In this role, you will manage a high-performing team of Anti-Money-Laundering and Anti-Financial Crime specialists, fostering professional growth and transferring deep industry knowledge. You will serve as the primary escalation point for complex, high-risk transaction-based alerts and case investigations, ensuring they are properly triaged before routing to second-line teams.

You will lead operational teams against clear SLAs and quality standards while maintaining strong judgment under pressure, improve processes and documentation in partnership with Product and Engineering, and serve as a credible escalation point for complex or high-severity cases. Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills in both English and German are essential.
Required qualifications include several years of experience in Anti-Money-Laundering or Anti-Financial Crime operations within fintech, payments, banking, or comparable environments; deep understanding of money laundering and terrorist financing typologies; prior people leadership experience managing AFC Operations experts; proven ability to lead teams against clear metrics; and experience improving operational processes and tooling through cross-functional collaboration.
