You will leverage AI-driven tools and automation to enhance risk assessment and operational efficiency, supporting the delivery of high-quality compliance outcomes at scale.

On a given day, you will:

1. Conduct in-depth investigations of flagged client accounts, utilising KYC, CDD, EDD, SOW, and AML-CTF checks, while leveraging AI-assisted tools and automated workflows.
2. Review high-value deposit and withdrawal requests, screening clients against PEP lists and sanctions databases to balance risk and customer experience.
3. Draft comprehensive compliance reports, including MLRO reports, and prepare AML-CTF filings for review by internal teams and submission to regulators.
4. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to advise on anti-fraud and AML-CTF matters, and respond promptly to compliance enquiries.
5. Support team members in upholding the organisation's social responsibility obligations, protecting client interests across all touchpoints.
6. Evaluate and improve compliance policies to strengthen our risk management framework and meet regulatory standards.
7. Contribute to the development and enhancement of AI-assisted tools and automated workflows to optimise compliance processes.

You will enjoy working with us if you:

1. Are enthusiastic about being part of a global team and appreciate working with people from over 80 different nationalities—all right here from Malaysia.
2. Are good at using your smarts to tackle tricky regulatory challenges and enjoy trying out new AI tools to keep things secure.
3. Enjoy being in a setting where you can solve problems, keep up with changing industry trends, and never stop learning.
4. Take pride in doing the right thing, protecting our reputation, and playing a key role in keeping our operations safe and sound.

We would love to work with you if you:

1. Hold a university degree in finance, economics, law, risk management, criminology, business studies, data science, or management.
2. Have 3-5 years of experience in a similar compliance role, preferably within fintechs, financial services, or online trading.
3. Possess strong knowledge of AML-CTF regulations, fraud detection techniques, and compliance best practices.
4. Demonstrate excellent analytical capabilities and can make sound judgments, with the ability to identify patterns and anomalies in complex data sets.
5. Communicate with clarity and precision, both verbally and in writing, in English.
