Description
About the Role
This role is initially structured as a consulting engagement. In addition to the responsibilities outlined below, the candidate will support the establishment of the initial operational infrastructure of Xsolla Payment Network EU B.V. It is intended that this engagement will transition into a permanent, full-time Head of Compliance position.
We are building an international payment business in the EU and are looking for an experienced Head of Compliance to join us at the ground level. This is a pivotal, hands-on role: your first and most critical mission will be to lead the full end-to-end process of obtaining a Payment Institution (PI) or Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license from De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB), including preparing all required documentation, managing the regulatory dialogue and steering the application to approval.
Once the license is secured and the business is live, you will own the ongoing compliance strategy, framework, and culture of the organisation.
Beyond the Netherlands, you'll be part of a wider team driving Xsolla's global licensing efforts, from MSO registration in Hong Kong to Money Transmitter Licenses across the US. This is a rare opportunity to build genuine cross-border regulatory expertise, working alongside colleagues navigating different regulators, legal frameworks, and market entry strategies, all in service of one connected payments network.
