Compliance Manager

We 💛 small business

We founded Holvi in 2011, in Helsinki. As self-employed people wading through oceans of paperwork, we noticed something funny going on – traditional banks were giving us the cold shoulder. Why not help ourselves? We asked. And so, with time and effort (and lots of coffee), we mastered small business finance – and Holvi was born.

Our vision is simple: Eliminate the distractions of financial admin and simplify work life, because running a business is hard enough. Small businesses shouldn’t have to worry about spreadsheets and lost receipts.

Since our inception as a pioneering fintech, we've experienced our fair share of challenges and growth. We explored different paths, and from those experiences, we've evolved. Today, we stand as a team-owned and profitable company, proud of our journey.

Right now, we’re looking for a Compliance Manager in the internal control and testing domain to join our team in Helsinki or Berlin. If you want to help us make self-employment a little easier, Holvi is for you.

An opportunity to do things right

You believe compliance is an opportunity to do things right and you consider yourself successful if you help others to succeed. As a Compliance Manager at Holvi, it’s all about managing the balancing act of enabling the teams to build excellent services for our customers while ensuring top-notch adherence to the regulatory obligations of a financial institution. You are the second pair of eyes for our business and operations team members and constantly look out for potential obstacles that need solving.

A typical day could see you:

• Maintaining, executing and continuously improving the compliance testing framework, including developing new testing concepts and digging to the grounds of business processes
• Analysing, documenting and reporting findings and other observations on an ongoing basis to senior leadership and other control functions
• Actively advising business functions in successfully treating identified challenges and monitoring the effectiveness of implemented measures and controls
• Monitoring of Holvi’s risk appetite/key risk indicators and investigating on possible shortcomings or concerns raised by you or other stakeholders
• Coordinate key auditing activities with internal stakeholders and external auditors, including defining audit scopes and proposing annual audit plans

Requirements

This is for you if you:

• You have worked in payments and financial services for 3-5 years and bring knowledge of the underlying regulations (such as AMLD, GDPR, PSD2, and more)

• You have experience in designing and executing internal control or testing frameworks, from scoping controls to measuring the effectiveness and reporting of shortcomings

• You enjoy working hands-on, preparing reports and analysing data and what’s behind

It's a plus if you:

• Have actively contributed to the management and tracking of key risk indicators in comparable roles
• Have worked in relevant operational roles before yourself, such as Banking/Payment or AML Operations teams
