Aspora - Global Regulatory Compliance Lead

• You don’t see regulation as a reason to say no, or as something to work around. You know a hard boundary from a choice, and your depth goes well beyond AML or licensing paperwork. • You’ve scaled fintechs before. You’ve helped a payments, remittance or e-money business grow, in house or as a consultant, and can show what you changed. • You turn expertise into execution. You’ve translated payments and e-money requirements into customer journeys, controls and processes, with fewer failures and less friction to show for it. • You get permissions over the line. You’ve owned licensing or variation work and regulatory reporting, and kept applications, governance and operating reality consistent throughout. • You speak regulator fluently, and you’ve been tested. You’ve handled supervisory questions, inspections or a hard remediation, made sound calls under pressure and stayed until it was fixed. • You’ve set standards at HQ level. You’ve built shared standards across markets and distributed teams, and you know where local law needs a difference and where duplication is habit. • You’ve seen controls work in practice. You go deep on UK payments, e-money, safeguarding and customer protection, and you’ve followed gaps through to a verified fix. • You’re on the way up. Your career shows quick progression, growing ownership and real depth. We’ll judge the work you’ve done, not the title you hold. • Most importantly, you want to build a global regulatory framework from the ground up and see it work in practice. • WHAT YOU’LL OWN • This is a role with a genuinely global mandate, with UK payments and e-money regulation as the depth anchor. • Own licensing and regulator engagement. Lead permissions, perimeter analysis, applications and variations, with accurate filings and a clear register of every commitment we make. • Shape products before they launch. Assess launches and changes against UK PSRs, EMRs and FCA rules, and turn horizon scanning into owned implementation plans. • Hold safeguarding to a high standard. Challenge the design, test the evidence and keep us audit ready, partnering with Finance on reconciliations and governance. • Make customer protection measurable. Drive Consumer Duty, fair value, vulnerable customers, complaints and partner oversight, using outcome data to spot harm and assign action. • Own the regulatory view on resilience. Partner with operations and technology owners on service mapping, testing and outsourcing oversight, and own the incident reporting decisions. • Build one global framework. Set shared standards across markets, add local differences only where law requires them, and bring in local expertise where it’s needed. • What you build here will shape where Aspora can launch, how quickly we get there, and how much regulators trust us along the way.
