Localpayment is a payments infrastructure company that provides a single API to power secure, seamless cross-border payments in emerging markets. Part of Aleph Group, Localpayment offers pay-in and pay-out capabilities, treasury and FX services, virtual accounts, on/off ramps for crypto, fraud protection, smart routing and multi-currency conversion. It targets businesses (advertisers, digital platforms, fintechs and marketplaces) with a strong Latin America footprint and a roadmap for global expansion, enabling high success rates and local bank coverage to scale cross-border commerce.

📋 Description

• Own the full lifecycle of payment licenses across LATAM markets — from initial filing to renewals and regulatory amendments • Monitor and analyze regulatory changes from central banks and financial supervisory authorities (BACEN, CNBV, BCRA, SFC, CMF, SBS, and others), and translate them into actionable internal guidance • Build and maintain direct relationships with regulators — coordinate responses to inquiries and represent Localpayment in regulatory interactions • Support the design and implementation of AML/KYC programs aligned with local regulations in each country where we operate • Lead regulatory analysis for expansion into new markets, including license mapping, risk assessment, and timelines • Collaborate with Product, Tech, and Ops teams to ensure regulatory compliance is embedded in how we build and operate — not bolted on after the fact • Maintain and update internal compliance policies, procedures, and manuals to reflect evolving regulatory landscapes across the region • Use AI tools (Claude, NotebookLM, or equivalent) to accelerate regulatory research, policy drafting, and compliance documentation.

🎯 Requirements

• 3–5 years of experience in Regulatory Affairs, Compliance, or Legal roles within fintechs or payments companies. • Direct, hands-on experience with payment or e-money licenses in at least 2 LATAM markets. Experience with cross-border payments, PSP ecosystems, or acquiring bank relationships is a great plus. • Working knowledge of AML/KYC/PLD requirements across the region. • Familiarity with key regulators: BACEN, CNBV, BCRA, SFC, CMF, SBS/BCRP. • Law, accounting, or related degree with a regulatory or financial focus. • Fluent Spanish (required) · Intermediate-advanced English (required). Portuguese (a strong plus for Brazil market coverage) • Ability to translate complex regulatory language into clear, actionable business guidance. • Autonomous and proactive — you spot regulatory risks before they become operational problems

🏖️ Benefits

• Real regulatory complexity, real scope. You'll manage licenses across 17 active markets, with expansion ongoing. This isn't a single-country compliance role — it's a regional portfolio with meaningful stakes. • Backed by Aleph Group's global network. Operating in 130+ markets, Aleph gives Localpayment access, credibility, and resources that most fintechs our size don't have. That matters when you're negotiating with regulators. • Your work shapes how we expand. Every new market Localpayment enters starts with the regulatory groundwork you lay. You're not supporting the business — you're enabling it. • Competitive compensation + growth opportunities. USD-denominated salary, performance bonus, learning budget, and direct access to senior leadership from day one.
