Senior Manager - Financial Crime & Transaction Monitoring in Sydney, New South Wales at BLUEBERRY MARKETS PTY LTD

Who We Are

Every trade starts with a decision. We exist to make that decision count.

Blueberry is a regulated, founder-led global broker. Traders choose us because we’re precise: sharp pricing, fast execution and support from people who know the markets.

That precision comes down to our people. We’re a global team that follows the markets around the clock, in many languages, and takes pride in getting it right for the trader on the other end.

We’re still building. That’s the best part of joining now.

Your Next Move

Few financial crime roles come with this much room to build.

You’ll own the transaction monitoring and financial crime framework for the whole Blueberry group, across fiat and crypto. The strategy, operating model, technology and team are yours to shape, reporting directly to the Head of Compliance.

The timing matters. We’re adding entities, products, payment methods and crypto assets, and what you design will shape how we scale. You’ll be the person auditors, regulators and banking partners hear from, and the one the business turns to before it launches something new.

You’ll lead a team across Sydney and Kuala Lumpur and work closely with our MLRO, who retains responsibility for regulatory reporting decisions.

Onsite role: You’ll be based in our Sydney office. We do our best work together, in the same room.
