We are looking for a proactive and self-motivated Assistant Manager / Manager, Periodic Review, to be part of our Compliance Operations team. This is an individual contributor role responsible for executing Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) and Periodic Review (PR) activities on higher-risk or complex clients, ensuring the company’s AML/CFT framework remains compliant with regulatory and internal standards.

The role focuses on independently conducting deep-dive reviews, analysing customer profiles, assessing risk factors, and preparing well-substantiated EDD documentation for Compliance review and / or MLRO approval.

The incumbent will work closely with Onboarding, Relationship Managers / Assistant Relationship Managers, and Compliance stakeholders among others to ensure continuous risk monitoring and adherence to regulatory obligations.

• Collaborate with Relationship Managers, Onboarding, and Compliance stakeholders to resolve documentation queries and ensure alignment on risk assessments.
• Provide feedback and suggest process enhancements to improve CDD/EDD quality and reduce repetitive escalations.
