Compliance Officer (MiFID / Crypto)
About Change
Change has been around longer than most fintechs you've heard of. Our Dutch entity was incorporated in Amsterdam in 2010, and we have been MiFID II authorised since 2015, a decade of operating as a regulated investment firm. Today we serve around 120,000 verified users across all 30 EEA countries, with full passporting rights, and we are MiCA-authorised as one of the early CASPs in the Netherlands.
We operate an app-based investment platform built for retail investors. Our users trade cryptocurrencies, alongside CFDs on stocks, indices, currencies, gold, oil and other financial instruments — all in one place, on mobile, with the regulatory protections of a Dutch investment firm.
We are a small senior team with a practical, low-bureaucracy culture. Compliance is part of how we build the company, not something added at the end. We value ownership, clear processes, strong judgement and real operational discipline over unnecessary ceremony.
We are looking for a hands-on Compliance Officer who understands how regulated businesses operate in practice, not just on paper.

What we are looking for
5+ years of compliance or financial regulation experience
Strong understanding of MiFID II and AML/CFT processes
