Job Description

Compliance Officer managing BSA/AML operations at LemFi, supporting consumer compliance programs for immigrant communities. Leading day-to-day compliance operations and ensuring regulatory adherence.

Responsibilities:

  • Run the day-to-day BSA/AML operation: SAR quality, FinCEN regulatory reporting, and transaction monitoring, escalating material issues and deputising for the CCO when they are out.
  • Own the consumer compliance programme operationally: UDAAP, Reg E, CAN-SPAM, and TCPA reviews of marketing and advertising materials, plus disclosure maintenance and complaints intake through to resolution.
  • Lead the consumer complaints programme end-to-end, spotting systemic issues and proposing root-cause fixes rather than just closing tickets.
  • Support multi-state MTL compliance, including licence renewals, regulatory notifications, and examination preparation across all active LemFi US states.
  • Manage sponsor bank compliance commitments, keeping the status documented, open items tracked, and the CCO informed before things become surprises.
  • Contribute to US compliance sections of board and executive management reports, and support the group-wide compliance risk assessment.
  • Use AI tools to accelerate policy drafting, evidence pack preparation, and regulatory research, freeing your own capacity for the judgement calls that actually need you.

Requirements:

  • 6 or more years of compliance experience in US payments, money transmission, fintech, or financial services, with genuine hands-on depth in both BSA/AML and consumer compliance.
  • Solid working knowledge of BSA/AML requirements, FinCEN regulations, and OFAC, including direct experience with SAR and CTR processes.
  • Experience contributing to a consumer compliance programme covering UDAAP, Reg E, and complaints management, not just advising on it.
  • Familiarity with multi-state MTL compliance and the regulatory expectations of state money transmission regulators.
  • Experience working within or alongside a sponsor bank or BaaS compliance structure, and an understanding of how those relationships work under pressure.
  • Strong written and verbal communication: able to produce clear compliance guidance, policy documents, and regulatory correspondence that the business and regulators can both rely on.
  • Comfortable operating with limited day-to-day supervision, managing competing priorities across two compliance workstreams, and making sound judgement calls independently.

Benefits:

  • Health insurance
  • 401(k) matching
  • Flexible work hours
  • Paid time off
  • Remote work options
