Job description

Location: Ireland / London, UK
Company: Navro – Pioneering the Future of Payments

KYC Analyst: Learn More in 6 Months Than 2 Years Elsewhere

We’re Navro, a rapidly scaling B2B payments startup, and we’re looking for a sharp, detail-obsessed, and resilient self-starter to join our KYC/AML Team.

You won't be just another cog in the wheel. You'll be on the front lines, protecting Navro from bad actors and learning from experts as we build and scale. This isn’t a passenger role. We’re bringing you in for your sharp mind, your meticulousness, and your relentless drive. You will be responsible for executing our compliance checks, flagging risks, and ensuring our client onboarding is both fast and secure.

Who We Are

We are transforming payments for global platforms and e-commerce businesses. As the world’s first payments curation platform, we simplify cross-border transactions by uniting best-in‑class infrastructure into a seamless ecosystem, enabling businesses to scale and operate effortlessly across borders. Cross‑border workforce payments are slow, expensive, and outdated. We can’t be. Businesses rely on us to pay their people accurately and on time - contractors, freelancers, and employees across the globe. When we say we’ll deliver, failure isn’t an option. If we don’t do what we said we would, people don’t get paid - not just a transaction delayed, but real workers left without wages. That means a developer in Argentina missing their paycheck, a freelancer in the Philippines unable to pay rent, or a contractor in Poland unable to get to work. No excuses. No passengers. No tolerance for politics or mediocrity.

What This Role Demands:

⚡ You Own It – You’re accountable for every check, every file, and every escalation. You double‑check your work because you know failure is not an option.

⚡ You Ask the Hard Questions – You’re not afraid to say "I don't know," and you're even less afraid to ask "Why?" You challenge assumptions to make us better.

⚡ You Spot What’s Broken – No waiting for permission. If a workflow is clunky or a process is unclear, you flag it to your manager and suggest a fix.

⚡ You’re Hands-On – You're ready to get in the weeds. One minute you’re reviewing documentation, the next you're running checks and analyzing alerts.

⚡ You Thrive in Chaos – Startups are messy. Priorities shift and ambiguity is constant. You can focus, adapt, and keep moving forward.

⚡ You Handle the Pressure – Fast‑paced. High stakes. You can manage a queue, hit your deadlines, and stay meticulous even when it's busy.

⚡ You’re Here for the Journey – This is career‑defining. It’s hard, rewarding, and not for the faint‑hearted. You're ready to learn, grow, and build with Navro.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Support the KYC/AML team in reviewing documents for new client accounts in line with our fast‑paced onboarding process.
• Perform core Customer Due Diligence (CDD) reviews (e.g., ID document verification, PEP and sanction checks).
• Learn to identify and elevate any potential suspicious applications, alerts, or client behaviours to the MLRO.
• Help review, investigate, and elevate transaction monitoring alerts.
• Summarise your findings clearly and concisely for the team.
• Ensure all client data is collected and stored with the highest standards of confidentiality.
• Communicate with internal teams (like Sales and Onboarding) to resolve any routine issues.

What We’re Looking For:

⚡ Experienced Compliance Pro: You have 2+ years’ experience in KYC Operations and AML compliance, preferably at a large financial institution with a European customer base. You have good knowledge of the European AML legislation. Experience in payments is a significant advantage.

⚡ Tech‑Savvy & Systems‑Oriented: You have hands‑on experience working within a CDD team and using modern KYC software and tools, such as LexisNexis RiskNarrative, TrueBiz, etc.

⚡ Detail‑Obsessed: This is our non‑negotiable. You are a highly organised individual with excellent attention to detail—the person who spots the one error in a 20‑page document.

⚡ Proactive Owner: You are a proactive team player with outstanding communication skills. You take initiative, assume responsibility, and don't wait to be told what to do.

⚡ Pressure‑Proof & Results‑Focused: You have a proven ability to verify documents correctly and efficiently within tight deadlines and maintain a sharp focus on results.

You may not possess every single required skill listed, and that's perfectly fine. If you have most of them, along with grit, passion, a desire to learn quickly, and the willingness to get stuck in, we encourage you to apply.

Why Navro?

• Lead and Shape the Future: This is your chance to build and grow a market from zero to one.
• Make Real Impact: Your decisions will directly shape Navro’s growth journey.
• Innovative Environment: Be at the forefront of Fintech innovation and payments disruption.
• Career‑Defining Role: This isn’t just another job. It’s a legacy.

Ready to Build Something Big?

This is your chance to leave your mark. If you’re ready to lead, build, and grow with the intensity that only startups offer, we want to hear from you.

Apply now and be part of Navro’s journey to revolutionise payments with us.
