Location: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia (CBD) – onsite role.
WHO ARE WE?
We are working with a rapidly growing fintech that provides digital wallet and payment infrastructure for businesses, enabling them to send, receive, and manage funds securely. The platform is built with strong foundations in compliance, covering remittance, KYC, AML/CTF requirements, AUSTRAC reporting, and secure customer onboarding. As the company expands into new products and payment corridors, they’re strengthening their operations and compliance capability to ensure smooth money movement, accurate float management, and end-to-end regulatory oversight.
WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING?
You’ll oversee the end‑to‑end remittance operation, ensuring all transactions are processed accurately, securely, and on time. A core part of the role involves onboarding recent remittance partners and business clients by conducting due diligence, reviewing ASIC records, and verifying documentation to meet compliance requirements. You’ll manage regulatory obligations across KYC, AML/CTF, AUSTRAC reporting, and international remittance rules, while also handling float accounts, monitoring balances, and reconciling funds to maintain liquidity and operational control. Beyond the day‑to‑day, you’ll drive process improvements, mitigate risk and fraud, collaborate with banking partners and payment providers, and support customer teams with escalations to strengthen the overall client experience.
You’ll also track key metrics, prepare reports, and deliver insights to senior leadership to support ongoing strategy and decision‑making.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED…
- 4+ years of experience in operations/compliance, ideally within fintech, remittance, or related financial services.
- Hands‑on experience managing partner or business onboarding and compliance requirements.
- Experience managing float accounts, cash flow, or transactional funds within a payments or remittance environment.
- Strong leadership skills with experience managing and developing teams.
- Exceptional organisational, analytical, and time‑management abilities.
