Klarna, briefly
At Klarna, we're building an everyday finance network, helping over 120 million consumers across 26 countries save time and money, and worry less about their finances. Working here means taking on problems most companies never get to solve, and being hands-on enough that the interesting part of the work lands with you, not someone else - you'll build with AI, not watch it happen. This is the stretch zone. Come find out what you're capable of.
About the role
Before a new Klarna product or feature reaches shoppers in the UK, someone has to be sure it meets UK regulation. This position sits in the Compliance team in our London office.

This position is open at Specialist or Manager level, and where we land depends on your experience. A candidate with 2-3 years in financial services would likely join as a Specialist, and one with closer to 6 years would likely join as a Manager.
