With 950+ Mollies across 14+ locations, we care deeply about autonomy and craft. So we work in small teams, with real ownership, and we trust you to make the right decisions. We're building for the long term, so we provide the tools you need, processes you can rely on, and a balanced work environment to help you do work you're proud of.

Your impact

Compliance at Mollie is a competitive advantage — and you'll be the one building it. As a Senior Regulatory Compliance Officer, you'll be at the heart of how we scale responsibly across Europe, turning complex regulatory requirements into practical, automated solutions that actually work for the business. You'll own the frameworks, lead the conversations, and make sure compliance moves at the same pace we do.

You'll also lead and develop a team of junior and mid-level compliance officers — coaching them, reviewing their work, and helping them grow. Your expertise across AML/CFT, sanctions, and regulatory advisory will set the standard for how the team operates and how compliance is embedded across Mollie.

This is a role where your work has real reach. The frameworks you build, the policies you shape, and the culture you foster will directly support over 350,000 businesses growing with less friction and more freedom.

What you'll ship

• A robust, scalable compliance framework across AML/CFT, sanctions, and governance — designed to support Mollie's rapid European expansion

• Clear, actionable policies and controls that translate PSD2/3, AMLD6 and EBA Guidelines into practical business requirements

• Proactive risk assessments and thematic reviews that identify and close compliance gaps before they become problems

• Compliance embedded into product development lifecycles — working closely with Product, Engineering, Legal, Risk, and Operations to make it happen by design, not as an afterthought

• High-quality regulatory reporting and senior management deliverables, prepared with precision and delivered on time

• A stronger, more capable compliance team — through structured mentorship, coaching, and quality oversight that raises the bar across the board

What you’ll bring

• 7+ years of compliance experience within a regulated financial institution — Fintech, PSP, EMI, or (neo)bank

• Strong, hands‑on knowledge of European regulatory frameworks, including PSD2, AMLD, EBA Guidelines and MiCAR

• Solid experience across both financial crime (AML/CFT, sanctions) and broader regulatory compliance advisory

• The ability to translate complex regulations into clear, practical solutions — without overcomplicating it

• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to challenge and influence senior leadership when it matters

• A proven track record of mentoring or managing junior compliance professionals and elevating team performance

Grow your way

At Mollie, growth is personal. We believe everyone should have the chance to develop their skills, explore new challenges and shape their career on their own terms. You'll get regular feedback and performance reviews to support your development, with fair and transparent salary reviews along the way. Many Mollies move into new roles or take on new projects to stretch themselves, and we actively hire from within to help you take the next step.

No matter if you're aiming for promotion, exploring a different career path or building new skills, you'll be supported with the tools, trust and opportunities to grow your way.
