Description

The Role


  • Investigate transaction monitoring alerts and complex financial crime cases, identifying suspicious activity and escalating material concerns to the MLRO or relevant colleagues.
  • Conduct KYC/KYB reviews and enhanced due diligence, assessing sanctions, PEP and adverse media risks alongside business activity and ownership structures.
  • Complete periodic reviews and KYB refreshes, checking changes in jurisdictions, management, ownership and expected customer activity.
  • Manage banking and payment partner RFIs, gathering evidence and preparing accurate, documented responses.
  • Use Sumsub to examine customer records, screening results, transactions and case evidence; undertake targeted research where information is incomplete or inconsistent.
  • Maintain clear decision records and case summaries, and support testing, quality assurance, remediation and control improvements.

What We're Looking For


  • Around three years in AML, financial crime or compliance within regulated financial services.
  • Hands-on transaction monitoring and risk-based decision-making, including complex investigations rather than only straightforward alert processing.
  • Experience of KYB refreshes, corporate structures and RFIs, ideally involving banking or payment partners.
  • Experience with Sumsub or a comparable KYC/KYB, screening, monitoring or case management platform.
  • Strong research and written communication skills, sound AML/CTF and sanctions knowledge, and careful judgement with sensitive information.
