Title: Compliance Officer
Company: TalentLoft Consulting
Location: Ikeja, Lagos State, Nigeria
Our client is a CBN-licensed International Money Transfer Operator (IMTO) and are hiring their first dedicated compliance professional. This is a greenfield role — you are not joining an existing compliance function, you are building one. From AML/CFT frameworks to client onboarding redesign, CBN engagement to internal SOPs, you will own it all from Day 1.
What You Will Be Doing: ✅ Own and manage the company's CBN IMTO operating licence and all regulatory correspondence ✅ Build and implement a full AML/CFT programme including policies, CDD/EDD procedures, and STR reporting to the NFIU ✅ Serve as the designated MLRO under the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act 2022 ✅ Redesign the client and partner onboarding process to be compliant, efficient, and industry standard ✅ Draft and implement all compliance policies, SOPs, and internal controls from scratch ✅ Establish a sanctions screening and transaction monitoring framework ✅ Liaise directly with the CBN, NFIU, and other relevant regulatory bodies
What We Are Looking For: 🔹 Minimum 5 years in compliance, AML/CFT, or financial crime within Nigerian financial services 🔹 Strong working knowledge of CBN regulations, NFIU guidelines, the ML(PP)A 2022, and FATF standards 🔹 Proven experience building compliance frameworks or policies from scratch — not just maintaining existing ones 🔹 Direct experience with KYC/KYB, CDD/EDD, and client onboarding processes 🔹 IMTO, fintech, or payments company experience is a strong advantage 🔹 CAMS or ICA certification is a plus but not a dealbreaker 🔹 You hold a compliance position under commercial pressure — you find solutions, not just problems
