The Role

As Senior Compliance Manager, you’ll be a key compliance partner to the Australian business, ensuring our operations continue to meet regulatory requirements while supporting responsible growth.

You’ll work across ASIC, AFSL, AUSTRAC and AML/CTF, partnering with Product, Operations, Risk, Sales, Finance and Legal.

This role would suit someone who enjoys being close to the business, solving practical compliance issues and building frameworks in a growing setting — rather than simply maintaining an established compliance function.

What you’ll do

- Own and continuously improve KPay Australia’s Compliance Management Framework
- Manage and advise on AFSL compliance obligations
- Oversee regulatory compliance requirements across ASIC and AUSTRAC
- Develop and maintain the AML/CTF compliance framework
- Lead compliance monitoring, testing and risk assessments
- Identify, manage and remediate compliance breaches and incidents
- Oversee KYC, CDD/EDD, sanctions and financial crime controls
- Support regulatory reporting and regulatory engagement with ASIC and AUSTRAC




- Provide practical compliance advice to senior stakeholders and business teams
- Review new products, processes and business initiatives from a compliance perspective
- Maintain compliance policies, procedures, registers and regulatory obligations
- Partner with Risk, Operations, Product, Sales, Finance and Legal to embed compliance into day-to-day operations
- Support the continued development of KPay’s Australian compliance function as the business grows

What we’re looking for

- 5+ years of compliance experience within financial services, fintech, payments, banking or lending
- Hands-on experience with both AFSL and AUSTRAC requirements in Australia
- Strong knowledge of ASIC regulatory requirements and AML/CTF obligations
- Experience with compliance monitoring, testing, risk assessments and breach management
- Strong understanding of KYC, CDD/EDD, sanctions and financial crime controls
- Experience advising senior stakeholders and working across multiple business functions
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- A proactive and practical approach to compliance
- The ability to operate independently in a fast-paced, growing environment
- Experience in payments, merchant acquiring or lending would be highly regarded.

Why join KPay?

- Own and shape the Australian compliance function
- Work across payments, merchant acquiring and lending
- Gain broad exposure to ASIC, AFSL, AUSTRAC and AML/CTF
- Work directly with senior stakeholders and global teams
- Join an international fintech during a period of significant growth
- Have the opportunity to build and improve compliance frameworks rather than simply maintain them
- Grow your career as KPay continues to scale across Australia
