Job description

Letly is an AI-Native vertical fintech platform focussed on the rental housing market. We are automating rental workflows end-to-end and building a fintech platform underneath to manage the trillions of dollars spent on rent globally.

We recently closed a venture funding round and are hiring a compliance leader to run and spearhead our UK Electronic Money Institution (EMI) application, build our compliance operating model, and shape Letly's risk culture.

Apply if:

• You've worked in compliance at an EMI or Payment Institution; working on an EMI or API application with the FCA is a plus.
• You understand the UK EMI regulations, Payment Services Regulations, and the FCA’s approach under those regimes.
• You can translate complex rules into scalable product and process requirements.
• You want to work in a high-ownership environment – setting policy, building controls, and partnering closely with engineering and operations.
• You want to work at the frontier intersection of AI, real-time finance, and compliance.

You Will:

• Drive the end-to-end FCA submission and act as the point-person for our consultants and law firms.
• As MLRO, own the firm’s AML/CFT program – maintaining policy, filing reports, conducting internal investigations, and liaising with the FCA.
• Architect Letly's compliance core – combining policy, controls, monitoring, reporting, and issue management.
• Work with Product & Engineering to codify regulatory rules into our modular backend compliance engine.
• Be a key part of a high-performance, engineering and product-led company with a high degree of autonomy and impact.

Compensation:

• Competitive salary and meaningful equity in the company.
• Annual performance-based compensation (cash and equity).
• High autonomy and ownership in a role with high impact.
