Dojo from the get-go

First launch was back in 2009. So with over 15 years in the payments industry, we’ve got a story to tell. 

Dojo is built to soothe customer and consumer pain points across the world for over 140,000 customers. 

And today, there’s over 1000 of us in multiple locations across the UK, Ireland, Spain, and Italy.

Our mission is to empower businesses to thrive in the experience economy by creating the tools and tech that turn transactions into meaningful relationships. 

We do that through sophisticated EPOS payments integrations, fast transactions, hospitality bookings, and a strong consumer restaurant app.

 

The Role...

As Deputy Money Laundering Reporting Officer (DMLRO), you’ll play a key role in protecting Dojo from financial crime. Reporting to the MLRO, you’ll help ensure we meet our legal and regulatory obligations, including POCA, the Money Laundering Regulations, and other UK and international requirements. You’ll support the development of our financial crime policies and procedures, oversee the effectiveness of our controls, and ensure timely reporting of suspicious activity to the relevant authorities. You’ll also help drive a strong compliance culture across the business.

This is a great opportunity for an experienced financial crime specialist looking to take the next step in a fast-moving, high-growth environment.

What you’ll do...

  • Support the MLRO in managing Dojo’s financial crime programme, ensuring compliance with UK and international regulations.
  • Provide risk-based advice on financial crime matters to first line risk and operations teams, as Dojo’s subject matter expert on financial crime regulations.
  • Contribute to the development and regular review of AML policies and procedures, ensuring they remain up to date.
  • Assist with monitoring, investigating, and reporting suspicious activity, including submitting SARs to the NCA.
  • Conduct reviews on Dojo’s exposure to money laundering and terrorist financing risk on a periodic basis.
  • Help deliver AML training across all critical business functions, ensuring all employees understand their responsibilities.
  • Assist with regulatory reporting to the FCA, NCA, and other authorities as needed.
  • Keep up to date with regulatory changes and industry best practices.
  • Work closely with teams across Risk, Operations, and Compliance to strengthen Dojo’s financial crime framework.
  • Provide compliance advice on new products, services, and markets.
  • Prepare detailed reports and MI on the effectiveness of Dojo’s financial crime programme for senior stakeholders in the business. 
  • Assume the responsibilities of the MLRO in their absence.

What you’ll bring...

  • Qualified senior compliance specialist with strong experience in the AML, ABC, and financial services space.
  • Depth and breadth of experience in financial crime risk and operational compliance, with monitoring, testing, and assurance experience a plus.
  • Interest in e-money and payments, ideally within merchant acquiring.
  • A collaborative mindset, with the ability to build strong relationships and communicate effectively at all levels.
  • Analytical mindset—able to simplify complex regulations and communicate them clearly.
  • A pragmatic, commercial, and solutions-focused approach to problem-solving.
  • High ethical standards and professional integrity.
  • A relevant compliance or financial crime qualification (e.g., ICA Diploma in AML, ACAMS certification) is preferred.

Dojo home and away

We believe our best work happens when we collaborate in-person. These “together days” foster communication, drive innovation and spark our brightest ideas.

That's why we have an office-first culture. This means working from the office 4+ days per week.

With offices across Europe, we know a thing or two about staying dynamic. Need deep focus? Head to a quiet zone. Big ideas? Collaboration spaces have you covered. Just here for a catch-up? Our social hubs make it easy. Do work that counts, in spaces made for you.


Question: what’s curious, relentless, and customer obsessed?

If you’re keen to know the answer, you’re a third of the way to meeting our Dojo values.

If the following speak to you, let’s talk:

  • You’re curious. You have a real desire to learn and create.
  • You’re relentless. You keep going even when it’s easier not to. 
  • You’re customer-obsessed. You know how important customers are to what you do.

From local bakeries to well-known eateries, Dojo payments serve over 140,000 places across the UK.

If you care about your work, you’re curious, and you think customer-first, you have a place at Dojo.
