דרושים Regulatory Affairs Specialist בתל אביב

About LAYA

LAYA is a fast-growing fintech building multi-currency payment solutions for global travelers. Backed by Altshuler Shaham, we operate with the agility of a startup and the stability of a major financial group. Our platform supports multi-currency wallets, card issuing, FX services, and cross-border payments — and we recently obtained our own Mastercard issuing license.

About the Role

We are looking for someone who can lead company-level compliance programs and regulatory obligations, drive cross-functional projects, and conduct hands-on compliance execution.

You will own broad regulatory responsibilities that shape how LAYA operates as an issuer, a payments company, and part of a regulated financial group.

What You Will Lead

• Own and manage LAYA’s corporate compliance frameworks — covering payments regulation, issuer obligations, and internal group standards

• Act as the primary compliance interface with the Israel Securities Authority (ISA) — including regulatory reporting and ongoing supervision

• Manage Mastercard compliance obligations (QMR, SAFE, SAR) and ensure full alignment with scheme requirements

• Work directly with Altshuler Shaham’s Chief Compliance Officer to maintain high standards of governance and regulatory integrity

• Serve as the compliance lead for external partners: Mastercard account managers, processors, acquirers, and additional ecosystem stakeholders

• Conduct focused AML and KYC procedures when required, ensuring policy adherence and supporting the company’s broader risk and compliance posture

What We’re Looking For

• 2+ years in compliance, regulatory affairs, financial regulation, or legal roles (payments, fintech, capital markets, or financial institutions)

• Background in legal, regulatory, or policy work – compliance officers, legal counsels, or regulatory project managers welcome

• Demonstrated experience working with ISA or other financial regulators

• Strong understanding of the payments ecosystem, mandatory

• Experience with the Mastercard scheme or other card networks – strong advantage

• Ability to translate regulation into operational and technical requirements

• High ownership, independent work style, and ability to manage multiple regulatory workstreams

• Excellent English (written and spoken), as most external interactions are international

• Knowledge of FX and multi-currency operations – advantage

Who This Role Is For

You thrive in environments where compliance is strategic, not administrative. You enjoy interpreting regulation, advising teams, leading processes, and making sure an innovative product is built responsibly and correctly.
