This is a strategic leadership role where you’ll design, implement, and oversee a scalable, efficient, and digitally enabled AML/KYC framework that supports our fast-growing client base — including our alternative investment funds and corporate clients.
You will manage a skilled local team and drive collaboration with our Center of Excellence in Sofia, ensuring consistency, quality, and regulatory compliance.
