Overview

Build and run a compliance function for the rules governing a portfolio of European payment methods. The position focuses on scheme obligations and their practical effect on products and operations, requiring both a detailed understanding of payment rules and the ability to create a dependable process around them.

Requirements

  • The role initially carries considerable individual responsibility, with possible team development as the function grows.
  • Candidates need strong payments knowledge, experience interpreting scheme rules and evidence of creating compliance processes.
  • Stakeholder management and analytical judgment are central.

Responsibilities

  • Establish how new and amended scheme requirements are received, interpreted, assigned and monitored.
  • Translate those changes into actionable guidance for product, legal, risk, operations and commercial teams.
  • Maintain documentation and reporting that show what has changed, who is responsible and whether the necessary action has been completed.
  • Act as the internal specialist on scheme rules and develop constructive relationships with external scheme representatives.
  • Identify potential compliance exposures early, escalate material issues, and challenge requirements where there is a reasoned commercial or operational case.
  • Training and clear communication are important because the function must help other teams apply the rules correctly.

Conditions

  • The role has a hybrid workplace in London, with an expectation of three office days each week.
