We’re hiring a CDD/EDD Analyst to support our onboarding and enhanced due diligence function. In this role, you’ll be a key player in ensuring we onboard the right customers in the right way — all while staying compliant with KYC, AML, and CTF regulations. You’ll review high-risk profiles, manage customer exits, monitor compliance trends, and help us continually improve how we assess risk and protect our business.

If you’re detail-driven, process-savvy, and passionate about creating seamless, compliant onboarding experiences — this role is for you.

• Assisting with EDD reviews for high-risk customers, ensuring documentation is complete and aligned with local regulatory standards
• Managing exit strategies for flagged customers — including account closures, blacklist updates, and regulatory reporting
• Preparing and maintaining MIS and reports to help senior stakeholders stay informed and aligned
• Verifying and securely storing customer KYC data in line with data protection standards
• Supporting risk assessments based on customer profiles, jurisdictions, and intended activity — escalating concerns when necessary
• Keeping accurate records of onboarding activity, RFIs, and compliance checks
• Partnering with internal teams (Fraud, Customer Care, Ops, Tech) and engaging with regulators and auditors when required
• Identifying gaps in current onboarding or EDD processes and recommending improvements
• Staying on top of regulatory updates and working with internal teams to embed necessary changes in systems and workflows
  
  

What You’ll Need

• A Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Business, or a related field (Master’s preferred)
• Professional certifications in compliance or sanctions (e.g., CAMS, CGSS) are a plus
• 1–3 years of experience in customer onboarding, ideally within a bank or financial institution in the UAE
• Strong understanding of AML, KYC, CTF, and Sanctions frameworks (especially CBUAE requirements)
• Proven ability to assess customer risk and spot red flags in complex relationships
• Strong interpersonal and collaboration skills — you're great at working with both peers and senior stakeholders
• Fluency in Arabic and English, with excellent communication skills in both
• Sharp attention to detail, with the ability to manage priorities and stay organized
• A proactive, problem-solving mindset and comfort working in a fast-paced environment
