Fractional MLRO / Nominated Officer - Annex 1 Firms (UK)
Capitex is a specialist financial crime compliance firm. We are building a bench of experienced Money Laundering Reporting Officers to act as fractional MLROs / nominated officers for UK Annex 1 firms - lenders, leasing businesses, invoice and asset financiers, bridging lenders and private credit funds that are registered with, or applying to, the FCA under the Money Laundering Regulations.
Since the FCA's August 2026 statement on Annex 1 firms, demand for credible, independent MLROs has risen sharply. Most of these firms do not need a full-time hire. They need a named, experienced person for a few hours a month - more during registration or when a deal is onboarding - and they are paying properly for it.
This is not one vacancy. It is an ongoing series of assignments. If you are a good fit we will speak once, understand your capacity and sector preferences, and then bring you specific firms to consider. You choose which appointments you take.
What the role involves
- Acting as the firm's nominated officer under the Money Laundering Regulations 2017, named with the FCA
- For firms still applying: helping build the registration pack - business-wide risk assessment, AML policies and procedures, customer due diligence approach - and fronting the FCA's questions and interview
- For registered firms: owning the AML framework, reviewing and refreshing the risk assessment and policies, handling FCA information requests <
