Head of Compliance

A bit about the role…

We're after a compliance leader who sees regulation as a runway, not a roadblock. In this role, the Head of Compliance will shape and lead our compliance strategy end-to-end, driving KYC, AML/CTF, and regulatory programs with precision, while fostering a culture of innovation and high performance. You'll inspire your team, engage directly with regulators, and spot opportunities where others see only red tape. If you've got the entrepreneurial spirit to turn compliance into a competitive edge, this is your stage

A bit about us…

Fusion opened its doors to clients all around the world starting in mid-2019. Last year, we grew revenue and our client growth by triple digits, and we're on pace to do far more than that in 2025, outpacing our competitors who are many years older than us. We are a talented team of young professionals who deliver a range of trading products focused on providing the lowest costs for global clients looking to trade Forex, Cryptos, Stocks, Commodities and more. Every month, our clients trade north of $250 billion on our trading platforms all across the globe. We have big dreams, know-how, and a high bar for the talent we want on the bus with us to get there. But, while finance can be serious stuff, we aren't afraid to have a laugh along the way. We're in South Yarra (Goldfields House) complete with 6-star amenities like two commercial grade coffee machines, sparkling water taps, pool table and a big renovation later in the year to double the amount of space for our rockstar team. Fusion Markets is a place that cares deeply about our clients' trading experience and how we can improve it but even more about the people at Fusion who help make it all happen
