We’re reinventing payments.
In less than four years, Dojo disrupted the market to become the largest and most loved acquirer in the UK. Our payments infrastructure, purpose-built for in-person commerce, is game changing.
Now, over 150,000 customers across four countries choose to transact billions with us every year.
But we’re just getting started.
Our people are the driving force behind our success. They are our greatest investment and our ultimate competitive advantage. We hire exceptional people and give them the autonomy, trust, and ownership to thrive. The results take care of themselves.
The Role
As we start our expansion into Europe, we are looking for a AML Local Compliance Officer, who will own Dojo’s Regulatory and AML/CFT compliance programme for Italy; establishing and maintaining a robust compliance framework aligned with regulatory requirements and anti-financial crime standards set by the local regulator.
Reporting into the Head of AML/CFT for Dojo Europe, you will oversee and manage the daily activities for our Irish compliance team whilst being a proactive member of the wider European team.
What you will do...
* Develop and implement and embed compliance policies, programmes and procedures (compliance monitoring programme, AML/CTF compliance control framework, etc.) tailored to Spanish regulatory requirements.
* Monitor regulatory change (i.e. PSD2, Bank of Italy guidance, EU regulations, AML, etc.) and provide guidance and solutions to the business on relevant regulatory issues.
* Perform and maintain country risk assessments to identify potential compliance risk and vulnerabilities, and implement policies and procedures to mitigate these risks.
* Provide training and support to other team members on local compliance policies.
* Be the deputy central point of contact for Irish regulatory authorities, including law enforcement and the Irish Financial Intelligence Unit.
* Provide support to local Senior Management and the Board, as well as to the Group Compliance functions (Continental Europe & UK); ensuring execution against regulatory requirements and internal policies.
* Manage and act as country lead whilst dealing with Irish suspicious activity reporting (STR), internally and externally. Working with the Irish FIU and Irish Revenue.
* Deal with country-specific escalations from the Underwriting, KYC and Financial Crime teams, including PEP and Sanctions, and ensure they are appropriately reported and governed locally.
* Work in a small cross-functional team and be available to assist colleagues when required.
What you will need...
* Proven experience in an AML/CTF/Financial Crime Compliance role with both regulatory knowledge and experience implementing compliance programmes.
* In-depth knowledge of the industry’s standards, regulations and key financial crime regimes in Ireland; knowledge of the regulatory requirements in other EU/EEA jurisdictions is an additional advantage.
* High sense of responsibility and autonomy – "ready to go" from day one and to get stuck in the details.
* Experience engaging with local regulators and the Italy FIU, and understanding of the challenges faced for a new fintech in Ireland.
* Professional qualification from an internationally recognised body (e.g. CFCS, CAMS or equivalent) is a plus.
* Good computer skills, including Microsoft Office, Google (Word, Excel and PowerPoint).
* Detail-oriented with excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
Dojo home and away
We believe our best work happens when we collaborate in-person. These “together days” foster communication, drive innovation and spark our brightest ideas.
That's why we have an office-first culture. This means working from the office 4+ days per week.
With offices across Europe, we know a thing or two about staying dynamic. Need deep focus? Head to a quiet zone. Big ideas? Collaboration spaces have you covered. Just here for a catch-up? Our social hubs make it easy. Do work that counts, in spaces made for you.
Question: what’s curious, relentless, and customer obsessed?

* You’re curious. You have a real desire to learn and create.
