Established in 2012 and headquartered in London, Argentex listed on London’s AIM market in mid-2019 and has since expanded to Amsterdam, Dubai, and Australia, supported by approximately 180 staff. We are an FCA regulated business.

About the Role:

We are seeking a highly collaborative and diligent Institutional Onboarding Analyst to join our Onboarding team. The role involves ensuring compliance with all regulatory requirements, focusing on alternative investment funds (AIFs) and other alternative transaction banking services.

The successful candidate will support the timely and compliant onboarding of funds and banking clients by assisting in the implementation and monitoring of compliance policies, especially regarding anti-money laundering (AML), know-your-customer (KYC), and cross-border regulations.

This role requires a strong understanding of alternative banking and investment fund structures, working closely with internal teams to mitigate risks and ensure adherence to global financial regulations.

Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct thorough KYC/CDD investigations on new clients in the fund/institutional space, including enhanced due diligence for high-risk clients.
• Screen all clients using automated tools, investigating and escalating potential sanctions or PEP matches.
• Obtain and verify client identification, proof of address, and source of funds/wealth documentation.
• Conduct regular risk assessments, particularly around cross-border transactions and AIF structures, and recommend mitigation strategies.
• Identify and pursue new business opportunities within the client portfolio, focusing on reactivations and referrals.
• Assess client risk profiles and determine appropriate ongoing monitoring levels.
• Perform suspension or closure of client accounts as needed.
• Complete reactivation or refresh of institutional client accounts.
• Communicate effectively with sales teams and internal departments regarding onboarding matters.
• Investigate Financial Crime suspicions regarding new clients and escalate findings clearly for internal review.
• Respond promptly to internal inquiries and resolve onboarding issues.

Who are we looking for?

• Minimum of 2 years’ experience in compliance, focusing on alternative transaction banking and/or investment funds.
• Awareness of Financial Crime trends and developments, including AI and technology.
• In-depth understanding of FCA regulations, MiFID II, AIFMD, AML/CFT, and related financial regulations.
• Experience working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
• Good operational knowledge of transaction products processed for clients.
