About the Company

Pockyt is redefining how money moves across borders. Our platform enables businesses to send and receive payments globally—fast, securely, and in full compliance with international regulations.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Risk & Compliance Manager to help protect Pockyt and our clients from financial crime, fraud, and compliance risks.

• Review and analyze transactions for suspicious activity, escalating cases when necessary.
• Support the design and execution of AML, KYC/KYB, and sanctions screening processes.
• Assist in developing and maintaining risk scoring models for merchants and transactions.
• Partner with internal teams to address compliance requirements for new products and markets.
• Maintain accurate documentation and audit-ready compliance records.
• Keep up to date with regulatory changes in global payments and fintech.

Qualifications

• Experience: 2–5 years in compliance, risk management, or fraud prevention—preferably in payments, banking, or fintech.
• Knowledge: Understanding of AML/BSA, OFAC, KYC/KYB, and global sanctions requirements.
• Skills: Detail-oriented with strong analytical and investigative abilities.
• Mindset: Proactive, curious, and comfortable in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
• Bonus Points: Experience with high-risk industries, cross-border payments, or compliance automation tools.
