We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Compliance Officer to join our team in Israel. In this role, you will play a pivotal part in ensuring our organization complies with applicable Israeli and global financial regulations, internal policies, and industry standards, particularly in relation to transaction monitoring, AML, and financial crime prevention.

While this position does not involve direct team management, it requires a senior-level professional who can lead complex compliance activities, drive continuous program improvements, and collaborate cross-functionally across multiple jurisdictions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain local and global compliance policies and procedures in line with regulatory requirements (including Bank of Israel, ISA, IMPA, and others as applicable).
• Lead the review, investigation and reporting of suspicious transactions, extracting risk typologies and recommending improvements to transaction monitoring frameworks and alert logic.
• Serve as a subject matter expert on AML/CTF compliance, advising on risk assessments, mitigation strategies, and onboarding/offboarding decisions.
• Act as a compliance point of contact for Israeli authorities (e.g., Israeli Money Laundering and Terror Financing Prohibition Authority) while managing requirements from foreign regulators and partners.
• Conduct ongoing compliance training and awareness sessions to ensure alignment across business, risk, and operational teams in Israel and globally.
• Stay abreast of evolving Israeli and international regulatory developments, translating them into actionable compliance initiatives.
• Support internal and external audits, prepare audit responses, and ensure timely resolution of findings.
• Generate and present compliance dashboards and reports to senior management and regulatory stakeholders, including trend analysis and risk insights.
• Foster a culture of integrity, accountability, and proactive compliance within the company.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Law, Business, Finance, or a related field. A legal or regulatory background from the Israeli financial industry is a plus.
• 7+ years of experience in compliance roles within payments, fintech, banking, or financial services, including at least 3 years involved in local compliance or AML roles. Global experience in compliance or AML roles will be advantageous.
• Demonstrated experience in Israeli compliance frameworks, including knowledge of AML regulations, data protection laws, and licensing obligations under Israeli law.
• Excellent communication skills in English (required) and Hebrew (required).
• Analytical, structured thinker with strong attention to detail and project ownership mindset.
• Experience working with regulators, IMPA and banking partners across IL and global jurisdictions is highly desirable.
