Qualifications

• 2+ years of hands-on experience in KYC/AML operations, transaction monitoring, or financial crime prevention — ideally within crypto, iGaming, or FX
• Practical, working knowledge of KYC procedures, customer due diligence, sanctions/PEP screening, and SAR/STR processes
• Solid understanding of AML regulations, risk-based approaches, and compliance best practices in fast-moving financial environments
• A sharp, analytical, investigative mindset — you notice inconsistencies and patterns others miss
• Comfort operating with high ownership and autonomy, proactively identifying what needs to happen next
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to prioritize under pressure and tight deadlines
• Exceptional attention to detail
• A genuine self-learner mindset— curious, adaptable, and always looking to sharpen your regulatory and technical edge
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the confidence to raise findings and elevate concerns clearly
• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, or related field (relevant industry experience weighed heavily)

Responsibilities

• Handle day-to-day KYC/AML casework — review onboarding files, verify identity and source-of-funds documentation, and conduct ongoing due diligence in line with risk-based procedures
• Monitor transactions & detect red flags — review alerts, transaction patterns, and customer activity to identify unusual or potentially suspicious behavior in real time
• Screen for sanctions, PEPs, and adverse media — run and assess screening results
• Investigate & elevate — assess suspicious activity, document findings, and elevate cases (including SAR/STR-level decisions) in line with internal procedures
• Build & improve quality controls — develop, implement, and maintain QA processes that keep casework accurate and consistent as volume grows
• Identify risks before they elevate — conduct regular audits and reviews of internal processes and controls to catch gaps early
• Strengthen AML processes — work with Compliance and Operations to refine controls, procedures, and reporting accuracy
• Own compliance communications — monitor incoming compliance-related emails, flag what's urgent, and elevate to management without delay
• Manage multiple priorities — juggle live casework, investigations, and QA projects simultaneously, without losing accuracy or organization
• Stay ahead of change — continuously build your knowledge of AML/KYC regulations, risk indicators, and best practices specific to crypto, iGaming, or FX
