We are seeking a hands-on, experienced Senior Compliance Operations Analyst to join the Infrastructure & Modernization team – the team that owns Rapyd’s global projects and the automation of compliance operations. In this pivotal role, you will be the operational counterpart for Compliance, Risk, auditors and regulators: you will support audit and regulatory requests end-to-end, scheme registrations and reporting, lead cross-company projects and build the AI-based tools that make all of this faster. This is a role for someone who has sat on either side of an audit — facing external or regulatory auditors, or performing internal audit — who writes clearly, works well with people across the company, and wants to be part of a team rather than a lone expert.

Responsibilities

• Lead cross-company compliance operations projects from requirements to hand-over: migrations and new entities, merchant cleanup and offboarding waves, new onboarding flows and policy changes, working with Compliance, Risk, Data, R&D, Finance, Legal and the business.
• Design, build and run AI agents and automations for Compliance Operations: define the flow with Product / R&D, test and QA outputs, draw conclusions, feed improvements back, and measure the hours saved.
• Represent Compliance Operations towards Compliance leadership, auditors, regulators and card schemes on operational matters, and make recommendations on process and control changes.
• Improve processes that touch Compliance Operations in other teams (Sales / RevOps ticket flows and SLAs, onboarding and TM hand-offs, partner communications) through roundtables, training and procedures.
• Support compliance with audit and regulatory examinations end-to-end: scope the request with Compliance, coordinate data pulls with Data, build evidence packs and data sets and drive remediation to closure.
• Monitor performance through KPI dashboards (SLAs, backlog, volumes) and drive continuous improvement based on the data.
• Design, build and run AI agents and automations for Compliance Operations.
• A data-driven approach, utilizing insights to inform decisions and drive continuous improvement. Monitor progress and measure performance through KPI dashboards , embrace ongoing improvements framework and support cross-company processes and ad-hoc tasks,
• Promote a culture of proactivity, efficiency, innovation and continuous learning within the risk and compliance functions.
  
  

• Bachelor’s degree from a recognised educational/academic institution.
• 8+ years of experience in Compliance, Compliance Operations, Risk Operations, internal audit, Regulatory Compliance or FinCrime prevention with a strong preference for experience within a global Fintech or other regulated financial company, including at least 3 years in a role with ownership of audits, regulatory deliverables or cross-functional programs.
• Hands-on audit experience: you have either worked directly with external / regulatory auditors (preparing evidence, data sets and written responses) or performed internal audit yourself.
• 5+ years of experience in creating compliance processes and flows, and in leading cross-functional projects to completion.
• Proven track record of successfully modernizing, enhancing, automating and documenting complex processes and workflows; hands-on experience with AI / LLM tools (e.g., Claude) and with data tools (Excel / Looker) is a strong advantage.
• Comfortable translating operational needs into clear requirements and priorities for technical partners – experience working alongside Product, Data or R&D teams to define, test and roll out process changes or tools is an advantage.
• Familiarity with card-scheme rules and programs (Visa / Mastercard registrations, high-risk merchant programs) – An advantage.
• Written and verbal English communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex concepts clearly to diverse audiences – including formal written correspondence with auditors and card schemes, and drafting procedures and policies – Must have.
• A team player who is looking to be part of a team, share knowledge and back up colleagues – not a solo contributor.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and deliver results in a fast-paced environment, including several parallel projects with hard regulatory and scheme deadlines.
• Demonstrated creativity and self-confidence in problem-solving and proposing innovative solutions. Independency with a “can-do” approach and a hunger to continuously improve and move forward.
• Data-oriented mindset with a strong analytical aptitude and tech-savvy.
