  • Support the design and implementation of policies, processes, and procedures to combat financial crime.
  • Monitor and respond to sanctions alerts and PEP (Politically Exposed Person) screening hits.
  • Assist in periodic reviews of financial crime controls and prepare reports for senior management.
  • Liaise with internal stakeholders (e.g., compliance, legal, and risk teams) to ensure financial crime risks are identified, reported, and managed.
  • Keep up to date with changes to financial crime regulations, industry developments, and emerging threats to advise the business accordingly.


Key Requirements

  • 2+ years of experience in a financial crime, AML, or compliance role within the payments, fintech, or financial services industry.
  • Strong knowledge of AML/CTF regulations, including UK Money Laundering Regulations (MLR), Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA), and relevant FCA guidance.
  • Experience in conducting CDD/EDD and handling suspicious activity investigations.
  • Familiarity with transaction monitoring systems, sanctions screening tools, and PEP screening processes.
  • Ability to analyse and interpret complex information, including financial and transactional data.
  • Excellent attention to detail and ability to work efficiently under pressure.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to produce clear and concise reports.
  • Relevant qualifications such as ICA, ACAMS, or equivalent are desirable but not mandatory.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite, particularly Excel.


What’s on Offer

  • Competitive salary and performance-related bonus.
  • Private health insurance.
  • Pension scheme.
  • 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays.
  • Flexible working options (hybrid model).
  • Opportunity for career growth and professional development.
