**Requirements**:
**What it takes to succeed**:
You should have at least 5 years of experience in a role that has given you hands-on experience in dealing directly with compliance issues, with experience at a fintech or challenger bank being a plus. As part of your compliance role, you would have also gained in-depth experience managing a business's compliance with data protection.

You need to be an excellent communicator, personable, professional (financial clients still tend to be formal and conservative), and able to empathize with external counterparts and internal teams while keeping our business front of mind. You need to want to be involved in the business and work continually with other teams to solve problems.

Good grasp of UK -GDPR, GDPR, POPI, FCA, EBA, FIC, and other laws affecting the global finance industry.

Relevant postgraduate degree, with a legal degree being advantageous.

At Paymentology we value making a difference to the lives of the people who work for us and who live in the communities where we operate. You can look forward to working with a diverse, global team where Paymentologists at all levels play an important part in our global mission to advance the world through payments and make a difference on a global scale.
