  • Own AML reporting on alert volumes, case handling times, and SLA performance

  • Assess AML/ATF risk for new products, features, and delivery channels before launch.

  • Design and deliver AML/ATF training for Fig employees, AML staff, and outsourced teams, and maintain training records.

  • Support audits, effectiveness reviews, and examinations

    • You’ll succeed here if you have

  • 5 years experience (or more) in AML/ATF compliance at a Canadian bank, lender, fintech, or payments company.

  • Strong working knowledge of the PCMLTFA and FINTRAC guidance, and hands-on experience with name-screening, transaction monitoring, and high-risk customer management.

  • Ability to design and manage quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) programs, including for oversight of outsourced teams.

  • Strong collaboration skills and a proven ability to work cross-functionally

  • Clear, confident verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to explain risk decisions concisely

  • Strong judgment and ability to prioritize and execute across competing priorities in a start-up environment
