## Job description

About us:

BVNK is the stablecoin-powered financial stack for enterprises. We're now part of Mastercard, and together we're building a network for every form of money – one that delivers more reach, more capability and more choice.

We enable businesses to build financial products, unlock new markets, and move money in seconds across 130+ countries, with 40+ licenses for fiat and digital assets globally. Processing billions annually, we empower enterprises worldwide to send, receive, convert, and settle stablecoins and fiat seamlessly through a single integration.

Our mission is to accelerate global money movement, and we're assembling a world-class team to make it happen.

Trusted by industry leaders like Corpay, Worldpay, Deel, and Flywire, we deliver the infrastructure that makes new forms of money usable within the financial systems customers already rely on today.

By combining Mastercard's global payment reach and trusted networks with BVNK's stablecoin infrastructure, we're building the trusted operating layer for the evolution of money movement, helping customers participate in emerging digital networks without having to rebuild their businesses around every new innovation.

We're a diverse team spread across EMEA, North America, and APAC, with a shared belief that stablecoins are the new infrastructure layer for financial services, and that BVNK is at the forefront of this shift.

We're incredibly honored to have been recognized by:

- CNBC World's Top Fintech Companies (2026)
- FXC Intelligence Top 100 Cross-border Payment Companies (2026)
- Newsweek's The Top 100 Global Most Loved Workplaces (three years running, most recently 2025)
- LinkedIn as one of the Top 20 Startups in the UK (2025)

About this role in the team:

We are seeking a UK Compliance Manager to oversee regulatory compliance for our UK Electronic Money Institution.

This role sits within our 2nd line of defence, maintaining the compliance monitoring framework, firm-wide policies, overseeing safeguarding and conduct rules, and reviewing financial promotions. Your primary focus will be the UK, but, as part of a global team, you will get the opportunity to support other regions and company-wide initiatives.

Key Areas of Responsibility:

- UK Regulatory Compliance Framework: Operationalise and maintain the firm’s compliance policies and procedures in strict alignment with the applicable regulators and the FCA Handbook (SYSC, SUP, CASS/Safeguarding, DISP, and Consumer Duty).
- Horizon Scanning: Track evolving UK regulatory developments.
- Senior Management & Board Reporting: Prepare regulatory compliance reporting packs, KPIs, and compliance monitoring outcomes for the Head of Compliance, Executive Risk Committees, and Board of Directors.
- FCA Regulatory Engagement: Assist with regulatory notifications and periodic regulatory returns.
- Operational Resilience: Collaborate with IT and Operations to ensure compliance with operational resilience frameworks, business continuity plans (BCP), and third-party outsourcing requirements.
- Consumer Duty: Monitor product design, customer journeys, price and value assessments, and customer support channels to ensure alignment with FCA Consumer Duty outcomes.
- Financial Promotions Sign-Off: Serve as the designated compliance approver for all marketing materials, advertising campaigns, website content, and social media promotions targeting UK retail customers.
- Complaints Handling Oversight: Oversee the 2nd Line review of customer complaints handling processes, ensuring compliance with DISP rules and root-cause analysis reporting to prevent systemic issues.
- Regulatory Advisory: Act as the primary regulatory compliance Subject Matter Expert (SME) for product, engineering, and commercial teams launching new payment features, APIs, stablecoin capabilities, or digital asset services in the UK.
- New license applications: Support any future application for the UK’s new cryptoasset regulatory regime.

What we need from you:

- Experience: Relevant experience in a similar compliance role within financial services (preferably in a  fintech or crypto firm)
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Law, Finance, Business or a related discipline
- Professional Qualifications: Preferably at least one recognised professional compliance qualification (e.g. ICA)

What you can expect from us:

- Fair and competitive salary at every stage of your growth
- Flexible working hours, with hybrid working at its heart
- A culture built on passionate, growth-minded people
- A flexible approach to holiday
- Opportunities to travel to our offices around the world
- An open and creative environment where you can help us define the future of BVNK, its culture, and its opportunity sets

At BVNK, we are focused on building a diverse and inclusive team. While you may not meet all of our requirements, we’d encourage you to apply if you meet the majority of our expectations. You may be a great fit for this role or another role in our team.
