• Build strong relationships with clients and internal stakeholders.
• Provide timely and professional communication regarding onboarding and AML requirements.
• Follow up outstanding documentation and assist clients through the compliance process.

Continuous Improvement

• Stay informed of changes to AML legislation and industry requirements.
• Contribute to the ongoing improvement of onboarding and compliance processes.
• Assist in maintaining process documentation, templates and procedures.

About You

• Strong attention to detail and the ability to review documentation accurately.
• Excellent communication skills with confidence engaging directly with clients and stakeholders.
• A customer-focused approach and commitment to delivering an exceptional client experience.
• Strong organisational and time management skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Experience using Microsoft Office and client management systems.
• An interest in compliance, regulatory requirements and continuous learning.
• The ability to handle sensitive and confidential information with discretion.

What We Offer

• Genuine career development and learning opportunities.
• A supportive and collaborative team environment.

• Flexible working arrangements.
• A culture that values relationships, development and innovation.
• The opportunity to contribute to a growing and evolving compliance function.
