Full-time

Paramount Commerce

We are Paramount Commerce, a leading fintech company focused on simplifying payments in Canada. Since the early 2000s, we have redefined online purchasing by introducing a way to pay directly from a bank account, bypassing credit cards or e-wallets. Our commitment is to provide the highest standards of security and risk management that support seamless payments and rich data.

As we strengthen our position in Canada, we are strategically positioning ourselves for global expansion. To achieve our goals, we are seeking talented professionals who can push the boundaries of innovation, contributing to our growth across Canada and worldwide. Join us at Paramount Commerce, where we not only follow fintech trends but shape them

Ready to safeguard the future of digital payments? We’re looking for an ambitious Compliance Manager & AML Officer to serve as a key pillar in our Second Line of Defence (2LoD). Partnering directly with the Director, AML FIU & High Risk Client Management, you’ll tackle high-stakes financial crime risks, oversee complex EDD workflows, and keep our regulatory operations operating at gold-standard performance. We operate at FinTech speed: you are hands-on, relentlessly curious, and motivated by the challenge of mastering an evolving regulatory frontier.

What You'll Do

  • Transaction Monitoring & Investigations: Monitor continuous EFT flows to detect unusual patterns, execute deep-dive financial crime investigations, resolve complex sanctions and PEP alerts, and formulate risk-based exit recommendations for offboarding.
  • High-Risk Onboarding & EDD: Oversee EDD and SEDD operations, manage temporary KYC/CDD exception workflows with Senior Management and the CAMLO, and serve as the primary escalation point for complex onboarding inquiries.
  • Regulatory Compliance & Reporting: Drive bulletproof execution of FINTRAC filings including Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs) and Electronic Funds Transfer Reports (EFTRs) within mandatory thresholds, track regulatory shifts, and support policy and procedure updates.
  • Audit Readiness & Risk Methodology: Maintain the AML/ATF Risk Assessment Methodology for our EFT product scope, compile evidence packages for regulatory exams and legal subpoenas, track MAP remediation items, and support third-party risk evaluations.
  • Training & Advisory Culture: Develop and deliver targeted AML/ATF training modules for high-risk teams, officers, and Board members, tracking completion metrics and refreshing materials alongside operational changes.

Who You Are

  • Experienced 2LoD Professional: Proven track record in AML operations, financial crime investigations, or high-risk client management within a fast-paced, regulated financial services environment.
  • Fintech Regulatory Expert: Deep working knowledge of the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (PCMLTFA), FINTRAC guidelines, economic sanctions, and Retail Payment Activities Act (RPAA) frameworks.
  • High-Risk Onboarding & EDD Specialist: Hands-on experience evaluating complex corporate structures, managing SEDD/EDD mechanics, and evaluating high-risk customer portfolios in high-volume payment ecosystems.
  • Decisive Risk Evaluator: Confident making independent, risk-based determinations, evaluating transaction monitoring rules, and knowing precisely when to escalate edge cases to Senior Management.
  • Strong Technical Writer & Reporter: Exceptional formal writing skills, with the ability to draft clear procedures, defensible investigation reports, STR submissions, and executive risk summaries.

Why Paramount Commerce?

  • Canadian Company with over 22 years of history
  • Competitive salary + performance bonus
  • Generous Vacation + Summer Fridays
  • Health & Dental Benefits + Wellness Spending Account
  • Retirement savings matching plan
  • Hybrid work environment – Thursdays in Toronto office

Basée au Canada et ayant son siège social à Toronto, Paramount Commerce est une entreprise de technologie financière qui vise à rendre les paiements plus simples et plus sécuritaires. Depuis le début des années 2000, nous contribuons à transformer les paiements en ligne en permettant aux consommateurs de payer directement à partir de leur compte bancaire, sans recourir aux cartes de crédit ou aux portefeuilles électroniques.

Fiers membres de Paiements Canada, nous sommes étroitement liés à l’évolution du paysage financier et veillons à ce que nos solutions demeurent conformes, fiables et tournées vers l’avenir. La sécurité, la gestion du risque et l’intégrité des données sont au cœur de tout ce que nous développons. Nous concevons des solutions de paiement fluides, réfléchies et évolutives.

Alors que nous poursuivons notre croissance au Canada et préparons notre expansion vers de nouveaux marchés, nous recherchons des personnes curieuses, réfléchies et axées sur les données, qui aiment résoudre des problèmes complexes de bout en bout et faire progresser des idées du concept à l’exécution dans un environnement rapide et itératif.

Vous êtes prêt ou prête à protéger l’avenir des paiements numériques? Nous recherchons un ou une responsable de la conformité et de la lutte contre le blanchiment d’argent (LBA) ambitieux(se) pour agir à titre de pilier essentiel au sein de notre deuxième ligne de défense (2LoD). En partenariat direct avec la direction de la gestion des risques de la criminalité financière (FIU) et des clients à haut risque, vous vous attaquerez à des enjeux majeurs de criminalité financière, superviserez des processus complexes de diligence raisonnable renforcée (EDD) et veillerez à ce que nos opérations réglementaires répondent aux normes d’excellence les plus élevées. Nous évoluons au rythme du secteur de la fintech : vous êtes une personne de terrain, d’une curiosité insatiable et stimulée par le défi de maîtriser un paysage réglementaire en constante évolution.

Vos responsabilités

  • Surveillance des transactions et enquêtes: Surveiller en continu les flux de transferts électroniques de fonds (TEF) pour détecter les schémas inhabituels, mener des enquêtes approfondies sur la criminalité financière, traiter les alertes complexes liées aux sanctions et aux personnes politiquement exposées (PPE), et formuler des recommandations de désengagement fondées sur le risque pour le retrait de clients (offboarding).
  • Intégration des clients à haut risque et diligence raisonnable:Superviser les opérations de diligence raisonnable renforcée (EDD) et très renforcée (SEDD), gérer les processus de dérogation temporaire aux exigences de connaissance du client (KYC/CDD) avec la haute direction et le ou la chef de la conformité en matière de LBA (CAMLO), et agir à titre de principal point d’escalade pour les demandes complexes d’intégration.
  • Conformité réglementaire et déclaration: Assurer la soumission rigoureuse des déclarations à CANAFE, notamment les déclarations d’opérations soupçonneuses (DOS) et de télévirements (EFTR) dans les délais obligatoires, suivre les évolutions réglementaires et participer à la mise à jour des politiques et procédures.
  • Préparation aux vérifications et méthodologie du risque: Maintenir la méthodologie d’évaluation des risques de blanchiment d’argent et de financement des activités terroristes (LAB/FAT) pour notre gamme de produits TEF, préparer les dossiers de preuve pour les examens réglementaires et les assignations à témoigner (subpoenas), assurer le suivi des mesures correctives (MAP) et participer à l’évaluation des risques liés aux tiers.
  • Formation et culture de conseil: Concevoir et animer des modules de formation ciblés en LAB/FAT pour les équipes gérant les secteurs à haut risque, les cadres et les membres du conseil d'administration, tout en assurant le suivi des métriques de participation et l'actualisation du matériel au rythme des changements opérationnels.

Votre profil

  • Spécialiste d'expérience de la 2LoD : Parcours démontré dans les opérations de LBA, les enquêtes sur la criminalité financière ou la gestion de clients à haut risque dans un environnement de services financiers réglementé et dynamique.
  • Expertise réglementaire en fintech : Connaissance approfondie de la Loi sur le recyclage des produits de la criminalité et le financement des activités terroristes (LRPCFAT), des directives de CANAFE, des sanctions économiques et du cadre de la Loi sur les activités de paiement détail (LAPD).
  • Spécialisation en intégration et EDD pour clients à haut risque : Expérience pratique de l’évaluation de structures d’entreprises complexes, de la gestion des processus EDD/SEDD et de l’analyse de portefeuilles de clients à haut risque au sein d’écosystèmes de paiement à grand volume.
  • Évaluation décisionnelle des risques : Capacité à poser des jugements autonomes fondés sur le risque, à évaluer les règles de surveillance des transactions et à savoir précisément quand escalader les cas limites à la haute direction.
  • Solides compétences en rédaction technique et communication : Excellente plume professionnelle permettant de rédiger des procédures claires, des rapports d’enquête rigoureux, des déclarations d'opérations soupçonneuses (DOS) ainsi que des synthèses exécutives sur les risques destinés à la direction.
