One application puts you forward for compliance officer jobs across Africa.

The role

As a compliance officer, you make sure your organisation follows the laws, regulations and internal rules that apply to it. You write and update policies, run KYC and anti-money laundering checks, monitor transactions and alerts, train staff and report to management and regulators. When something goes wrong, you investigate and recommend fixes.

Skills employers ask for

  • KYC and AML/CFT
  • Regulatory monitoring
  • Policy writing
  • Transaction monitoring
  • Sanctions screening
  • Staff awareness training

Who is hiring

Banks, microfinance institutions, insurers, mobile money operators, fintechs, money transfer companies and mining and energy groups hire compliance officers. Roles are mostly on-site or hybrid at head offices, and remittance and fintech companies serving the diaspora increasingly hire compliance profiles who can work remotely.

Background and career path

Compliance officers usually hold a master's in law, finance or banking, often after a few years in audit, risk or branch operations. Certifications such as CAMS or ICA help, and they grow into head of compliance or chief compliance officer.
