  • Disposition PEP, sanctions and adverse-media screening alerts; document rationale for true and false-positive decisions and escalate confirmed or ambiguous hits to the AML Manager
  • Conduct first-line transaction monitoring alert reviews and basic source-of-funds checks; flag activity that may warrant EDD or a SAR/STR recommendation
  • Monitor transaction alerts and support investigations into unusual activity
  • Maintain accurate, audit-ready case files and escalate potential SAR/STR triggers to the Compliance Associate or Chief Compliance Officer
  • Support periodic reviews, remediation exercises, and licensing-related data requests such as MiCA and EMI compliance work
  • Help maintain and improve internal KYC procedures, checklists, and training materials
  • Handle KYC-related customer queries and requests for information professionally and within service level agreements

What you bring

  • 1 to 3 years of experience in KYC, AML, screening operations, or financial crime (fintech, crypto, payments, or iGaming background welcome)
  • Working knowledge of KYC, CDD, EDD processes, PEP and sanctions screening, adverse-media screening, and customer risk factors
  • Ability to write clear, concise alert dispositions and escalation notes in English
  • Comfort using IDV and screening platforms as well as case-management tools
  • Detail-oriented and able to maintain consistency and accuracy
  • Ability to follow procedures effectively in a fast-changing, scale-up environment
  • Sound judgment to exercise discretion and escalate appropriately in ambiguous situations
  • GDPR awareness
  • Strong professional English, written and verbal

Nice to have

  • Hands-on experience with IDV and screening platforms such as Sumsub, Onfido, World-Check, ComplyAdvantage, or OpenSanctions
  • Exposure to blockchain analytics tools such as Chainalysis, Elliptic, or TRM
  • Awareness of the AML framework (AMLD/AMLR), MiCA, and Travel Rule
  • Experience with UBO identification and corporate KYB
  • ACAMS Associate, ICA Certificate in AML, or willingness to pursue certification
  • General crypto and blockchain domain knowledge
