호주 시드니 오피스 현지 근무 포지션입니다. This role is based in Sydney, Australia.
About the Team You’ll Join
Toss is South Korea’s leading financial super app, trusted by over 20 million users and backed by a fully licensed financial group. Guided by our mission to remove financial friction and redesign financial services from the ground up, Toss continues to transform the finance industry through innovation and simplicity.

This role carries real authority and accountability — you will have direct access to senior management and the Board, the ability to enforce AML/CTF requirements across the organization, and operational independence to make risk-based decisions. You will act as the primary liaison with AUSTRAC and ensure Toss AU's AML/CTF program remains effective, risk-appropriate, and audit-ready.
