AML Compliance Manager

EBANX is one of the most successful fintechs to emerge from Latin America — and today, we are building a truly global payments company. Our mission has remained constant from day one: to unlock access and enable companies and consumers to participate in the digital economy, no matter where they are.

What started as a bold vision has grown into a platform that connects some of the world’s largest digital businesses with customers across 21 of the fastest-growing markets. We operate where complexity exists — turning local challenges into global opportunities, and building the infrastructure that allows payments to move further, faster, and smarter.

We are a team of builders and problem-solvers. We think globally, act with curiosity, and believe diversity of thought is a competitive advantage.

As EBANX enters its next phase of hyper growth, we are looking for people who want to shape the future of payments, expand what’s possible, and help connect businesses and consumers across borders.
Let’s build what’s next — together.

We're looking for an experienced AML leader who has successfully built and scaled international AML programs across multiple jurisdictions. This role requires someone who understands the complexity of global payments, correspondent banking relationships, and cross-border regulatory frameworks, and can translate that expertise into a scalable, risk-based compliance program.

What your day-to-day will look like

• Own and continuously evolve EBANX's global AML Compliance Program, ensuring scalable, risk-based governance across multiple jurisdictions while aligning with FATF recommendations, international regulatory requirements, and EBANX's risk appetite.
• Lead and develop a high-performing AML Compliance team, setting strategy, coaching leaders and specialists, and fostering a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and strong financial crime governance.
• Oversee all core AML program pillars—including KYC, KYP, KYE, transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, investigations, and SAR/STR reporting—ensuring controls remain effective, auditable, and scalable as EBANX expands globally.
• Act as the primary AML partner for correspondent banks, banking partners, regulators, and executive leadership, managing due diligence requests, regulatory interactions, enterprise-wide AML risk assessments, and Board-level reporting.
• Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Operations, Commercial, Legal, and Risk teams to embed AML requirements into new products, market expansions, and strategic initiatives.
• Drive continuous improvement by leveraging automation, analytics, and emerging technologies to strengthen financial crime controls while maintaining an efficient customer experience.

What you need to shine in this role

•  AML Compliance experience, with leadership responsibility in fintechs, global payments companies, financial institutions, or other highly regulated organizations.
• Proven experience leading international AML programs across multiple countries or regions, with deep understanding of cross-border financial crime risks, correspondent banking expectations, FATF recommendations, and global regulatory frameworks.
• Demonstrated success designing, building, or significantly maturing AML programs—not simply maintaining existing frameworks—including governance, controls, policies, and monitoring capabilities.
• Strong expertise across multiple AML disciplines, including customer due diligence (KYC/KYP/KYE), transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, investigations, SAR/STR reporting, and AML risk assessments.
• Proven people leadership experience, with a track record of building high-performing teams, developing talent, and influencing senior stakeholders across global organizations.
• Experience managing relationships with correspondent banks, regulators, auditors, and external partners, responding to due diligence requests, regulatory inquiries, and AML assessments.
• Strong strategic thinking, executive communication, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence senior leadership in complex, fast-paced, cross-functional environments.
• Fluent English (written and spoken).

Bonus points if you have

• Experience in high-growth fintechs or global payment companies operating across Latin America and other multi-regulatory environments.
• Experience applying AI, automation, machine learning, or advanced analytics to enhance transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, investigations, and financial crime operations.
• CAMS or equivalent AML certification.
