About the position

We are looking for an Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Onboarding Analyst to help our Legal and Compliance team in London with AML and counterparty onboarding matters.

‍

The regulatory landscape within our industry is very complex, and a strong understanding of this—particularly in an AML context—will be essential. You’ll be responsible for onboarding counterparties and conducting any required screenings using third-party vendors. You’ll also be an integral part of our team as we coordinate regulatory filings, complete AML/KYC questionnaires, open new exchange accounts, establish custody banking relationships and perform KYC refreshes.

You’ll assist with AML transaction monitoring using automated tools and have the opportunity to contribute to creating new processes and improving existing ones. The right person for this role will enjoy working with paperwork and people, and be able to answer questions and explain regulations and processes clearly to a wide range of colleagues and external parties.
