Key Responsibilities:
- Ensure adherence to corporate policies, local legislation, and financial regulatory requirements.

- Support compliance risk management, particularly in relation to National Bank of Romania (NBR) guidelines.
- Design, implement, and refine compliance-related processes, policies, and controls.
- Maintain precise documentation and contribute to audits related to compliance and AML regulations.
- Provide advisory support on compliance matters, focusing on KYC/AML oversight.
- Conduct compliance training and facilitate internal awareness initiatives.
- Oversee compliance processes in alignment with regional leadership directives.

Candidate Profile:
- Proven experience in compliance oversight and regulatory control, distinct from operational AML/KYC handling.
- Background in 2nd Line of Defense functions, with a focus on oversight and governance.
- Strong understanding of Romanian and international financial compliance regulations.
- Ability to provide compliance guidance and support to internal teams.
Skills & Competencies:
- Analytical mindset to assess compliance frameworks and enhance control mechanisms.
- Experience in developing and refining compliance policies.
- Proficiency in risk management and compliance mitigation strategies.
- Strong stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to interact effectively across various levels of the organization.
- Excellent communication abilities for articulating compliance expectations clearly.
- Comfortable operating in a regulatory compliance role rather than frontline AML/KYC execution.
Requirements:
- At least 2 years of experience in compliance, regulatory oversight, or a related function.
- Fluency in Romanian and English (written and spoken).
- Solid knowledge of EU AML and GDPR regulations.
- Experience in financial reporting, audits, or compliance assessments is a plus.
- Detail-oriented, highly organized, and proactive in managing compliance tasks.
- Capable of working independently while aligning with broader compliance strategies.
