What's the opportunity?

As our Compliance Officer in Colombia, you'll be a key member of our global compliance team, formally appointed and registered as Compliance Officer of the local entity. This is a hands-on role that sits at the intersection of regulatory compliance, AML/KYC operations, and internal control — giving you real ownership over how we manage compliance in one of our core Latin American markets.

What will you be doing?

Regulatory Compliance, AML/KYC & Reporting

Oversee compliance with Colombian fintech regulations, including obligations under the SFC and UIAF, ensuring the company's operations remain aligned with evolving local requirements.

Maintain and update the repository of compliance obligations applicable to the Colombian market, keeping pace with regulatory changes.

Conduct ongoing regulatory monitoring and serve as the primary point of contact with local regulatory bodies.

Oversee the day-to-day application of AML/KYC controls at the operational level, ensuring processes meet SAGRILAFT and PTEE requirements.

Identify, assess, and manage financial crime risks, implementing corrective actions and escalating issues where necessary.

Review and support merchant and counterparty onboarding processes, applying risk-based due diligence criteria.

Monitor transaction activity for red flags and coordinate with global compliance and risk teams on alerts, investigations, and escalations.

Prepare and submit required regulatory reports, including thematic compliance reports and the annual self-assessment of the internal control system.

Support banking relationship management by providing compliance documentation and responding to due diligence requests from financial partners.

Track and follow up on recommendations from internal audits and control reviews, particularly those related to AML and KYC.

Internal Compliance & Culture

Enforce adherence to the company's risk control framework across local departments, promoting a practical culture of compliance rather than a purely procedural one.

Continuously assess and update the risk register for Colombian operations, overseeing incident logging and resolution tracking.

Deliver compliance training to operational staff, with a focus on AML/KYC obligations and fintech-specific regulatory requirements.

Collaborate with global compliance, legal, and product teams to ensure local requirements are reflected in processes and controls.

What skills do you need?

Degree in Law, Business, Finance, Accounting, or a related field — we welcome candidates from either a legal or financial background.

4–6 years of experience in compliance, AML, or KYC roles within the banking or fintech sector in Colombia.

Solid working knowledge of Colombia's financial crime regulatory framework, including SAGRILAFT, PTEE, SFC regulations, and UIAF reporting obligations.

Hands-on experience with transaction monitoring, onboarding reviews, and regulatory reporting.

Clear, direct communicator — able to translate regulatory complexity into practical guidance for non-compliance teams.

Comfortable working in a fast-moving, cross-functional environment with competing priorities.

Fluent in Spanish and English (required given the international nature of the role).
