* Monitor EU regulatory changes and assess their impact on the business
* Ensure marketing, communications, and customer journeys meet regulatory standards
* Prepare bilingual governance documents and facilitate local management meetings
* Support board and committee reporting across EU entities
* Deliver compliance and AML training tailored to staff roles
* Act as a key partner in both new and existing commercial relationships
What We’re Looking For
* 3+ years’ experience in compliance within financial services or another regulated industry
* Native German speaker with fluent English (C1 level); additional European languages a plus
* A degree in law, compliance, governance, or related disciplines
* Professional compliance certifications (e.g. ICA) are advantageous
* A collaborative mindset with strong analytical and communication skills
