The Opportunity

As the People Leader of a Risk Merchant Monitoring Team, you'll be steering the risk assessment process for customers, both merchants and partners. Your leadership will ensure streamlined processes in regards of ongoing due diligence.

The risk assessment done by the Merchant Monitoring Team could be a part of periodic reviews or triggered by Event Driven Reviews, both events trigger a new risk assessment. The process of risk assessing and analyzing an existing merchant’s account ensures that we have updated KYC data and assess any changes that might affect the merchant’s risk level. The risk assessment of the merchant focuses on controlling and updating existing KYC information and reviewing the merchant’s behavior and data from an AML perspective.

The role is new for the market and requires setting up a new team. The team structure is now having four people to start with, and the team will grow as well. In merchant monitoring, there are already team managers for other markets that you can count on to get support. Your team will be based in Warsaw, but it will work with different clients and different regions as well. The role covers all aspect of team management.
