• Liaise with relevant teams and users to obtain additional information required to assess potential ML, TF, sanctions, or fraud concerns.
• Evaluate cases, communicate findings and decisions to relevant case-stream leads, and elevate matters to senior investigations leadership when required.
• Support the identification and implementation of process improvements related to KYC, AML, CTF, and sanctions policies and procedures.
• Maintain knowledge of virtual currencies, blockchain activity, documentation requirements, account behavior analysis, and evolving financial crime regulations.
• Participate in compliance training and consistently apply applicable KYC/AML/CTF and sanctions policies, laws, and regulations.

• Good understanding of AML, KYC, CTF, sanctions, and related regulatory requirements, including Customer Due Diligence (CDD) and Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD).
• Basic knowledge of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency transactions, with the ability and interest to deepen this expertise.
• Experience using blockchain analytics or transaction monitoring tools such as Chainalysis, Elliptic, TRM, or similar platforms.
• University degree in a relevant discipline.
• CAMS or CBP certification is an advantage.
• Strong analytical, critical-thinking, and decision-making abilities, with sound judgment when evaluating unusual or potentially high-risk activity.
• Excellent attention to detail, accuracy, consistency, and documentation quality.
• Ability to identify patterns and anomalies across transaction, account, and supporting documentation data.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain findings clearly to different stakeholders.
