About us

Airtm is a financial-infrastructure company building the future of the online-work economy. We are on a mission to empower the world's growing number of Digital Entrepreneurs in the Global South, giving them the financial freedom to thrive.

The problem is clear: in emerging markets, accessing the dollar economy is difficult. Cross-border payments are slow, expensive, and often lose value to inflation. This limits the potential of millions of talented individuals.

Airtm’s solution is a swift and comprehensive financial platform that facilitates low-value cross-border payments and local cash-outs. As pioneers in stablecoin-payment infrastructure, Airtm has built the most advanced cross-border payment system available on the market.

As a company married to the world of online work, Airtm will go beyond payments to build the necessary infrastructure the online-work economy needs to thrive. We are fostering an entirely new economy, giving individuals, communities, and countries the tools to take control of their financial destinies.

About the role

We are hiring a Transaction Monitoring Manager to elevate our compliance capabilities and innovate how we detect and respond to risk. This role is not for traditional alert reviewers — we want a fast, automation-minded leader who understands alert logic, data signals, risk tuning, and tooling. You’ll oversee the end-to-end monitoring lifecycle, leading a remote team across time zones while ensuring we scale our AML controls alongside growth. You’ll be a key player in evolving Airtm’s monitoring infrastructure from manual review to automated logic and risk-based prioritization.

What you’ll be responsible for

Lead a high-performing team of TM analysts, managing workflows, quality, and case escalations.
Optimize and tune TM rules across fiat and crypto use cases, with focus on alert quality and false positive reduction.
Collaborate with Fraud, Product, and Data teams to design smarter, automated alerting mechanisms.
Own TM reporting, KPIs, and SLA tracking while improving audit-readiness and system documentation.
Develop and maintain governance for rule tuning, model validation, and risk coverage assessments.
Implement QC reviews and escalate SAR-worthy cases in line with BSA/AML obligations.
Build and maintain scalable, tech-enabled processes for transaction reviews.
Drive change across Airtm’s monitoring ecosystem — bring new ideas, challenge legacy thinking, and execute improvements.
Participate in regulatory audits and serve as the SME for all TM-related matters.

Experience & skills

5+ years in AML compliance, with 2+ years managing or building TM programs.
Strong understanding of AML typologies, rule-based and behavior-based monitoring, and MSB regulatory requirements.
Demonstrated experience improving alert logic and automating workflows.
Comfortable with alerting systems, SQL, data tools, and compliance case management platforms.
Proven ability to lead remote teams across diverse geographies.
Strong communicator with a builder’s mindset and passion for efficient, scalable systems.

Nice to have

Experience at fintech, payments, crypto, or cross-border MSBs.
Hands-on with compliance tooling integrations or monitoring infrastructure.
CAMS, CFE, or similar certifications.
Knowledge of sanctions controls and crypto monitoring.
Fluency in English; Spanish, Urdu or Hindi proficiency is a plus.
