Job description

Compliance Analyst

Fuse Finance Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Fuse is on a mission to bring real time cross border payments to the Middle East, helping global businesses to access the region without changing their payment stack. We believe MENA presents one of the most exciting payment opportunities in the world today - as one of the most financially isolated but fastest growing markets globally, the region is evolving fast and Fuse is providing the infrastructure required to keep up.

To date we've raised over $8.6mn to help us radically change how money moves in and out of MENA, from some of the best investors including Northzone, Flourish, Raba, and Alter Global. With our head office in Dubai, we're trusted by payment companies and enterprise businesses all over the world to provide the crucial infrastructure for money movement in the region. Processing payments to contractors on Deel, hosts on Airbnb, sellers on Etsy, and many more global brands is just the beginning.

We're looking for people that love what they do and are passionate about making local payments accessible to brands all over the world.

The role

We're looking for a Compliance Analyst to join our growing Compliance function. Working alongside the business, you will assist with onboarding and transaction monitoring for our global business customers, provide support in compliance monitoring and risk management and work to build robust policies and procedures across the business.

Working directly for the Chief Compliance Officer, you will receive significant exposure to the broad spectrum of areas where Compliance plays a key role in our business. As a rapidly growing Fintech, your role may change from day to day and you'll need to be able to adapt to an evolving environment. A keen interest in developing your knowledge and experience across all aspects of Regulatory Compliance and Financial Crime will be key to this role.

Responsibilities include:

• Assisting with corporate customer onboarding, including reviewing applications and supporting documents.
• Transaction monitoring.
• Assisting with Regulatory Reporting to the DFSA and CBUAE.
• Maintaining and updating Compliance policies, procedures and training.
• Assisting with global license applications.

Requirements

Must have

• 1-3 years experience in Compliance, ideally within a Fintech firm.
• Financial Crime (AML/CTF and Sanctions) and Regulatory Compliance experience, covering a wide range of subjects such as KYB, CDD/EDD, Transaction Monitoring, Risk Assessments, and Reporting (SARs).
• Knowledge of UAE financial services regulations, covering onshore and financial freezone regulators.
• Knowledge and understanding of global anti-financial crime frameworks, regulatory recommendations, risk management good practice, and control arrangements in a financial organisation.
• The ability to analyse data and compliance processes to draw conclusions and make recommendations.

Nice to have

• Arabic fluency (both written and spoken)
• Direct experience working with local UAE regulators like CBUAE and the DFSA
• Experience in aspects of Regulatory Compliance in areas other than Financial Crime, for example information security, data protection and complaints handling.

Benefits

• A Macbook
• Opportunity to travel (if applicable)
• Unlimited vacation time
• Private Healthcare
• Employee stock ownership (ESOP)
• Flexible working and autonomy
• Pay it forward days - we offer 2 annual pay it forward days where you can take time to volunteer for a charitable cause that is important to you.
• Wellness days - we believe you can only work your best when you feel your best, and we know working at Fuse is intense, so we offer 3 wellness days every quarter where you can take time to re-energise.
