  • Manage offboarding decisions in line with internal policies and regulatory requirements.
  • Act as an escalation point for complex or high-risk FinCrime and fraud cases requiring senior judgment.

  • Work closely with Support, Product, and Compliance teams to ensure fast, effective handling of cases and continuous improvement of processes.
  • Support audits, reporting, and documentation, ensuring high-quality and audit-ready records.
  • Mentor junior team members and contribute to building scalable processes, SOPs, and team knowledge.

What We Are Looking For

  • Hands-on experience with transaction monitoring, fraud investigations, and KYB.
  • Experience preparing UARs/SARs.
  • Good understanding of AML regulations and sanctions frameworks, with a preference for UK knowledge.
  • Strong analytical and investigative skills, with attention to detail and the ability to make sound decisions in a fast-paced environment.
  • Clear communication skills and the ability to explain complex topics simply.
  • Comfortable working cross-functionally and mentoring others.

  • Knowledge of payment systems and financial regulations beyond AML.
