We lead by example, helping Yoco to achieve its objectives and mature as a best-in-class Fintech business.

- ** 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.
