ONLY CANDIDATES WITH EXPERIENCE IN PERMANENT ROLES NEED APPLY

With over 2,500 professionals employed across Europe, the Americas, Asia, and the Middle East, my client is a truly global company which currently has an excellent opportunity for an experienced compliance professional to join their Leeds office as a Compliance Analyst.

This role involves reviewing client files under the supervision and direction of an experienced management team, focusing on businesses operating within the Cayman and British Virgin Islands jurisdictions and ensuring compliance with legislation at all times. Candidates with experience working in these jurisdictions are of particular interest, but the client is also very interested in junior candidates in the KYC/AML profession.

The ideal candidate should possess:

• An advanced understanding of KYC and AML regulatory obligations;
• An ability to be adaptable and work towards multiple deadlines;
• Comfort working under minimal supervision (support available as needed);
• Strong organizational, communication, and teamwork skills;
• A genuine enthusiasm for a career in compliance.

The successful candidate is expected to attend the Leeds office 2–3 times a week, located approximately 3–5 minutes' walk from Leeds Train Station. Benefits include comprehensive health coverage, life and travel insurance, educational and professional development support, and access to savings and pension plans.
