|R-0003904
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
We are looking for a Financial Crime Compliance Officer to help ensure we mitigate financial crime risks at every level of the business. You will hit the ground running on day one, and so we are looking for self-starters who relish that kind of challenge and pace in helping the business.
In working with our DMLRO, you will play a key role by helping to embed the anti-money laundering and anti-bribery and corruption agenda within Dojo. With direction, you will take a consultative approach and work closely with every business team to implement and manage innovative and practical AML and ABC approaches.
Importantly, this role will have a cross-functional reach within the Compliance Team. While focusing on financial crime prevention, we are also looking for someone with compliance monitoring, testing and assurance experience to complement our existing team.
What you will do...
Work with, and escalate to, the DMLRO on a wide range of financial crime issues affecting our business
Be the go-to person for KYC, CDD, AML and ABC issues, helping to identify any potential risks within the business and report any findings to the DMLRO/MLRO, where necessary
Engage in financial crime-related investigations and project work, where required
Work across the Compliance Team on policy development and compliance assurance
Assist with annual risk assessments and incorporate conclusions into current policies
Assist with monitoring, testing and reporting on the effectiveness of the AML and ABC programmes and day-to-day operation of AML and ABC policies, procedures and controls
Constantly drive for improvement in efficiency and risk management
Champion and drive adoption of industry-standard certifications, where appropriate
What you will bring...
Qualified mid-level 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 working with an e-money and payments/Open Banking business, ideally one focused on merchant acquiring, and an enthusiasm for innovation in technology
A team player with great people skills and a good sense of humour who can effectively and efficiently collaborate, building relationships with colleagues throughout the business
An analytical mind able to “see” the complexities of procedures and regulations, but then simplify issues for others
A pragmatic, commercial and creative approach to problem-solving and decision-making
Highest standards of ethics and professional integrity
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.
