Do you want to work at the heart of a growing, next-generation banking firm with global ambitions, protecting it and its customers against sanctions risk? Then we might have the role for you!

Banking Circle is a fully licensed, technology‑enabled bank processing over €1.5 trillion in payments every year - and growing. We exist to power the global economy’s most ambitious payments businesses with infrastructure that is fast, modern, and engineered for scale. Today, more than 800 people across 11 countries work together as one global team. We move fast, we think boldly, and we build with intent - because our clients depend on us to keep pace with the world’s most dynamic payments flows. We are expanding globally, scaling our capabilities, and deepening our impact, so if you want to shape the future of financial infrastructure - this is the place

Your team welcomes you with open arms

We have exciting opportunities in our first line of defense sanctions function and are looking for people to join our team conducting Level 1 & 2 payment sanctions screening alert reviews. In this role, you will be responsible for investigating and handling sanctions alerts, requesting further payment information internally and externally and/or escalating potential true matches for further investigation or guidance.

The role is part of a broader global sanctions team run out of London and Singapore; you will be the first members of our new sanctions hub in Poland, joining the existing BC team that is already in place.

We offer a hybrid work model for our employees to allow for flexibility and productivity. However, we do expect you to spend most of your time in the office to build community and efficiency in the team.

We are also seeking candidates that are prepared to work shift patterns outside of normal business hours. This will be subject to discussions and agreement during the interview process but would include working early or late shifts and during weekends.

Exciting work is waiting for you

• Investigating potential matches and actioning as appropriate
• Managing caseload to ensure payments are processed within SLAs
• Identifying and recommending process and procedural enhancements
• Working with our Data Science teams to continuously improve our systems
• Monitoring regulatory developments and industry best practices
• Maintaining procedures and working instructions to ensure adequacy

Things we’ll look for on your resume

To be the right candidate for this position we expect you to have a track record in sanctions screening built up in similar financial services organisations. You will have worked within a payment screening operation and be used to processing high volumes at pace.

We also expect you to have a relevant educational background and to be familiar with global AML and sanctions rules and regulations. You are able to review and understand payment flows, while always paying good attention to details.

As a person you are analytical, not afraid to work independently with personal accountability, and you thrive in a fast‑paced environment. You are also a great team player who can work collaboratively with others across locations and departments.
