You should be comfortable navigating external requirements stemming from applicable regulations to Tide’s business activity, partner requirements of Tide’s banking and card partners, as well as internal requirements.

Work tasks and responsibilities relating to the role: 

  • Assist in interpreting financial crime regulations and advising on Tide’s compliance approach for the  EU (France) and UK. 
  • Contribute to the drafting and maintenance of KYC policies and procedures. 
  • Review and assess current processes for policy adherence and collaborate on necessary changes. 4. Support the KYC Product function to ensure regulatory and policy compliance in new product development for the UK and EU markets. 
  • Work closely with the 2nd Line of Defence to agree on policy changes and constructively challenge recommendations.
  • Assist in audits and oversight from banking partners.
  • Collaborate with 2LoD Compliance to implement new regulatory requirements within KYC for the UK and EU.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR 

  • In-depth knowledge of financial crime regulations and ability to stay updated with regulatory changes in the EU (France) and UK . Familiarity with 4AMLD-6AMLD.
  • At least three years of experience in a 1st Line of Defence function, Risk & Compliance, or Internal Audit.
  • Pragmatic approach to balancing regulatory requirements with customer service and commercial objectives.
  • Ability to draft clear, concise, and easy-to-understand policies and procedures.
  • Experience in challenging senior stakeholders and maintaining robustness under challenge.
  • Background in business banking within an ACPR, AMF or CSSF regulated environment, with experience in FinTech being a plus.
  • Enthusiastic about delivering excellent service to members while managing risks effectively.
  • Working knowledge of French is a great advantage.
  • Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, both verbal and written, with the ability to engage effectively with senior stakeholders, including external ones, and to articulate regulatory risks and trade-offs in processes and procedures.
  • Analytical mindset with a strong focus on operational efficiency, data-driven decision-making.
  • Proactive, resilient, and capable of managing multiple projects and stakeholders at once.
  • Comfortable in an ambiguous, fast-paced environment and able to adapt to new challenges quickly.
  • Detail-oriented, process-driven, and always looking for ways to improve systems and procedures.
  • Collaborative team player with a customer-first mindset.

WHAT YOU WILL GET IN RETURN 

  • 25 days paid annual leave 
  • 3 paid days off for volunteering or L&D activities
  • Extended maternity and paternity leave covered by the company
  • Personal L&D budget 
  • Additional health & dental insurance
  • Mental wellbeing platform 
  • Fully covered Multisports card
