Compliance Manager

We are looking for an exceptional Compliance Manager, whose role it will be to ensure Dock Financials compliance with internal statutes and codes, as well as local/EU laws and regulations - with AML/KYC duties, as well as GDPR-applicable obligations.

As a prerequisite, you should have at least 1 to 3 years of relevant experience in a similar position.

To be successful in this position, we believe that you are a highly motivated person with extensive knowledge of banking and financial sector laws and regulations. You will be closely working with our Business Team and therefore you have a solid business understanding and knowledge of financial products and markets as well as good business acumen and ability to analyze demanding business cases, including the assessment of the related risk. 

As a person, you are collaborative, service minded and structured, with a high capacity and strong work ethic. You have a high level of responsibility and can work independently and drive your own initiatives, but you are also a strong team player who enjoys reaching results together. You are a strong communicator with proven ability to influence and build trust. The position requires having capacity to work with several matters simultaneously and the ability to work under pressure with tight time frames.

Fluency in English and German both in writing and orally is required.

Let’s face it, with all the technical and regulatory complexities and legacy technology global banking simply is broken.

Aiming to build the most comprehensive and flexible embedded finance platform out there, we are on a mission to fix this and remove the barriers – and provide our partners with a seamless experience when prototyping and building financial products and services in just a few weeks, or even days, instead of months to years. Launching a banking product, embedding and scaling financial use-cases will never have been easier and faster, and that’s what we are fully committed to.

So, what’s that… are we a startup and starting from scratch? Yes. And no. We are a well funded licensed e-money institution and principal member of Mastercard with offices in Luxembourg and Munich with a staff of ca. 120, and rapidly growing. We have been running a successful consumer card product for the last 6 years and built a significant B2B portfolio around corporate spend management, payouts and emergency payments.

Following our new mission we have brought together some of the brightest minds in fintech and now are building a new modular ecosystem upon the running business and experience we have. Quite a luxurious situation for a startup we’d say – and one that absolutely excites us!

Capturing the momentum, we also strive to become even more customer-centric, an environmentally friendly company and a must go-to-employer. Our international team is growing rapidly, all united in a dynamic culture with a common purpose: to deliver maximum value and the best experience to our customers.
