You'll take ownership of our Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Counter-Terrorist Financing (CTF), sanctions and wider financial crime compliance framework, acting as our go-to expert on all things AML.

From overseeing complex investigations and making important risk-based decisions to collaborating with senior stakeholders and engaging with regulators, you'll help shape a strong compliance culture across the business.

Responsibilities:

• Own and oversee Casumo's AML/CTF and financial crime compliance framework, ensuring policies, procedures and controls remain effective and aligned with regulatory requirements.

• Act as the company's designated MLRO and primary escalation point for suspicious activity, money laundering, terrorist financing and other financial crime concerns.

• Oversee complex AML investigations and high-risk customer cases, including Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD), Source of Funds (SoF) and Source of Wealth (SoW) assessments.

• Lead AML risk assessments, oversee customer risk methodologies and continuously improve KYC, due diligence, screening and transaction monitoring processes.

• Act as a key contact for regulators and relevant authorities, supporting regulatory enquiries, audits, inspections and compliance reviews.

• Monitor regulatory developments, identify emerging financial crime risks and ensure necessary changes are reflected in the company's AML framework.

• Provide independent advice, reporting and constructive challenge to senior management, escalating material risks and control weaknesses when needed.

• Collaborate with teams across Compliance, Fraud, Payments, Customer Operations, Responsible Gaming and other business areas to strengthen financial crime prevention.

• Promote AML awareness through training, guidance and a strong culture of risk identification and escalation.

Requirements:

• Significant experience in AML, financial crime prevention or regulatory compliance, ideally within the online gaming industry.

• Previous experience engaging with the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC), including regulatory audits, reviews or information requests.

• Proven experience handling complex AML investigations, high-risk customer cases and regulatory reporting.

• Strong knowledge of KYC, CDD, EDD, Source of Funds, Source of Wealth, sanctions, PEP screening and transaction monitoring.

• Experience developing or overseeing AML frameworks, risk assessments, policies and internal controls.

• Confidence working with regulators, Financial Intelligence Units and other relevant authorities.

• Excellent analytical skills, sound regulatory judgement and the ability to make and communicate difficult risk-based decisions.

• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with the confidence to challenge decisions and influence senior colleagues.

• A proactive, commercially aware mindset, combined with high levels of integrity, independence and discretion.

• Ability to meet applicable regulatory suitability and approval requirements. A relevant AML qualification, such as ICA or ACAMS, would be a strong advantage.
