About The Role

You’ll own financial crime at Emma, working within our customer operations team under our Support & Financial Crime lead. Most of your time goes on fincrime casework. When queues are busy, you’ll also help the support team with customer cases. This mix is a core part of the job, not an extra.

• Handle sensitive customer conversations (blocked accounts, fraud, verification) with care and good judgement.
• Cover customer support queues when needed, alongside the support team.
• Find gaps in our fraud and fincrime processes and fix them with compliance, engineering and support.
• Help shape how Emma prevents financial crime as we grow.

Who We Are Looking For

• 2–3 years in a fraud, AML, KYC or fincrime operations role at a bank, fintech or payments company.
• Hands-on experience with KYC/CDD, PEP and sanctions screening, and transaction monitoring alerts.
• Experience writing internal SARs. Experience with DAMLs, APP fraud or chargebacks is a plus.
• Comfortable with screening platforms, CRMs and investigative tools.
• Clear writer, calm and kind with upset customers.
• Happy to work across fincrime and support, depending on what the team needs that day.
• ICA Certificate in AML / Financial Crime Prevention, CISI Combating Financial Crime or CAMS is a plus, but not required.
• Able to support weekend coverage when needed.
• You’re excited by what we’re building at Emma.

• Screening with internal recruiter
• Take-home quiz
• Technical call with Senior member of the team
• Recruiter sync
• Onsite interview with CEO

If you’re not driven to own your work, execute swiftly, and innovate constantly, this isn’t the right place for you.
