• Strong understanding of KYB and CDD regulatory requirements across both UK and US jurisdictions.

• Proven ability to analyse and record ownership and control structures accurately.

• Experience in transaction monitoring and the ability to identify red flags or suspicious activity.

• Strong analytical and investigative skills with high attention to detail in documenting findings.

• Confident communicator, capable of interacting with internal stakeholders and external customers to resolve queries.

• Ability to work efficiently in a high-volume, fast-paced environment while maintaining high quality standards. 

Desirable skills:

A recognised AML or Financial Crime qualification (e.g., ICA, ACAMS) is a plus, but not essential.
