AML Compliance Analyst

Help build the compliance engine of a fast-growing company The Gist We're looking for an AML & Compliance Analyst who has done real KYC/AML work in crypto, iGaming, or FX. We don't mean theory or audit-only experience. You'll work in the middle of the action. One day you're reviewing a file, the next you're digging into a suspicious pattern. You'll also be in the room with banks and clients, explaining our compliance approach and answering their questions. You'll work with Compliance, Operations, and Management. Your job is to keep the work moving and to help build a better AML function as we grow. If you like speed, volume, and ownership, read on. Who You Are You're a builder, not a maintainer. You'll thrive here if you: - Know the field. You come from crypto, iGaming, or FX and have hands-on KYC/AML experience. - Take ownership. You don't wait for instructions. You see the gap and fix it. - Spot risk early. You find problems before anyone else flags them. - Stay calm in the chaos. Case queues, shifting priorities, and tight deadlines don't rattle you. - Never stop learning. Regulations and red flags change quickly, and you want to be ahead of them. - Switch gears easily. You can move between casework, investigations, and process improvement without losing accuracy. - Want to leave a mark. You want to say, "The AML function got stronger because I was here." What You'll Do - Run daily KYC/AML casework. Review onboarding files, verify identity and source-of-funds documents, and carry out ongoing due diligence under our risk-based procedures. - Monitor transactions. Work through alerts, transaction patterns, and customer activity to catch unusual or suspicious behavior as it happens. - Screen for sanctions, PEPs, and adverse media. Assess results and resolve true and false positives quickly and accurately. - Investigate and escalate. Assess suspicious activity, document your findings, and escalate cases, including SAR/STR decisions, in line with our procedures and regulatory requirements. - Meet with banks and clients on compliance matters. Be the face of our compliance function. Answer due diligence questions, explain our controls and processes, and help build trust with banking partners and customers. - Build quality controls. Design and maintain QA processes that keep casework accurate and consistent as we scale. - Audit and review. Check our internal processes and controls regularly to find gaps early. - Sharpen our AML processes. Use what you see day to day to work with Compliance and Operations on better controls, procedures, and reporting. - Own compliance communications. Monitor incoming compliance emails, flag what's urgent, and escalate to management right away. - Juggle priorities. Handle live cases, investigations, and QA projects at once, and stay organized and accurate. - Stay ahead of the curve. Keep up with AML/KYC regulations, risk indicators, and best practices in crypto, iGaming, or FX. What You Bring - 2+ years of hands-on experience in KYC/AML operations, transaction monitoring, or financial crime prevention, ideally in crypto, iGaming, or FX - Working knowledge of KYC, customer due diligence, sanctions/PEP screening, and SAR/STR processes - A solid grasp of AML regulations and risk-based approaches in fast-moving financial environments - An analytical, investigative mind that notices the inconsistencies and patterns others miss - Comfort with autonomy and a habit of working out what needs to happen next - Strong organization and the ability to prioritize under pressure - Exceptional attention to detail - A self-learner's curiosity and adaptability - Clear written and verbal communication. You can present findings and raise concerns with confidence, whether to a colleague, a banker, or a client. - A Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, or a related field (relevant experience counts for a lot) What's In It for You - Competitive salary that reflects your experience - Ongoing professional development in a field that keeps changing - A fast-paced culture of ownership where initiative is rewarded and compliance is a competitive edge, not a box to tick - A real voice. You'll work directly with Compliance, Operations, and Management and shape how casework and controls evolve. - Visibility. You'll represent our compliance function to external partners. - A role for builders. You'll create things here, not just maintain them. Think You've Got an Eye for Compliance Gaps? Maybe you know a KYC file as well as you know the regulations. Maybe you question procedures instead of just following them. If you want to build something stronger, this could be your next challenge. Let's talk.
