• Maintain up-to-date documentation for audit readiness and internal knowledge bases.
• Train and mentor junior analysts in KYC reviews, alert handling, and STR writing.
• Coordinate regulatory filings and track deadlines; ensure no compliance breach or lapse in timelines.
• Respond to regulatory queries, third-party assessments, and internal audit findings.
• Stay abreast of changing regulatory landscapes (FIU-IND, SEBI, RBI, FATF) and translate implications into internal processes.
• Suggest and implement process improvements to elevate operational efficiency and accuracy.
• Innovate new methods for risk scoring, red flag detection, and customer behavior profiling.
• Be adaptable with work timings and capable of working under high-pressure situations during escalations or audits.

What You Should Have

• Bachelor’s degree required; relevant certifications (CAMS, ICA, etc.) are a plus.
• 4 to 6 years of experience in compliance roles within fintech, crypto, or traditional financial services.
• Proven experience with regulatory guidelines around KYC, AML, and STR filing in India.
• Experience in leading transaction monitoring investigations and driving outcomes.
• Proficiency in SQL, MS Excel (including pivot tables, VLOOKUP, conditional formatting), and Google Workspace (Sheets, Docs, Slides).
• Strong acumen in data analysis and investigative thinking — able to see the story behind numbers.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, particularly in report and case note writing.
• Adept at creating professional-grade presentations and compliance documentation.
• Ability to identify new risk patterns and implement scalable detection methods.
• Strong work ethic, with a high degree of ownership, urgency, and flexibility.

Bonus Points For

• Exposure to blockchain analytics or crypto-specific tools (Chainalysis, TRM Labs, etc.)
