Join to apply for the Head of Compliance role at Swan

Swan is Europe’s embedded banking specialist.


We empower software companies to embed banking features like accounts, cards, and payments directly into their products, under their own brand.


Swan processes over €1.5 billion in monthly transactions for more than 150 companies—like Pennylane, Indy, Agicap, Libeo, and Lucca.


Founded in 2019, the company has received growth capital from leading investors such as Lakestar, Accel, Creandum, Bpifrance and Eight Roads.


Swan is a principal member of Mastercard and a licensed financial institution, regulated by the French banking authority (ACPR).

Banking belongs in business software

Many software companies already serve small businesses incredibly well:


helping them send invoices, run payroll, manage inventory, and more.


They’re on a mission to become the central hub for managing every aspect of business life.

But when it comes to financial workflows, there’s still a gap.


Too many critical tasks like managing cash flow, tracking payments, or reconciling accounts happen outside the software, across spreadsheets, email threads, banking portals.

It’s a missed opportunity.


Business software shouldn’t just record financial activity — it should run it.

Swan’s Compliance team keeps our banking features safe and secure, always balancing business, legal, regulatory, customer support, and other considerations.


As both a technology and financial services company, our Compliance team ensures these aspects fit together seamlessly.

As an Electronic Money Institution, Swan faces regulatory challenges such as fighting money laundering, protecting clients' funds, and working with legitimate partners.

Swan is looking for a Head of Compliance to lead our compliance team in Europe.

• Draft and update the compliance procedure framework.



• Revise risk mappings and the classification of compliance risks.



• Formalize and conduct second-level controls, documenting and tracking recommendations.



• Document compliance opinions for new services/products or activities.



• Stay informed about regulations applicable to financial companies, including AML/CFT, data protection, and others.



• Handle reporting to the ACPR and other regulators.

• Manage and lead the Compliance team, providing guidance, mentorship, and coaching.



• Conduct training and awareness sessions on Compliance topics.



• Drive people management initiatives, including hiring, performance reviews, and employee development.



• Develop and implement strategies aligned with company goals.

Join our dynamic compliance team, reporting to the Chief Risk Officer.


Currently, the team has ten members and is expanding.


The Compliance team collaborates closely with the Fincrime, Compliance Ops, and Internal Control teams, as well as with Sales and Product teams.

You’re a great match if:

• You have over 10 years of experience in compliance or audit within a financial institution, preferably in a Fintech or fast-paced environment.



• You have excellent knowledge of banking regulations such as AML, PSD2, GDPR, and others.
  
  
  Knowledge of additional European regulations is a plus.



• You have significant experience leading and managing high-performing teams.
