Position Summary & Responsibilities

Lightspark is creating the Money Grid, modern, open financial infrastructure that makes payments accessible, affordable, and instant for businesses and users worldwide. We're challenging the status quo, updating the current system, and empowering our partners to build better solutions. Together, we're building the most advanced financial infrastructure, open, instant, and global, inspiring a future where anyone, anywhere can access the full potential of digital money.

We are looking for a hands-on Regulatory Compliance Officer to help run the compliance framework of Lightspark's Estonian regulated entity. The role will be responsible for keeping us on top of our regulatory obligations as the business grows, turning requirements into working processes, checks, documents and registers that stand up to supervisory review. You will work closely with the head of the compliance function, management, and teams across the business, giving practical compliance support that helps the company move forward without taking unnecessary risks. If you are good at building structure, want to own processes from start to finish and are interested in how a regulated fintech works from the inside, this is a good opportunity to make a real difference.

As Regulatory Compliance Officer, you will run the day-to-day side of our compliance processes. Your work will cover compliance monitoring and testing, outsourcing oversight, suitability (fit and proper) assessments, conflicts of interest and market-abuse controls, complaints support, internal and supervisory reporting and the maintenance of our policies. You will also follow regulatory developments, prepare compliance input for new products, and support our communication with the regulator. This is a second-line role where regulatory knowledge and consistent application of it matter equally.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Maintain our internal policies and procedures, both within the review cycle and when products, processes or regulation change, including gathering input, preparing redlines, keeping version control and preparing approval packs.
Prepare internal compliance reporting and keep the compliance issue log current.
