Nu Global AG is Nu's Swiss entity, based in Zug. It went live in October 2026 with its AML/CFT and sanctions framework already in place: entity risk analysis, internal directives, customer risk classification, monitoring and screening standards, and MROS reporting. The same team also drives the next steps of Nu's expansion in Europe.

We are looking for a senior AML professional to act as deputy to the Head of AML/CFTP & Sanctions. In 2027 you will take over the day to day MLRO duties of the Swiss entity, so the Head of AML can focus on strategy, and you will help take the framework built in Switzerland to new markets in Europe, adapting it to the new EU AML package (AMLR and AMLD6).

You will join a small, senior team where everyone owns their decisions and does the work themselves. You will work directly with senior management, the first line, our auditors and our regulators.

• Act as deputy to the AML Compliance Officer (MLRO) and stand in whenever needed

• Run the day to day MLRO activities: escalated cases, decisions on reports to MROS under Art. 9 AMLA through goAML, and sanctions duties towards SECO, including asset freezes

• Review and challenge the first line: sample based quality assurance of alert handling and case files, and sign off on changes to transaction monitoring rules and screening thresholds

• Keep the framework current: entity risk analysis, internal directives and procedures, and the annual AML/CFT report to the Board

• Issue the financial crime opinion on new products, features and material changes at the Product Risk Committee

• Be the point of contact for our SRO, MROS, SECO and the external AML auditor, and for due diligence requests from partner and correspondent institutions

• Own the AML/CFT training plan and the training duty under Art. 8 AMLA

• As Nu expands in Europe, adapt the Swiss framework to the new EU AML package (AMLR and AMLD6) and turn it into binding control requirements for product, engineering and operations

• Served as MLRO, AML Compliance Officer or formal deputy at a regulated financial intermediary in Switzerland, supervised by FINMA or an SRO, or in the EU (mandatory)

• Lives in Switzerland today (mandatory)

• Meets the fit and proper requirements that regulators apply to AML officers (mandatory)

• Holds the CAMS certification (mandatory)

• Speaks fluent English, our working language, and fluent German (mandatory)

• Has practical experience with the Swiss AML framework…
