Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct KYC/CDD investigations on new clients, including enhanced due diligence for high-risk clients.
• Screen clients using automated tools, investigating potential sanctions or PEP matches.
• Verify client identification, proof of address, and source of funds/wealth documentation.
• Perform regular risk assessments, especially for cross-border transactions and AIF structures, and suggest mitigation strategies.
• Identify and pursue new business opportunities within the client portfolio.
• Assess client risk profiles and determine ongoing monitoring levels.
• Manage suspension or closure of client accounts.
• Reactivate or refresh institutional client accounts.
• Communicate with sales and internal departments regarding onboarding matters.
• Investigate financial crime suspicions and escalate findings appropriately.
• Respond to internal inquiries and resolve onboarding issues.

Who are we looking for?

• At least 2 years’ experience in compliance, focusing on alternative transaction banking or investment funds.
• Knowledge of Financial Crime trends, including AI and technology developments.
• Understanding of FCA regulations, MiFID II, AIFMD, AML/CFT, and related regulations.
• Experience in fast-paced, collaborative environments.
• Operational knowledge of client transaction products.
