Compliance Operations Manager, Money Laundering Reporting Officer UK

Tesla is accelerating the world's transition to sustainable energy. Revolutionary strategies and products were developed within a few years and successfully launched on a large scale. This is only possible through extraordinary speed, innovation and efficiency. 

One of the core challenges of the European in-house leasing and financing entities (“captives”) is the management of the governance, risk, compliance & AML functions.  Our EMEA Financial Services team is hiring a Compliance Operations Manager EMEA to join their team.

The focus of the role will be to ensure oversight, guidance and putting into practice policies for other compliance matters such as Consumer Duty, complaints, contract updates, fraud, training programs, regulatory reporting, amongst other topics. Extensive knowledge about all topics not required, but the ability and willingness to research and collaborate with internal and external teams to enhance knowledge is a must and it is expected that the Compliance Operations Manager is embedded into the day-to-day operations of the teams and processes they support.

As new topics arise, whether through operational changes or changes to the regulatory environment, the Compliance Operations Manager will be expected to scope out projects, create plans of actions for operational teams as well as requirements for our digital product teams and coordinate requests from other functions for input. They will take ownership of projects in full, to ensure that all requirements are fully scoped and met.

In addition, this role serves as the Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO) for Tesla Financial Services Limited. As the MLRO, they will play an important role in ensuring the company’s regulatory compliance, especially with regards to the anti-money laundering (AML) setup. The focus will be on Tesla’s finance company in the UK and providing support to Germany and any future EMEA markets.
