The role combines traditional financial crime expertise with advanced blockchain and wallet analysis to identify emerging risks and sophisticated typologies.
You will contribute to the development and enhancement of AML, KYT, transaction monitoring, and crypto risk controls.
The position also provides an opportunity to influence crypto compliance policies, risk appetite, monitoring rules, and operational processes.

• Review alerts generated by crypto transaction monitoring systems and apply risk-based judgement to distinguish genuine suspicious activity from false positives.
• Analyze on-chain and off-chain activity to identify unusual patterns, red flags, and emerging typologies, including layering, structuring, rapid movement between fiat and crypto, and exposure to mixing services.
• Analyze transaction data to identify emerging financial crime patterns and support the continuous improvement of monitoring capabilities.
• Contribute to the enhancement of AML, KYT, transaction monitoring, onboarding, and wallet-risk controls.
• Contribute to the tuning and calibration of crypto monitoring scenarios, thresholds, and rules to improve detection effectiveness and reduce unnecessary alerts.
• Maintain accurate, comprehensive, and audit-ready investigation records and documentation.
• Develop and deliver practical guidance and training to colleagues on crypto-specific risks, typologies, onboarding, and transaction monitoring best practices.
• Influence crypto compliance policies and contribute to defining and maintaining an appropriate risk appetite.
• Represent the compliance function professionally in internal and external discussions concerning cryptocurrency financial crime risks.
• Act as a primary liaison with enforcement authorities when required, including matters involving investigations and asset recovery.
• Manage crypto compliance activities end-to-end in alignment with the Head of Compliance.

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in AML, financial crime, transaction monitoring, compliance investigations, or a closely related field.
• Hands-on experience conducting cryptocurrency and blockchain investigations.
• Strong knowledge of AML/CTF, KYC/KYB, sanctions requirements, and financial crime typologies.
• Practical experience with blockchain analytics and crypto compliance tools such as Chainalysis, Fireblocks, Elliptic, or similar platforms.
• Strong analytical and investigative capabilities, with excellent report-writing and documentation skills.
• Experience establishing or improving crypto compliance processes and operational frameworks.
• Experience working with global law enforcement authorities and supporting asset recovery activities.
• Experience in fintech, payments, cryptocurrency, or digital assets is preferred.
• Strong understanding of on-chain and off-chain transaction analysis and crypto-specific financial crime risks.
