Employment Hero already moves wages, super and payroll tax payments for employers. We are expanding into business accounts, spend cards and expense payments, starting in Australia, then moving into the UK, Canada and New Zealand. We are applying for our own Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL)



to support that growth. This role builds and runs the compliance function behind it. You will be a Responsible Manager on our AFSL. You will also take part in the day-to-day decisions on how those payments run. You will set one global standard for payments compliance and AML/CTF across our payments, managed payroll and employer of record products. You will lead our in-country compliance leads to meet that standard. This is a hands-on leadership role. You will design the framework, and you will also run it yourself in Australia and New Zealand, where there is no local compliance team yet. We are looking for someone who sees what needs doing and drives it, without waiting to be asked. Licensing and Responsible Manager (Australia)

Take part in day-to-day decisions on how our payments services run: fund holding, settlement, reconciliation, incident handling and partner oversight. Be a Responsible Manager on our AFSL, alongside our GM of Fintech & Payments. Own the compliance arrangements ASIC assesses: compliance plan and obligations register, breach reporting (RG 78), internal dispute resolution (RG 271), conflicts management (RG 181), outsourcing oversight, training and competence (RG 146). Run the obligations that follow a licence grant: ASIC reporting, AFCA membership, compliance certification, audit support, keeping the licence aligned with the payments licensing reforms as they land.



Support future licence applications in other markets. Payments compliance

Own the compliance and control framework for money movement: wages, super, payroll tax, business accounts, cards and reimbursements. Set the compliance requirements our product teams must meet. Work with product and engineering to build controls into the platform from the start, not bolt them on afterwards. Oversee material partners, such as payment providers, card issuers and banking partners, against an outsourcing policy. Lead incident assessment for payments, including whether an event must be reported to a regulator. Global AML/CTF

Set one global AML/CTF standard and oversee how it runs in Australia, the UK, Canada and New Zealand. Allow for local legislation, and cover how the program and its controls apply to each product: payments, managed payroll and employer of record. Lead our in-country compliance leads, who run local programs to the global standard. Oversee our regulator and supervisory body relationships globally, and hold them directly in Australia. Set the customer and business verification (KYC/KYB) standard for every product, so each customer is checked once, not once per product. Lead the rollout of our global verification and transaction monitoring platforms, moving from Canada to Australia and then the UK. Keep our exemption positions under review, and stand up full AML/CTF programs where a product or market needs one. Global risk and compliance framework

Build and run the risk register, risk appetite statement and compliance calendar for the payments and financial services business. Run a regular cycle of control testing. Report to the executive team and the Board, with direct access to
