• Support the implementation and maintenance of the institution's AML/CFT programme in line with the Law on the Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (LPMLTF) and applicable EBA guidelines.
• Conduct sanctions screening and manage hits in line with EU, OFAC, and UN sanctions regimes.
• Assist with standard Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) on high-risk customers and Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) before they reach the escalation phase.

Group FCC Support:

• Collaborate with the Group FCC team to ensure local Lithuanian practices align seamlessly with the global AML/CFT framework and overarching risk appetite.
• Assist in the compilation and analysis of Management Information (MI) and compliance reporting for Group leadership and committees.
• Contribute to the development, review, and rollout of both local and group-level internal policies, procedures, and enterprise-wide risk assessments.
• Support group-wide FCC projects, such as the implementation of new compliance tools, system calibrations, and cross-jurisdictional financial crime investigations.
• Stay up to date with changes in Lithuanian, EU, and broader international financial crime legislation, advising the Group on potential local impacts.

Requirements:

• 1–2 years of experience in AML, KYC, or financial crime compliance, preferably within a payment institution, EMI, or fintech.
• Solid understanding of EU AML/CFT directives (AMLD5/6) and Lithuanian regulatory requirements.
• Familiarity with transaction monitoring systems and KYC/KYB platforms.

• Strong analytical and investigative skills with excellent attention to detail.
