Interactive Brokers (U.K.) Ltd. (“IBUK”) is seeking an AML Associate to join the Financial Intelligence Unit (“FIU”) of our rapidly growing company. The key responsibilities of the AML Associate role are reviewing red flags, investigating complex ML/TF/Sanctions cases and taking adequate action, including regulatory reporting. The position reports to the European Head of AML Investigations and is based in our London office.

The role provides an excellent opportunity for someone with AML experience to join a dynamic and expanding Compliance department at a Group that has invested significant resources in its AML programme over the past few years.

IBUK is part of a global group of financial services companies based in the U.S. with over $5 billion in capital and publicly traded under the symbol “IBKR.”

Due to expansion, we recently relocated our office to a fantastic City of London tower on Fenchurch Street, where we operate a hybrid working model. You will be pleased to hear we offer lunch every day you are in the office from a selection of vendors.
