About the Role:<\/p>\n
As Senior Compliance Associate, AML & Regulatory Compliance, you will support Apollo\u2019s day-to-day compliance program, with a focus on AML\/CFT, regulatory compliance, policy administration, monitoring, and training. You will work closely with finance, credit, product, operations , people, and external advisors (inc. legal counsel)\u00a0 to help keep key compliance obligations on track and support Apollo\u2019s responsibilities.<\/p>\n
This is a hands-on role for someone with 3\u20135 years of experience who is practical, organized, detail-oriented, and willing to roll up their sleeves.<\/p>\n
Responsibilities<\/p>\n
\tOwn day-to-day compliance coordination and tracking. Maintain compliance trackers, calendars, registers, and evidence files across key areas such as AML\/CFT, data protection, corporate compliance, policy reviews, declarations, and regulatory filings.\u00a0
\n\tSupport core AML and data protection processes. Help maintain practical controls around AML\/CFT, KYC-related compliance support, sanctions\/PEP screening workflows, privacy notices, data subject requests, breach escalation, and records of processing activities. Escalate complex matters quickly and keep documentation organized and audit-ready.
\n\tKeep policies, templates, and procedures up to date. Coordinate periodic reviews of compliance-related policies, notices, templates, and trackers..
\n\tPartner with teams on real operational issues. Work closely with Product, Credit, CX, People, Procurement, and Operations to answer routine compliance questions, spot risks early, and make sure new processes, vendors, customer journeys, and communications meet minimum compliance standards before launch.
\n\tSupport third-party and contract compliance processes. Help coordinate third-party due diligence, NDAs, data processing agreements, and contract compliance checks.
\n\tRun training and awareness activities. Coordinate and support compliance training across teams and field teams, including AML, data protection, code of conduct, and related topics. Track completion, maintain records, and help improve training materials over time.
\n\tPrepare reporting and escalate issues clearly. Prepare recurring compliance updates, organize supporting evidence, and escalate incidents, overdue actions, policy gaps, or potential breaches in a timely way. Support responses to auditors, and internal stakeholders where needed.
\n\tCollaborate with regulators and supervisory authorities. Support day-to-day engagement with regulators, including CBK and equivalent authorities in other jurisdictions, by helping coordinate submissions, information requests, follow-ups, and regulatory correspondence.
\n\tBuild with ownership and practicality. This is a roll-up-your-sleeves role. You\u2019re expected to follow through, stay close to the details, keep things moving, and improve processes over time rather than just flagging issues from the sidelines.
