About Us

Félix is seeking a Director of Financial Crimes Compliance to lead and scale the operational effectiveness of our AML, sanctions, and transaction monitoring program.

This is a highly technical and operational role for a builder-operator who can run financial crime controls with rigor, translate regulatory requirements into scalable workflows, and partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Data & Tools to strengthen Félix’s control environment.

The ideal candidate is equally comfortable reviewing a complex suspicious activity case, tuning an alerting workflow, defining requirements for new compliance tools, and using data to drive better decisions. This person will play a central role in making Félix’s financial crime program more scalable, more measurable,



and more resilient as the business grows.

Responsibilities

- Lead day-to-day execution of Félix’s AML/CFT and sanctions operations, including transaction monitoring, alert triage, investigations, escalations, sanctions screening, and case disposition.
- Serve as the senior escalation point for complex, high-risk, or high-visibility financial crime cases.
- Improve the effectiveness of transaction monitoring and screening controls through tuning, calibration, testing, and ongoing optimization.
- Identify false-positive drivers, control gaps, typology blind spots, and operational bottlenecks, and turn them into actionable remediation plans.
- Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Data & Tools, and external vendors to improve compliance systems, workflows, automations, and data integrity.
- Translate regulatory requirements and operational needs into clear business and technical requirements for tooling enhancements and new control builds.
- Define, track, and report KPIs and KRIs related to alert volumes, investigation turnaround times, quality, SAR pipeline health, sanctions match handling, and overall control performance.
- Conduct root-cause analysis on operational issues, recurring patterns, and control failures, and drive corrective action.
- Oversee development and maintenance of procedures, control documentation, governance routines, and evidentiary standards to support audits, partner reviews, and regulatory examinations.
- Monitor relevant financial crime regulatory developments and help ensure timely operational implementation.
- Lead, coach, and develop a high-performing financial crime operations team with a strong culture of accountability, urgency, and continuous improvement.

Requirements

- 5+ years of experience in AML, sanctions, financial crime operations, transaction monitoring, or related compliance roles in fintech, payments, money transmission, banking, or similar regulated environments.
- 3+ years of people management or team leadership experience in an operational compliance setting.
- Strong knowledge of BSA/AML, suspicious activity monitoring and escalation,



OFAC/sanctions screening, KYC/CDD/EDD, and financial crime controls.
- Proven experience running or materially improving transaction monitoring and/or sanctions operations.
- Demonstrated ability to work hands-on with product managers, engineers, data teams, and vendors to improve compliance systems and workflows.
- Strong analytical and operational problem-solving skills, with experience using metrics and data to drive decisions.
- Comfort working with dashboards, spreadsheets, and case management or investigation tools.
- Strong written and verbal English communication skills, including the ability to draft procedures, requirements, investigation summaries, and executive-ready reporting.
- Experience supporting regulatory exams, audits, or partner reviews.
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous, high-growth environment.
- These are the applicable requisites, although equivalent competencies in any of the above will also be considered.

Nice to have

- Experience in cross-border payments, remittances, card funding, or Latin America-related payment corridors.
- Experience with compliance tooling such as Sardine, Unit21, ComplyAdvantage, Alloy, or similar platforms.
- Experience with rule tuning, model governance, alert optimization, or control validation.
- Familiarity with identity resolution, deduplication, or person-centric compliance architecture.
- Startup or scale-up experience building processes and tooling in a still-evolving environment.
- ACAMS, CFCS, ICA, or similar certification
- Spanish fluency strongly preferred.

What We Offer
