Join Wirex and play a key role in shaping the future of financial crime prevention at the cutting edge of crypto and fintech. As our Risk & Compliance team continues to grow, we’re looking for a Financial Crime Team Leader to join us in Singapore and help drive our mission to build a safer, smarter financial ecosystem.
The Role
We’re looking for an experienced Financial Crime professional ready to take the next step into team leadership. As a Senior Analyst, you’ll lead by example - supporting your peers, mentoring less experienced team members, and working closely with the wider Compliance function.
Based in Singapore, reporting to the Financial Crime Operations Manager, you’ll supervise a team of analysts working on AML, fraud investigations, STR reporting, and enhanced due diligence across fiat and crypto transactions.
Grow With Us
Technical competence as a Senior Analyst is important - but just as valuable to us are your curiosity, initiative, and appetite to grow. While some leadership experience is helpful, it doesn’t need to be formal. Maybe you’ve supported or coached less experienced team members, led by example, or taken the lead on projects - those are all great signs you’re ready for the next step.
This is an entry-level team leader role, not a position for seasoned managers. It’s designed for someone ready to step into their first formal leadership role, or a newer supervisor looking for a fresh challenge in a fast-moving fintech environment. So even if your CV doesn’t tick every box, please don’t rule yourself out. If you're passionate about preventing financial crime and want to work in a well-supported leadership role, we want to hear from you.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Co-ordinating team workflows and supporting continuous improvement.
- Reviewing and filing suspicious transaction reports (STRs)
- Leading by example and mentoring junior analysts.
- Supporting ongoing AML monitoring, EDD reviews, and internal assurance
- Providing MI reporting to senior stakeholders
- Collaborating with global compliance team members.
- Supporting training and awareness initiatives.
About You
