**Role Summary**
As Compliance & AML/KYC Lead, you will own the design, implementation, and ongoing operation of NextPos' compliance and financial crime prevention controls. You will build practical, regulator-ready processes across AML/CFT, KYC, KYB, suspicious activity monitoring, merchant onboarding, and internal compliance policies.
This is a key role for our long-term operational readiness.
**Key Responsibilities**
- Conduct the ML/TF risk assessment covering customer base, products, distribution channels, and geographic exposure
- Build and maintain the AML/CFT, KYC, and KYB framework
- Author the AML/CFT compliance manual
- Define merchant onboarding, customer due diligence, and ongoing monitoring standards
- Design suspicious activity detection, escalation, and reporting procedures
- Develop sanctions, PEP, and adverse media screening processes
- Establish periodic and permanent internal control procedures
- Draft and maintain compliance policies, procedures, and control documentation
- Establish incident reporting and notification procedures
- Work closely with management on governance, compliance reporting, and regulatory communication

- Background in banking, payments, fintech, EMI, PI, or another regulated financial services environment
- Demonstrable AML/CFT expertise sufficient for a named compliance role
- Experience conducting ML/TF risk assessments and authoring AML compliance manuals
- Experience drafting policies, procedures, and operational compliance frameworks
- Ability to work hands-on in a startup environment — building, not just advising

**Preferred Qualifications**

- Experience with payment institutions, EMIs, PSPs, or open banking providers
- Familiarity with Albanian regulatory expectations or EU/PSD2-oriented payment environments
