About the role
Compliance Manager 🌍 About Outpost
Outpost is cross-border commerce infrastructure, built by veterans of Revolut, Adyen, Airwallex, and Wayflyer. We operate dedicated local entities across 58 jurisdictions, giving enterprise merchants access to local acquiring, alternative payment methods and full tax compliance through a single integration. We handle the local complexity so merchants can focus on growth.
We are building a local team in Turkey and are growing fast. This is a foundational hire for our Turkish operations.
🏗️ The role
You will be the on-the-ground owner of compliance for Outpost in Turkey. In Turkey we act as commercial agent for international merchants, concluding sales in Turkish lira on their behalf while a licensed local payment provider handles the payments. Your job is to keep that model compliant and trusted: by our partners, by our merchants and by the authorities. This is a hands-on role spanning merchant due diligence, AML and fraud controls, consumer-law compliance and regulatory relationships. You'll work closely with our global legal, compliance, finance and operations teams, plus Turkish legal counsel.
📋 What you'll do
🛡️ Compliance & Financial Crime
- Own the local compliance programme for Outpost in Turkey: policies, controls, monitoring and reporting, aligned with our global compliance framework
- Apply Outpost's global AML and sanctions standards locally, including merchant due diligence (KYB), ongoing monitoring and escalation of unusual activity
- Review merchants for compliance with Turkish consumer-protection and e-commerce rules before and after go-live
- Oversee refund, chargeback and dispute patterns from a compliance and fraud perspective, working with our payment partners
- Maintain the Turkey compliance obligations tracker and make sure one-off and recurring obligations are met on time
🤝 Regulatory & Partner Relationships
- Act as the local point of contact for compliance matters with our licensed payment provider and banking partners, including their due-diligence and audit requests
- Support correspondence with the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye (CBRT) and other authorities, together with global legal and local counsel
- Monitor Turkish regulatory developments (payment services, e-commerce, consumer protection, data protection, foreign exchange) and flag implications for Outpost and merchants
- Work with the local finance and operations team on tax, invoicing and fund-repatriation compliance
- Train local and global colleagues on Turkish compliance requirements as the team grows
🔍 What we're looking for
- 5+ years in compliance at a Turkish payment institution, e-money institution or PSP
- Hands-on AML/KYC and fraud experience, including merchant onboarding and transaction monitoring
- Strong working knowledge of Turkey's payment-services framework, CBRT regulations and financial-crime expectations
- Familiarity with Turkish consumer-protection, e-commerce and data-protection rules is advantageous
- Experience dealing with regulators, acquirers or bank compliance teams
- Comfortable operating in fast-moving, internationally distributed teams
- Fluent Turkish; working English required for global team communication
