About Venn
Venn is the fastest-growing B2B fintech in Canada.
We're on a mission to transform business banking for Canadian entrepreneurs and are looking to hire A-players interested in disrupting traditional banking practices. As the ONLY digital banking platform in Canada offering a truly modern solution, we have seen accelerated growth—scaling to support more than 5,000 Canadian businesses in under two years. Business owners are tired of the big banks’ monopoly and are looking for modern tools that replace the legacy systems that have been their only option for over 100 years.
We've raised over $26.5M from Tier 1 investors such as Gradient, Left Lane Capital, Intact, and XYZ Venture Capital. Interested in redefining the future of banking in Canada? Look no further.
What You'll Be Doing
- Develop, implement, and monitor internal compliance policies and procedures.
- Stay up to date with relevant regulations and ensure company-wide adherence.
- Conduct internal audits and risk assessments.
- Lead regulatory reporting and liaise with authorities as needed.
- Train staff on compliance and regulatory best practices.
- Support due diligence and third-party vendor reviews.
- Investigate and resolve compliance issues or breaches.
What we’re looking for:
- 6+ years in compliance, AML, or risk.
- Strong knowledge of PCMLTFA, RPAA, and other regulatory frameworks.
- Excellent analytical, communication, and project management skills.
- Experience in a high-growth fintech is a strong asset.
- Certified compliance designation (e.g., CAMS) is a plus.
Bonus Points
- Experience acting as a CAMLO.
- Knowledge with SQL.
Perks & Benefits
- Competitive base salary with an uncapped commission structure, allowing you to directly benefit from your success.
- Large equity ownership, among the most generous in the market, aligning your success with the company’s growth.
- Comprehensive coverage of medical, dental, and vision insurance.
