- • You will conduct thorough investigations of Wayflyer customers using internal systems and open-source intelligence to identify potential financial crime risks, perform Customer Due Diligence (CDD), and review transaction activity to detect and assess suspicious patterns requiring further action.
- • Supporting the MLRO, you will contribute to the ongoing design, implementation, and oversight of the company’s AML framework across multiple jurisdictions, ensuring policies remain effective, up-to-date, and aligned with evolving regulatory expectations.

- • Operating in a fast-paced, global scale-up environment, you will exercise autonomy and initiative, making informed decisions while balancing risk, growth, and speed — particularly during periods when Northern Hemisphere teams are offline.
- • You will join a mission-driven company that has deployed over $5 billion in financing to thousands of SMBs worldwide since 2020, partnering with Tier 1 banks like J.P. Morgan to empower businesses with fast, flexible capital.
