- Ensure risk ratings are applied accurately and align with company policy and regulatory thresholds
- Apply strong attention to detail and accuracy verification across all reviewed files
- Act as a point of escalation for regulatory and quality queries, liaising confidently with stakeholders globally
- Stay current on global KYC regulation and quickly absorb specific internal policies and jurisdictional requirements
Requirements
- 2 to 5+ years of experience in a dedicated KYC, AML, or compliance role within financial services, ideally gained within an investment bank

- Highly organised with strong attention to detail and the ability to problem solve complex regulatory challenges efficiently
- Strong risk assessment skills, with a clear understanding of how risk ratings map to policy and regulatory thresholds
- Comfortable working independently, with confident communication skills and the ability to engage stakeholders across global time zones
- Familiarity with KYC platforms and case management systems
