Job description

Location: Amsterdam (Hybrid) | Department: Legal & Compliance | Employment Type: Full-time (Negotiable)

About the role

Only four years after entering the market, Mondu is one of Europe’s leading B2B payments providers. Now live across 30+ markets, trusted by ambitious companies, and operating with an EMI license, we’re expanding our commercial footprint in Europe and beyond.

As we grow, so does the complexity of the regulatory landscape we operate in, and we're looking for someone who can help us navigate it with rigor and confidence. As Senior Compliance Officer, you'll sit within our Legal & Compliance department and own the regulatory compliance framework that underpins our license to operate as a payments and BNPL provider. Reporting directly to the Chief Legal Officer, you'll act as a trusted advisor to the business, ensure our governance structures hold up to regulatory scrutiny, and represent the company in our ongoing relationship with De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB).

What you’ll do

• Own and maintain our regulatory compliance framework, ensuring policies stay aligned with our EMI/PI license conditions and evolving EU/Dutch regulation (including PSD2, PSR, DORA, AMLD)
• Act as the primary relationship holder with De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) and other supervisory authorities, managing regulatory correspondence, license conditions, and periodic reporting
• Advise the Chief Legal Officer and senior leadership on compliance risk arising from new products, markets, and partnerships
• Draft, review, and maintain compliance policies, governance documentation, and internal control frameworks required under our licensing obligations
• Conduct compliance risk assessments and gap analyses ahead of regulatory audits, license renewals, or new market entry
• Support governance processes, including compliance reporting to the Board and management committees
• Act as a compliance advisor to Product and Commercial teams during contract review, partnership structuring, and new product launches
• Identify opportunities to embed AI and automation into compliance workflows — from policy monitoring to reporting — so our function scales efficiently as the business grows.

What you need to succeed

• ~5 years of experience in a compliance role within a legal or compliance department at a bank, EMI/PI, or other regulated financial services entity or bank
• Deep working knowledge of Dutch and EU regulatory frameworks governing payments and e-money institutions (DNB and legal requirements, EMI/PI licensing)
• Demonstrated experience managing or being a key part of the relationship with a regulator or supervisory authority (DNB, AFM, or equivalent)
• Strong policy drafting and governance documentation skills, with an eye for translating regulation into practical, business-friendly frameworks
• Comfortable advising senior stakeholders and leadership on compliance risk in a fast-moving, high-growth environment
• Solution oriented mindset: working with our other key departments to find solutions that support Mondu’s growth while ensuring we always stay compliant with the law.
• Previous experience in AI usage and automation of tasks and having a tech-savvy mindset.

It Would Be a Plus If You Also Have

• Prior experience within BNPL, merchant payments, or EMIs specifically
• Familiarity with governance requirements for financial services
• Experience in using AI closely for implementing compliance-related tasks.

What's in it for you?

• Strong growth opportunity: we want this role to progress into a Head of Compliance. While we therefore look for an independent, self-starter to grow into the role we are also open to supporting through a relevant qualification or certificate, to be discussed further in the interview process!
• € 300 per year for you to endorse team build, including dinners, games, and events.
• 28 vacation days per year (increasing 1 day every year up to 30).
• Hybrid working model where we welcome you to our office in the center of Amsterdam 3 days a week.
• Take advantage of our Workation policy, allowing for up to 6 weeks every year of work outside of the Netherlands (some restrictions apply).
• Subsidised gym membership to boost your physical and mental well-being.
• €54 per month towards public transport costs.
• Tax relief for payments into our Business Bike scheme.
• Direct exposure to leadership and real influence over how we scale our compliance function.
• A company where you can accelerate your career and take ownership of your work in a flat hierarchy where 360 feedback is encouraged.

Are you a Monduneer in disguise?

Working in a truly diverse group makes us stronger and more resilient. Furthermore, it enables an unfair advantage - the opportunity to learn from each other, see different perspectives, and consider a broader range of variables in our decision-making. That is what being a Monduneer is all about.

Thus, regardless of your background, age, disability, gender, parental status, race, religion, sexual orientation, educational background, or any other aspect you feel is a statement of your diversity, we look forward to discussing your role in mind.
