Head of AML and CTF (PCF 52)

About the team

SumUp's global AML Governance team sits at the heart of how we protect our business, our customers, and the small businesses we serve every day. As SumUp grows into new markets and builds out a truly global compliance structure, this team is expanding its reach, moving from a European focus to a worldwide one, covering regulated entities across the UK, Ireland, Lithuania, Brazil, Chile, Italy, and Australia.

This is a critical, regulated role (PCF-52) for SumUp Limited, our Irish entity. You'll be the primary point of contact with the Central Bank of Ireland and Irish law enforcement on all financial crime matters, and you'll hold overall responsibility for maintaining the framework for detection, prevention, and reporting of financial crime across our Irish operations. This is a real opportunity to shape how AML / CTFgovernance works at scale across SumUp's regulated entities.
