Responsibilities

~1 min read

→Own second-line AML/CFT compliance: cover sanctions/embargo/PEP screening, transaction monitoring, EDD, and STR across every market Qonto operates in.
→Run periodic control plans: design and execute end-to-end testing of these processes, checking alignment with the source of truth, internal policy, and regulatory requirements.
→Track regulatory risk: assess where evolving banking and AFC regulation opens gaps in Qonto's control framework, and size the impact market by market.
→Drive remediation to closure: work with AFC, Compliance, and Regulatory teams to fix control findings, push for automation and process improvements, and lead the debriefs that get corrective actions signed off and implemented on time.
→Coach first-line teams: guide stakeholders on designing and testing their Level 1 controls, acting as the go-to on control methodology and best practice.

AFC/compliance experience: 3-5 years in AFC or compliance roles inside a bank, payment institution, or Big Four financial services practice — or in internal audit with a compliance focus.
AML/CFT expertise: solid grounding in AML/CFT regulation, sanctions and embargo frameworks, fraud topics, and EDD requirements in a banking or fintech context.
Risk assessment: you spot control gaps, size their real impact, and propose remediation that holds up — not flag-and-forget.
Stakeholder management: you translate complex findings into plain language for non-compliance stakeholders, and you're comfortable questioning the status quo when the evidence says you should.
Languages: fluent French and English.

Direct line to Qonto's compliance backbone: your control plans directly secure Qonto's AML/CFT posture as we scale into a Credit Institution.
A team that spans real ground: join an Internal Control team covering Finance, Legal, AFC, and Regulatory risk — different domains, one shared methodology.
Senior exposure from day one: regular contact with senior stakeholders across AFC, Compliance, and Regulatory teams, not just your immediate team.
A regulatory landscape that keeps moving: new AML/CFT rules and sanctions regimes to track and build controls around — not a static playbook.
Hybrid setup: 3 days/week from the Paris office, 2 remote.

Your manager will be Jérémy, our Lead Internal Control. He is dedicated to building a best-in-class control framework and values autonomy, rigor, and proactive communication. He will provide the structure you need (monthly control plans, kick-offs) while trusting you to manage your deadlines and stakeholders independently.
