The position requires strong hands-on capability across CDD, EDD, KYB, Customer Risk Assessments, and transaction monitoring, with particular relevance to digital assets and fintech environments.

• Wealth Verification: Review Source of Funds (SoF) and Source of Wealth (SoW) documentation to support high-level onboarding and ongoing monitoring decisions.

• Transaction Monitoring: Investigate transaction monitoring alerts, identify suspicious fiat/crypto patterns, and escalate high-risk cases where required.

• Risk Documentation: Draft internal AML assessments and risk memos to support clear, defensible, and audit-ready compliance decision-making.

• Escalation & Reporting: Escalating suspicious activity and submitting internal reports to the MLRO or Deputy MLRO in strict accordance with internal procedures.

• Process Optimization: Proactively improve AML processes, operational controls, and documentation while supporting mentoring and training for junior analysts.
