## What's Exciting About This Role

Verifone is seeking a detail‑oriented Compliance Officer/MLRO to join our global Compliance team. In this role, you will support key second‑line activities across the Verifone Group, including regulatory reporting, audit management, third‑party due diligence, training development, and compliance monitoring.

We are looking for someone who blends regulatory expertise, operational discipline, and technology‑forward thinking. Hands‑on experience with AI tools, particularly Anthropic Claud is highly valued, as you will help build compliance dashboards, automate data‑collection workflows, and generate structured compliance artefacts at scale.

As part of the global second‑line function, you will work closely with regulators, auditors, external partners, and internal stakeholders across EMEA, the Americas, and APAC.

Key Responsibilities:

- Be the MLRO for the Verifone UK entity.
- Within the Compliance team, be the point of contact for regulators
- Support the Compliance team with the collecting and filing for the Regulatory compliance reporting of the licensed entities
- Educate and coach staff within the Verifone Group on best practices around compliance
- Assist in the design of internal mandatory compliance training and liaise with relevant training/first line teams for execution
- Coordinate compliance related reviews/audits from third parties
- Own the end-to-end management of incoming and outgoing compliance questionnaires (DDQs, client and counterparty due-diligence requests, ESG surveys and regulatory information requests), maintaining a master response library to ensure consistent and timely completion of recurring questionnaire types
- Design, develop and maintain compliance training decks and supporting materials — translating complex regulatory requirements into clear, audience-appropriate content for staff across the Verifone Group, and tracking completion rates against mandatory training obligations
- Build and maintain compliance reporting dashboards using Anthropic Claude and other AI-enabled tools, automating data-collection workflows, generating structured compliance artefacts and producing management information for senior stakeholders and the Audit & Risk Committee

## Skills and Experience We're Looking For

- 5-8 years of demonstrable experience in a compliance, regulatory reporting or second-line risk role, ideally within the payments, fintech or financial services sector
- Demonstrated experience supporting regulatory reporting cycles and managing audit and examination processes end-to-end, including evidence collation, finding remediation and regulator liaison
- Hands-on experience using Anthropic Claude or an equivalent AI large-language-model tool to build compliance reporting dashboards, automate recurring data workflows and generate structured compliance artefacts
- Proven track record managing third-party due-diligence questionnaires (DDQs) and vendor compliance programmes, including the development and maintenance of a master response library
- Experience designing and delivering compliance training decks and awareness materials for diverse business audiences, with the ability to translate regulatory requirements into plain-language guidance
- Working knowledge of AML/CTF frameworks, financial crime typologies and sanctions screening obligations (OFAC, EU Consolidated List, UK HMT/OFSI)
- Familiarity with the regulatory frameworks applicable to a global payments business (e.g. PSD2/PSD3, AMLD5/6)
- Proficiency with Microsoft 365 (Excel, PowerPoint, Word, SharePoint)
- Highly analytical with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple concurrent deadlines without sacrificing quality of work
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively, with a proactive and solutions-oriented mindset
- Bachelor’s degree in Law, Business, Finance or a related discipline is a strong plus
- ICA Certificate/Diploma in Compliance, CAMS, CRCM or equivalent professional certification is a strong plus
