Job summary

Binance is seeking an experienced Sanctions & CTF Investigator to join the Compliance team. You will lead end-to-end investigations into sanctions exposure and analyze on-chain activity across our global platform.

You will prepare regulator-facing investigation reports, manage a caseload within SLAs, and apply OSINT to link funds to sanctioned entities. This role requires strong analytical skills and excellent written and verbal communication.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of sanctions investigations, CTF investigations, or financial crime investigations in a crypto or financial services environment.
• Hands-on experience with blockchain analytics tools: Chainalysis, Elliptic, TRM Labs, or equivalent.
• Strong working knowledge of global sanctions frameworks (OFAC, UN, EU, UK) and CTF regulatory requirements.
• Proven ability to conduct complex, multi-source investigations and produce clear, defensible written outputs including SARs/STRs.
• Experience with sanctions screening platforms (e.g. World-Check, ComplyAdvantage, Actimize) is an advantage.
• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Law, Criminal Justice, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Strong analytical and investigative skills — able to connect disparate data points and form well-reasoned conclusions.
• Excellent written and verbal communication — investigation reports must be audit-ready and regulator-facing.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-volume environment with competing priorities.

Responsibilities

• Conduct end-to-end investigations into sanctions-related alerts, CTF suspicions, and high-risk activity flagged through transaction monitoring or referrals.
• Perform blockchain tracing and on-chain analysis to identify fund flows, wallet attribution, and links to sanctioned entities or terrorist financing networks.
• Investigate cases involving OFAC, UN, EU, and other global sanctions lists, applying appropriate jurisdictional knowledge.
• Prepare clear, accurate, and well-evidenced investigation reports, including SAR/STR filings where required.
• Manage an assigned caseload within defined SLAs, prioritising effectively and maintaining accurate case records.
• Conduct open-source research (OSINT) to enrich investigations and identify connections to sanctioned parties, terrorist organisations, or illicit networks.
• Support client off-boarding processes for cases involving confirmed or suspected sanctions exposure.
• Identify process gaps or control weaknesses observed during investigations and elevate recommendations for improvement.
