About the role

  • Enhance and further develop the compliance function within the Latvian entity. You can build on existing structures or remodel where you feel it’s needed, so you have a lot of freedom in how you want to tackle this challenge.
  • Establish and oversee all compliance & AML operations in Latvia, ensuring alignment with European regulations and local legal requirements.
  • Provide strategic input and advise the senior management team on legal and regulatory risks associated with our services, corporate governance, and strategic initiatives.
  • Ensure that our Group’s Latvian operations are in compliance with the Bank of Latvia’s and European requirements, including ongoing oversight of any licensing requirements and reporting obligations.
  • Draft and implement policies and procedures to manage legal risks, data protection, and conflicts of interest.
  • Act as the primary point of contact for regulatory inquiries as needed.

Requirements

  • Background in Professional Services: 2-3 years of previous work at a consulting firm, law firm, or financial services provider.
  • No Extensive Compliance Experience is needed: While previous exposure to compliance or financial services-related issues is surely of help, we do not believe they are a must-have. We value smartness, curiosity, and dedication over bullet points on a CV.
  • Curiosity for Financial Regulations: Your goal is to develop a solid understanding of Latvian and European financial & AML regulations and a keen ability to navigate compliance requirements.
  • Educational Background: Either (i) a Bachelor’s degree in finance, risk management, business administration, or a related discipline, or (ii) a law degree from Latvia is required.
  • Policy & SOP Expertise: Ability to draft and develop internal legal & compliance policies and SOPs in precise language.
  • Communication and Analytical Skills: Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to convey compliance concepts to non-legal stakeholders.
  • Regulatory Strategy: Strategic thinker with the ability to align compliance & AML considerations with business objectives and long-term growth.
  • Adaptability and Initiative: Willingness to operate in a fast-paced, evolving environment with a proactive approach to problem-solving.
  • Balanced Vision: Skilled at aligning immediate business needs with long-term strategic goals, ensuring sustainable growth.
Benefits
  • Though generally we see ourselves as “distributed first”, this role is based out of Latvia, where you can work remote or on-site.
  • We are flexible and cover whatever you need to be as productive as possible.
  • Home office stipend.
  • 30 days time off.
  • Meaningful equity.
  • Open-minded and transparent culture that includes regular get-together meetings (e.g., All Hands, Brown Bag Lunch, Offsites)
