring, and due diligence.
  • Strong knowledge of sanctions regimes and screening methodologies.
  • Experience conducting QC reviews for due diligence and sanctions controls.
  • Background in risk assessment and control testing.
  • Experience in developing and implementing financial crime tools and systems.
  • Experience in vendor selection and system implementation is desirable.
  • Strong analytical and quality assurance skills.
  • Ability to engage and collaborate effectively with multiple stakeholders.

We would be particularly excited if you have:
  • Experience managing transaction monitoring for high-risk sectors such as eCommerce, iGaming, or gambling.
  • Knowledge of UK and EU AML/CTF regulations (international exposure is a plus).
  • A recognised Financial Crime qualification.
  • Experience in finance, fintech, or technology sectors.
  • Exposure to working in a high-growth startup environment.

Don't meet all the requirements?

Multiple studies have shown that women and people from underrepresented backgrounds may hesitate to apply for roles unless they meet every requirement. At TrueLayer, we value diverse perspectives and encourage applicants who meet the core criteria to apply, even if they don't tick every box.

Benefits:
  • Flexible hours and hybrid working - we offer a hybrid approach to work of 3 days per week remote working and 2 days per week in our new offices in London, Milan, and Dublin - This is more flexible in our Dublin office due to our WeWork space.
  • Need to collect the kids from childcare? Love a workout in the gym first thing? No worries, we trust you to do your best work within our hybrid framework.
  • A one-off remote-working budget to help you set up your home office.
  • 24 days holiday as standard with flexible bank holidays, so you can take those days whenever you like.
  • 12 fully-paid wellbeing days a year and your birthday off (on top of the holiday allowance).
  • 2 volunteering days to support causes important to you.
  • Generous parental leave, above and beyond statutory requirements and with no minimum tenure.
  • Competitive pension contribution at 4% & 4%.
  • Private health insurance from the day you start.
  • Membership of mental wellbeing platform Spill and premium Calm subscription.
  • A €1000 budget to spend on learning & development each year.
  • Free lunch from Just Eat Pay (If you choose to work from the office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays)

At TrueLayer, we don't just do inclusion and diversity. We embrace people that have different opinions, perspectives, and personalities. Because we believe that by seeing the world from all sorts of angles, we can make life better for all the people who live in it. We strongly encourage applications from underrepresented groups (e.g. people of colour, the LGBTQ+ community, people with disabilities, neurodivergent people, parents, carers, and people from all socio-economic backgrounds). If you'd like to discuss alternative working patterns, please let us know.

We will always aim to make appropriate adjustments to ensure we are fully inclusive to people with different needs during our interview process. So if you need us to make any adjustments to suit your individual needs please let us know - we'll be happy to support you.
