Head of Compliance & Regulatory Affairs

About Okoora

Okoora is building the infrastructure powering global cross-border financial operations across payments, FX, and multi-currency activity.

We work with banks, financial institutions, and global partners in regulated financial environments worldwide.

The Role

We’re looking for a high-ownership Head of Compliance & Regulatory Affairs to lead and build Okoora’s compliance and regulatory infrastructure.

This is not a traditional corporate compliance role.

We’re looking for a builder — someone who combines regulatory depth, operational execution, systems thinking, and an AI-first mindset.

You will work directly with regulators, banks, financial partners, auditors, and internal teams while helping redesign compliance operations through AI and automation.

What You’ll Do

Lead Okoora’s compliance and regulatory operations
Manage relationships with regulators, banks, auditors, and partners
Oversee KYC, KYB, AML, monitoring, investigations, and reporting
Lead audits, remediation processes, and regulatory reviews
Build scalable compliance workflows and operational processes
Drive AI and automation initiatives across compliance operations

What We’re Looking For

4–8 years of hands-on experience in Compliance, AML, Regulatory Affairs, or Financial Operations
Background in fintech, payments, EMI, banking, or other regulated financial environments
Experience working directly with regulators, banks, financial institutions, auditors, or payment providers
Strong operational experience across KYC, KYB, AML, monitoring, investigations, and regulatory reporting
High ownership mentality with a strong hands-on approach
Strong systems thinking and operational judgment
Daily practical use of AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, or similar as part of professional workflows
Experience building, improving, or working with AI-driven workflows, automation processes, or operational systems
Ability to think in scalable operational processes, automation logic, escalation flows, and human review structures

Who You Are

Smart, fast, and hands-on
Builder mentality
Comfortable in fast-moving environments
Curious and highly driven
Excited about building modern AI-powered operational infrastructure

Why Join

This is a rare opportunity to build and own a critical infrastructure layer inside a fast-growing global fintech company.

You’ll have direct impact on regulation, operations, scalability, and AI-driven transformation across the company.

Note: This is a full-time on-site role.
