About the role
- Regulatory Compliance Intern working with Qonto to ensure compliance in eight European markets. Supporting payment compliance and regulatory watch tasks under a dynamic fintech environment.
Responsibilities
- Run the daily Regulatory Watch (≈50% of your time): Use Corlytics to monitor eight European markets, perform triage on regulatory alerts, and route them to the correct stakeholders (including the AML team).
- Support Payment Compliance: Ensure customer protection by helping analyze payment rules, client claims, account suspensions, and T&Cs changes.
- Act as an Internal Counsel: Read and interpret legal texts across different European countries and explain complex regulatory constraints to non-legal stakeholders.

- Synthesis & Prioritization: You can easily triage a large volume of daily alerts, spot what is truly relevant for Qonto, and route it efficiently.

- Curiosity & Adaptability: You have a genuine interest in Fintech and the agility to seamlessly switch between your daily regulatory watch and ad-hoc team support.
