• Design, develop and maintain compliance training decks and supporting materials — translating complex regulatory requirements into clear, audience-appropriate content for staff across the Verifone Group, and tracking completion rates against mandatory training obligations
• Build and maintain compliance reporting dashboards using Anthropic Claude and other AI-enabled tools, automating data-collection workflows, generating structured compliance artefacts and producing management information for senior stakeholders and the Audit & Risk Committee

• Demonstrated experience supporting regulatory reporting cycles and managing audit and examination processes end-to-end, including evidence collation, finding remediation and regulator liaison
• Hands-on experience using Anthropic Claude or an equivalent AI large-language-model tool to build compliance reporting dashboards, automate recurring data workflows and generate structured compliance artefacts
• Proven track record managing third-party due-diligence questionnaires (DDQs) and vendor compliance programmes, including the development and maintenance of a master response library
• Experience designing and delivering compliance training decks and awareness materials for diverse business audiences, with the ability to translate regulatory requirements into plain-language guidance
• Working knowledge of AML/CTF frameworks, financial crime typologies and sanctions screening obligations (OFAC, EU Consolidated List, UK HMT/OFSI)
• Familiarity with the regulatory frameworks applicable to a global payments business (e.g. PSD2/PSD3, AMLD5/6)
• Proficiency with Microsoft 365 (Excel, PowerPoint, Word, SharePoint)
• Highly analytical with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple concurrent deadlines without sacrificing quality of work
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
