Senior AML Manager

As a Senior AML Manager at Bybit, you join the second line of defence to bridge the gap between regulatory expectation and operational reality. You bring deep AML/CTF subject matter expertise to systematically identify where processes fall short through inefficiency, control gaps, or design flaws, and you drive them to a measurably better state. You challenge the first line with authority, propose solutions with precision, and own the outcome.

What you'll do

• Lead the local AML Ops team, ensuring KPIs are met, allocating appropriate resourcing, and supporting the Head of AML Ops
• Map and critically assess existing AML/CTF processes end-to-end (CDD, name screening, ongoing due diligence, travel rule, transaction monitoring, SAR/STR), identifying inefficiencies, control weaknesses, duplication, and regulatory exposure
• Translate findings into structured, prioritised improvement proposals with clear risk rationale, implementation path, ownership, and measurable success criteria
• Challenge first-line operational teams constructively but rigorously; hold them accountable to regulatory standards and internal policy without becoming an operational bottleneck
• Act as internal subject matter authority on AML/CTF regulatory requirements and global best practices; ensure process design decisions are grounded in current regulatory expectation
• Track implementation of agreed process improvements through to completion; monitor whether changes deliver the intended effect and escalate where they do not
• Support regulatory examinations, internal audits, and third-line reviews by providing clear, well-evidenced process documentation and subject matter input
• Contribute to the AFC risk assessment cycle by surfacing process-level control gaps as input to the overall AML/CTF risk picture

What you bring

• 7+ years of hands-on AML/CTF experience, with significant exposure to both operational (1LoD) and oversight (2LoD) environments
• A demonstrable track record of identifying process failures and driving material, measurable improvements in an AML or compliance context
• Strong working knowledge of AMLD IV/V/VI, FATF Recommendations, and EBA AML/CTF Guidelines
• A structured analytical approach: able to decompose a complex process, identify the critical failure point, and communicate it clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
• Credible and direct communication style, comfortable challenging senior stakeholders and first-line management with evidence-based positions

Nice to have

• Experience in a regulated payments, crypto-asset, or fintech environment
• CAMS, ICA Diploma, or equivalent AML qualification

What we offer

• Study Growth Fund to support your professional development and continuous learning
• Regular internal events including team-building activities, workshops, and collaboration sessions
• Global collaboration as part of a diverse, international team
• Career advancement opportunities within a rapidly expanding global company
• Internal mobility and long-term development support to help you build your career path with Bybit
