🔍 We’re hiring: Senior Compliance Risk Manager & MLRO

Coinify is looking for a Senior Compliance Risk Manager & MLRO to take senior ownership of our compliance risk setup in a regulated fintech and crypto environment.

In this role, you will act as MLRO while leading Coinify’s compliance risk agenda across onboarding risk, AML, internal controls, and regulatory governance. You will work closely with Compliance, Engineering, and Sales, and have a direct line to the Board. You will play a central role in shaping how regulatory requirements and risk management are implemented in practice — not just on paper.

The role sits at the intersection of compliance, AML, risk, and technology, and is ideal for someone who combines strong regulatory understanding with a pragmatic, hands-on mindset and the ability to turn frameworks into operational reality.

🧩 Your role and responsibilities

• Take end-to-end ownership of Coinify’s compliance risk landscape

• Own and continuously develop risk models, including onboarding risk models and enterprise risk frameworks, ensuring they reflect real customer behaviour, transaction flows, and crypto exposure

• Maintain a clear, operational view of Coinify’s overall risk exposure and translate risk data into actionable insight supporting proactive risk appetite decisions

• Act as MLRO, with overall responsibility for AML governance, escalation, reporting, and regulatory dialogue

• Ensure crypto-related financial crime risks are clearly understood, prioritised, and effectively addressed across the organisation

• Own and maintain Coinify’s GRC setup (Vanta), including risk registers, controls, assessments, and documentation

• Drive accountability across the business by ensuring risk owners translate identified compliance, crypto, and operational risks into concrete actions

• Work hands-on with Engineering, Sales, Product, and Operations to embed risk management into daily workflows and decision-making

  
  

👤 Who we’re looking for someone with

• A genuine interest in crypto and fintech

• Senior experience within compliance, AML, risk management, or regulatory roles, preferably from fintech or financial services

• Experience acting as MLRO or in a comparable senior AML role

• A strong understanding of onboarding risk, internal controls, ICT frameworks, and governance

• Hands-on experience with risk models, scoring methodologies, and compliance-driven risk management

• Eligibility to meet the fit and proper requirements of Finanstilsynet, including suitability for MLRO responsibilities

• Based in Denmark and able to maintain regular on-site presence in Copenhagen

• Professional maturity, sound judgement, and the ability to collaborate effectively with both technical teams and senior stakeholders

• A pragmatic, collaborative mindset and a natural team player

• A relevant higher education degree in finance, audit, law, engineering, or a related field
