* Supporting client onboarding and periodic KYC reviews, including review of beneficial ownership, and source of funds documentation
* Preparing well-reasoned case files and, where required, drafting suspicious activity reports (MROS) for review by the AML Officer
* Maintaining and refining the risk classification matrix (high / standard risk; natural / corporate; single / cumulative thresholds) and review cycles
* Contributing to the documentation of internal policies including the stablecoin scope policy, transaction monitoring procedure, and cross-border / privacy coin policies
* Supporting internal and external audits, including evidencing controls, reconciliations and ongoing monitoring
* Keeping pace with regulatory guidance, the DLT framework, and Travel Rule developments, and translating changes into operational controls
Your skills and experience:
* 3+ years of hands-on AML / transaction monitoring experience at a financial intermediary, bank, payment institution, or crypto / DLT firm

* Practical experience with KYC tooling (SumSub or similar) and at least one transaction monitoring platform; bonus points for blockchain analytics tools (Chainalysis, Elliptic, Crystal, TRM)
* Comfort working with digital asset flows (on-chain transfers, wallet attribution, custody platforms such as e.g Fireblocks)
* Sharp judgment under ambiguity able to triage alerts, escalate proportionately, and document decisions clearly
* Business-fluent English
