About the role

First things first: you want to know what you’re actually applying for. It’s impossible to capture every nuance of a role – especially at a rapidly growing company like Mews – but if we had to distill it down to a job description (which we do because this is a job description), it would be this:

As Compliance Manager and MLRO at Mews, you’ll play a pivotal role in ensuring we operate to the highest regulatory standards as we expand our fintech capabilities in Europe. You’ll be responsible for building and leading a best-in-class compliance framework, fostering a culture of integrity, and partnering with senior leadership to support sustainable growth. This is a unique chance to shape the compliance function from the ground up in a fast-moving, global tech company.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it:

• Designing, implementing, and continuously improving compliance and risk management frameworks
• Acting as the lead on AML/CFT matters and serving as the main point of contact for regulatory topics
• Advising the business and leadership teams on compliance requirements and best practices
• Monitoring regulatory developments and translating them into practical processes and policies
• Preparing internal reporting, supporting audits, and overseeing compliance reviews
• Promoting a culture of integrity through training, awareness, and clear guidance
• Building and scaling a compliance team as the business grows

You’ll be a great fit if you bring the below with you:

• 7+ years’ experience in compliance, AML/CFT, or regulatory roles within financial services, payments, or fintech
• Strong knowledge of European and Dutch financial regulations and AML frameworks
• Experience building and running compliance programs in fast-paced, tech-driven environments
• Skilled communicator who can translate regulations into clear, practical guidance
• Track record of engaging with senior management, regulators, and auditors
• High integrity, independence, and sound judgment in complex situations
• Fluency in English; Dutch is a strong plus
• Professional certifications in AML/Compliance (e.g. CAMS, ICA, CFE) are an advantage
