About Nclusion


Nclusion is on a mission to provide traditional financial services to 1.4 billion people worldwide without access today. Without a secure way to save, invest, or transfer money, individuals are not empowered to accumulate short or long-term wealth. We're changing that by bridging the gap between traditional banking and the communities that need it most.

About the Role


The Director of Compliance Systems & Analytics at Nclusion will own the design, implementation, and optimization of the company’s global compliance technology and analytics framework. This role is responsible for translating AML, KYC, sanctions, anti-corruption, and related regulatory obligations into scalable, efficient, and regulator-ready systems across jurisdictions.

You will define Nclusion’s compliance systems philosophy, establishing global baseline controls while tailoring requirements country by country, and ensure those controls are embedded into our products and operations. Working closely with Engineering, Product, Legal, and Compliance leadership, you will serve as the connective tissue between regulatory requirements and technical execution.

What You’ll Do


  • Global Compliance Systems - Define and operationalize global compliance controls while adapting requirements jurisdiction by jurisdiction.

  • Systems Ownership - Lead integration, configuration, tuning, and ongoing performance of compliance tools across onboarding, screening, due diligence, and transaction monitoring.

  • Cross-Functional Partnership - Work closely with Engineering and Product to implement compliant, scalable workflows and data flows.

  • Vendor Selection - Run RFI/RFP processes, document requirements, and manage compliance technology vendors.

  • Analytics & Tuning - Use data and statistical analysis to reduce false positives and improve system efficiency.

  • Automation - Identify and implement workflow automation, including scripting and selective use of LLMs or ML tools.

  • Regulatory Readiness - Ensure systems are documented, auditable, and exam-ready.

  • Team Growth - Operate as a sole contributor initially and help define future team structure.

What You Bring to the Table


  • 7+ Years of Experience in financial services compliance or compliance technology.
  • Hands-on experience with AML/KYC, sanctions, and transaction monitoring tools.
  • Strong data skills, including SQL or equivalent querying experience.
  • Experience leading vendor evaluations and system implementations.
  • Familiarity with tools such as Chainalysis, Elliptic, Unit21, World-Check, Drumio, Sumsub, or similar.
