Ready to get shit done?

We’re looking for a strategic leader who can turn vision into execution, scaling high-performing ops teams with speed and precision. With deep regulatory mastery and an AI-first mindset, you’ll build compliant, automated, and user-friendly processes that unlock growth.


Take Ownership:

  • Take full ownership of KYC, AML, and customer due diligence (CDD) processes — from onboarding to offboarding — ensuring every approval, risk check, review, and escalation is accurate, compliant, and user-friendly.

  • Verify the identity of every user, swiftly detect suspicious activities, and block bad actors with robust, risk-based processes.

  • Maintain full compliance with the EU’s Anti-Money Laundering Directives, Dutch financial regulations, and bunq’s internal risk appetite framework.

  • Partner with Product, Compliance, and Risk teams to design seamless flows that balance customer experience with regulatory obligations.

  • Continuously improve controls through automation, AI, and data-driven insights to reduce manual work and scale efficiently.

  • AI-native mindset – You don’t just adopt AI—you design for it. You actively spot opportunities to apply intelligent automation, using AI to unlock scale, reduce manual effort, increase compliance accuracy and customer experience
