Job description

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 that currently offers an excellent opportunity for an experienced legal compliance professional to join their Leeds office as a Compliance Analyst on a 12-month fixed-term contract.

This role involves reviewing client files under the supervision and guidance of an experienced management team, focusing on businesses operating within the Cayman and British Virgin Islands jurisdictions, ensuring compliance with legislation at all times. While experience working within these jurisdictions is highly desirable, it is not an absolute requirement. The client is also very interested in junior candidates within the KYC/AML profession.

The ideal candidate will possess:

1. A good and advanced understanding of KYC and AML regulatory obligations;
2. An ability to be adaptable and work towards multiple deadlines;
3. Comfort working under minimal supervision (additional support available as needed);
4. Strong organisational, communication, and teamwork skills; and
5. 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.
