- Coordinate responses to regulator inquiries, thematic reviews, audits, and inspections.

Governance & Controls

- Implement global compliance frameworks into local procedures; maintain SOPs, documentation, evidence trails.
- Conduct regulatory gap assessments and drive remediation programs.
- Oversee monitoring of compliance KPIs (reporting timeliness, error rate, remediation SLAs).

Cross-Functional Coordination

- Partner with AML on SAR/EDD/monitoring needs.
- Partner with Licensing on new license submissions or renewals.
- Work with Product/KYB teams to ensure onboarding flows meet LATAM regulatory requirements.
- Work with Finance on regulatory financial reporting.

Team Leadership

- Build scalable reporting and documentation processes across the region.
- Serve as senior escalation point for high-risk issues.

Requirements

- Strong knowledge of CNBV, UIF, BCRA, COAF, and local AML/PSP/VASP frameworks.
- Experience with high-volume payment operations or cross-border money transmission.
