**About the Legal, Risk & Finance team**:

We like to approach things from first principles but also be pragmatic and practical to get things done. We are focused on enabling the business and balancing autonomy and control through business partnership. We lead by example, helping Yoco to achieve its objectives and mature as a best-in-class Fintech business.

**About the role**:

- ** Regulatory Engagement & Influence**: Actively engage with regulatory bodies to influence policies and regulations that align with Yoco's strategic objectives, particularly in the payments space.

- ** Licensing & Accreditation**: Obtain and maintain all necessary licenses and accreditations, both general and specific to payments.
- ** Industry Representation**: Represent Yoco in regulatory and industry forums, such as PASA PCHs, to advocate for beneficial payment regulations and practices.
- ** Stakeholder Relations**: Establish and maintain robust relationships with regulators, payment networks, and industry bodies.
- ** Regulatory Intelligence & Research**: Continuously monitor general and payments-specific regulatory landscapes, interpreting and advising on changes and their impact on Yoco.
- ** Policy & Procedure Development**: Create, implement, and maintain unified policies and procedures that cover all aspects of regulatory compliance, including payments.
- ** Cross-Collaboration**: Act as a centralised advisor for regulatory issues across the Yoco business, ensuring a coherent approach to payment compliance.
- ** Team Development & Training**: Over time, build, manage, and train a high-performance regulatory affairs team equipped to handle general and payments-specific compliance.
- ** Reporting & Audits**: Prepare comprehensive reports on regulatory compliance and oversee internal and external regulatory audits.

**About you**:

- Bachelor’s degree in Law, Business, Finance, or a related field; a postgraduate degree is preferred.
- Professional certification in Regulatory Compliance, specialising in payments, is advantageous.
- Minimum of 15 years experience in regulatory affairs in South Africa, with at least 7 years in a senior role.
- Comprehensive understanding of both the general regulatory landscape and payment-specific regulations.
- Exceptional analytical, interpersonal, and communication skills.
- High level of integrity and professionalism.

**The People We’re Looking For**:
We’re looking for people who want to grow. And as Yoco grows, we hope they stay with us long-term.

Building things that make society more equal is a daunting task. And it’s not for everyone. We never stop pushing, breaking things to rebuild, and challenging ourselves and our teammates. We start over, we constantly evolve — and we do it fast. We know it’s just the right kind of meaningful madness for our visionary human.

So, who are you? You’re someone who resonates with our mission and also our values when it comes to how we work.

You’re a curious problem-solver with a passion for doing good. You’re bright and grounded, experimental and bold. You play open cards and get stuck in. You’re not afraid of change. You close the loop.

At Yoco, we love to laugh, cherish each other’s quirks, and be authentic.
