Capital.com is growing beyond its current product set into new products, payment methods and jurisdictions. Financial crime controls have to keep pace with that growth and stay a step ahead of it.

Your remit runs across onboarding, customer due diligence, customer risk assessment, screening, fraud, transaction monitoring, investigations and offboarding, covering the product, systems, controls and the operations.
You will set the strategy, build the leadership team and give senior leaders a clear view of how well our controls are working. This is a senior role with a clear mandate: build a function that can support a much larger, more complex business.
