Head of AML

What You’ll Do

You'll own the AML/BSA program — drafting and maintaining policies that actually govern how the business operates, not just documents that live in a folder. You'll develop risk assessments for BSA/AML and OFAC/Sanctions, keep policies current as programs and regulations evolve, and make sure the right teams know when things change.

On the banking partner side, you'll run the monthly compliance reporting cycle, serve as the primary compliance contact across all partners, lead partner meetings, and stay ahead of issues before they become escalations. You'll maintain a clear tracker of obligations and open items across every relationship.

Internally, you'll work closely with KYC/TM Ops, Product, and Engineering — not just to support their work, but to improve the systems and processes underneath it. You'll also be a core contributor to compliance buildout for Nova and other products, which means you'll have real input on something new rather than inheriting what someone else built.

What we’re looking for

8–10 years of AML/BSA compliance experience at a fintech, broker-dealer, bank, payment processor, or MSB.

Direct experience managing banking partner or sponsor bank relationships.

Hands-on familiarity with transaction monitoring, UARs/SARs, and CDD/EDD.

Strong working knowledge of FinCEN regulations, BSA, and OFAC. Experience working within Broker Dealer context helpful.

Experience with platforms like Alloy, Unit21, or Persona.

Clear written communication — the kind that makes compliance reports useful, not just complete.

And the organizational rigor to manage multiple concurrent deadlines without things slipping.
