Compliance Analyst, Financial Crime Compliance QA

As a Compliance Analyst in Financial Crime Compliance QA at OKX, you join the Compliance Assurance function of a regulated crypto business. You conduct quality reviews of financial crime investigations, assess investigator decision-making, and ensure compliance with AML/CFT requirements, internal policies, and quality standards. Working closely with Operations, Team Leads, and Product teams, you drive continuous improvement and strengthen the firm's financial crime controls.

What you'll do

• Conduct daily independent QA reviews of investigator and sanctions casework, including Transaction Monitoring, Name Screening, EDD, and other AML investigations. Evaluate accuracy, completeness, adherence to AML/CFT policies, regulatory requirements, internal procedures, and quality of case narratives. Assess whether investigative decisions are well-supported, risk-based, and appropriately documented.
• Partner closely with the Financial Crimes Operations team, Team Leads, Product teams, and other stakeholders to communicate QA findings, discuss quality trends, resolve process gaps, and ensure consistent interpretation of policies and quality standards.
• Participate in and facilitate regular QA calibration sessions to review complex or borderline cases, discuss grey areas, align on scoring methodology, and ensure consistency in quality evaluations across the QA team.
• Monitor investigator quality performance, analyze QA findings and recurring error trends, and prepare regular quality reports and dashboards to identify systemic issues, emerging risks, and opportunities to strengthen controls.
• Provide timely and actionable feedback to investigators and team leads to improve investigation quality and analytical skills. Act as a Subject Matter Expert for AML investigations by providing guidance on complex or high-risk cases, typologies, and regulatory expectations.
• Ensure all reviews are conducted in accordance with internal AML/CFT policies, regulatory requirements, quality frameworks, and standard operating procedures. Escalate potential compliance risks, control weaknesses, or systemic issues identified during QA reviews.
• Support continuous improvement by recommending enhancements to investigation procedures, QA methodologies, workflows, scorecards, sampling frameworks, training materials, and quality controls. Contribute to AI-enabled quality tools such as QA Copilot and participate in UAT and implementation of new quality initiatives.
• Participate in AML-related projects, initiatives, and program enhancements as required, providing QA expertise to strengthen AML controls and overall program effectiveness.
• Perform additional assignments and special projects as delegated by your supervisor, including process improvement initiatives, training support, root cause analysis, and documentation updates.
