The opportunity

For a leading international bank, we are looking for an experienced CDD Analyst to join a specialized Due Diligence team with a focus on corporate clients.

This is a role where you will not be working on standard, repetitive files. Instead, you will focus on complex corporate clients with international footprints, requiring strong analytical skills, sound judgment, and the ability to operate independently.

You will work in an international environment and collaborate closely with stakeholders across multiple countries and functions.

Your role

As a CDD Analyst, you are responsible for managing and executing end to end client due diligence processes. You take ownership of complex cases and play a key role in safeguarding the organization against financial crime and integrity risks.

You operate at the intersection of compliance, risk, and business, where your analysis directly impacts client decisions.

Key responsibilities

You perform in-depth CDD analyses on corporate and institutional clients, including:

• Analysing complex legal structures and ownership chains
• Identifying Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs)
• Assessing risks related to sanctions, PEPs, and adverse media
• Investigating inconsistencies and identifying red flags

Own the full client lifecycle

You manage onboarding and periodic reviews from start to finish:

• Coordinating the full due diligence process
• Collecting and validating client documentation
• Ensuring all relevant data sources are reviewed and aligned
• Maintaining ownership over timelines, quality, and completeness

Perform risk assessments and advise stakeholders

You translate your findings into clear and well-substantiated conclusions:

• Advising on client acceptance, risk mitigation, or exit decisions
• Challenging incomplete or unclear information
• Ensuring compliance with regulatory and internal standards

Engage with internal and international stakeholders

You work closely with:

• Relationship Managers
• Compliance and Financial Crime teams
• International operations teams

You act as a trusted partner and are confident in managing expectations, aligning stakeholders, and escalating when needed.

Contribute to quality and improvement

Beyond your own cases, you help raise the bar within the team:

• Ensuring high-quality and consistent documentation
• Identifying structural issues in data or processes
• Proposing improvements to increase efficiency and quality
• Sharing knowledge and contributing to a stronger team capability

Your profile

You are an analytical and detail-oriented professional who is comfortable handling complexity and taking ownership.

Requirements

• Minimum of 3 years of experience in CDD, KYC or client onboarding
• Completed Bachelor’s (HBO) or Master’s (WO) degree, preferably in Finance, Business, Law or a related field
• Experience with corporate clients and complex structures
• Strong knowledge of:
• UBO analysis
• sanctions and PEP screening
• Able to independently manage end-to-end cases
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills

Preferred

• Experience within corporate or investment banking
• Experience with high-risk or complex client dossiers
• Exposure to quality control or process improvement

Why this role

This position stands out due to the level of complexity, ownership, and impact:

• You work on substantive, non-standard CDD cases
• You have real ownership over your files and decisions
• You operate in an international stakeholder environment
• Your analysis directly contributes to risk mitigation and decision-making
• It offers a clear step up from purely operational KYC roles
