  • Ensure adherence to AML, fraud, and bribery policies in line with the firm’s risk appetite.

Technology and Analytics

  • Utilize systems and tools to prevent, detect, and investigate financial crime.
  • Leverage data analytics to identify patterns or trends indicating fraudulent activities.
  • Recommend enhancements to tools and processes based on industry developments.

Collaboration and Communication

  • Foster awareness across the organization regarding financial crime risks and controls.
  • Serve as an internal advisor on financial crime and fraud-related matters.

What We’re Looking For

  • At least 2+ years of experience in a financial crime or compliance-related role.
  • A background in FX or financial services is advantageous but not essential.
  • Strong knowledge of AML, fraud prevention, and financial crime regulations.
  • Analytical and detail-oriented with a proactive approach to solving problems.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to engage and educate stakeholders at all levels.

The Ideal Candidate

  • A critical thinker who challenges perspectives to ensure compliance excellence.
  • Tech-savvy and forward-thinking, with a keen interest in enhancing processes.
  • Confident and personable, able to build trust and rapport with colleagues and clients.
  • Authentic, ethical, and passionate about combating financial crime while contributing to a positive workplace culture.
