We 💛 small business

We founded Holvi in 2011, in Helsinki. As self-employed people wading through oceans of paperwork, we noticed something funny going on – traditional banks were giving us the cold shoulder. Why not help ourselves? We asked. And so, with time and effort (and lots of coffee), we mastered small business finance – and Holvi was born.

Our vision is simple: Eliminate the distractions of financial admin and simplify work life, because running a business is hard enough. Small businesses shouldn’t have to worry about spreadsheets and lost receipts.

Since our inception as a pioneering fintech, we've experienced our fair share of challenges and growth. We explored different paths, and from those experiences, we've evolved. Today, we stand as a team-owned and profitable company, proud of our journey.

Right now, we’re looking for a hands-on Compliance Manager (AML/AFC/CTF/Sanctions) to join our Compliance & Risk department (second line of defence) in Vienna from May 2025 onwards. If you want to help us make self-employment a little easier, Holvi is for you.

An opportunity to do things right

You believe compliance is an opportunity to do things right and you consider yourself successful if you help others to succeed. As a Compliance Manager at Holvi, it’s all about managing the balancing act of enabling the teams to build excellent services for our customers while ensuring top-notch adherence to the regulatory obligations of a financial institution.

A typical day could see you:

• Acting as a consultant in regards to regulatory requirements towards the business to enable the teams to build new products, operate effectively and in line with Holvi’s policies and regulations.

• Advising the business lines in the establishment and execution of action plans to address compliance deficiencies and self-identified issues.

• Providing hands-on support in (regulatory) projects, building processes, monitoring and reporting facilities and in liaising with the local regulator.

• Performing compliance and risk assessments, overseeing and helping in the execution of regulatory obligations of a financial institution, such as regulatory reporting.

• Developing and maintaining company-wide policies including ensuring the enforcement and successful training of your colleagues.

• Executing recurring controls and testing of business processes as part of the Compliance Monitoring Program.

• Working closely with the Group MLRO, Head of AML & AFC Operations and CRO/CCO and reporting on relevant developments in the Austrian market.

This is for you if you:

• Have 3+ years of compliance experience, particularly in Austrian regulatory environments (e.g., financial institutions, payment institutions, or investment firms), and are interested in growing into an MLRO role.

• Bring a hands-on, solution-oriented approach to compliance challenges and have a thing for managing projects.

• Have a strong understanding of the Austrian regulatory landscape, including financial institution reporting requirements and AML obligations (FM-GWG, WiEReG, FMA circulars, etc.)

• Excel in communication and collaboration, with a proactive, results-driven mindset.

• Are highly adaptable, organised, and skilled at managing your time effectively in a dynamic environment.

• Speak fluent English and German (required for this role).

It's a plus if you:

• Worked in a payment institution and/or an investment firm before
