As a registered Futures Commission Merchant (FCM) and Retail Foreign Exchange Dealer (RFED) with the CFTC and Forex Dealer Member (FDM) with the NFA, OANDA operates at the highest regulatory standards. In this critical role, you will report directly to the Global Head of Compliance (with a dotted line to the CEO) and serve as the ultimate anchor for our US regulatory, AML, and operational risk management.

What we are looking for: - Experience: 10+ years of relevant regulatory and AML experience within a similar financial services environment, plus 6+ years in a leadership/management position. - Education: Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Business, Law, or a related discipline. - Expertise: Deep, practical knowledge of NFA and CFTC rules, regulations, and interpretive notices. - Leadership Style: A "hands-on" leader with gravitas who can seamlessly navigate complex information, drive change management, and communicate effectively with stakeholders across the firm. Collaborative & Compliant: A fast-paced, execution-oriented culture where common-sense business solutions meet strict regulatory excellence. ___ At OANDA, to help us efficiently process applications, we use AI-driven tools to help source and rank candidates based on professional experience and skills.
