AML/Compliance Analyst — Crypto, iGaming, FX

About Us 

We're hiring on behalf of our partner — a company that powers the operations behind regulated and high-risk industries. 

They give fast-moving businesses in these spaces the structure, compliance and talent they need to scale — without slowing down.

Some things don't show up in a report until it's too late. Our partner is looking for someone who spots them anyway.

About the Role

They're hiring an AML & Compliance Analyst with hands-on experience in KYC/AML operations within crypto, iGaming, or FX.

This isn't a purely strategic or audit-only role — you'll be in the day-to-day: reviewing customer files, checking transaction alerts, verifying due diligence, screening for sanctions and PEPs, and making judgment calls on what needs to be escalated. On top of that, you'll help build and refine the quality processes that make all of this faster and more accurate over time.

You'll work closely with Compliance, Operations, and Management, owning both the daily casework and the bigger-picture improvements. If you've operated in high-speed, high-volume environments before and know how to stay sharp when things move fast, keep reading.

What We're Looking For

This is a role for someone who's hungry to build, not just maintain. You'll get the most out of it if you:

• Come from crypto, iGaming, or FX and have real, hands-on experience with KYC and AML operations — not just theory
• Take high ownership by default — you don't wait to be told, you see what needs doing and do it
• Are proactive, spotting risks and gaps before they're flagged by someone else
• Thrive under pressure in fast-moving, high-volume environments with constant case queues and shifting priorities
• Have a genuine appetite to learn — regulations, red flags, and industry tactics evolve fast, and you want to stay ahead of them, not catch up
• Are adaptable, comfortable moving between casework, investigations, and process improvement without losing accuracy
• Want to build something real — a stronger AML function because you were in it

What You'll Own

• Handle day-to-day KYC/AML casework — review customer onboarding files, verify identity and source-of-funds documentation, and conduct ongoing due diligence in line with risk-based procedures.
• Monitor transactions & detect red flags — review alerts, transaction patterns, and customer activity to identify unusual or potentially suspicious behavior in real time.
• Screen for sanctions, PEPs, and adverse media — run and assess screening results, resolving true/false positives accurately and efficiently.
• Investigate & escalate — assess suspicious activity, document findings, and escalate cases (including SAR/STR-level decisions) in line with internal procedures and regulatory requirements.
• Build & improve quality controls — develop, implement, and maintain QA processes that keep casework accurate and consistent as volume grows.
• Identify risks before they escalate — conduct regular audits and reviews of internal processes and controls to catch gaps early.
• Strengthen AML processes — work with Compliance and Operations to refine controls, procedures, and reporting accuracy based on what you see in the day-to-day.
• Own compliance communications — monitor incoming compliance-related emails, flag what's urgent, and escalate to management without delay.
• Manage multiple priorities — juggle live casework, investigations, and QA projects simultaneously, without losing accuracy or organization.
• Stay ahead of change — continuously build your knowledge of AML/KYC regulations, risk indicators, and best practices specific to crypto, iGaming, or FX.

What You Bring

• 2+ years of hands-on experience in KYC/AML operations, transaction monitoring, or financial crime prevention — ideally within crypto, iGaming, or FX
• Practical, working knowledge of KYC procedures, customer due diligence, sanctions/PEP screening, and SAR/STR processes
• Solid understanding of AML regulations, risk-based approaches, and compliance best practices in fast-moving financial environments
• A sharp, analytical, investigative mindset — you notice inconsistencies and patterns others miss
• Comfort operating with high ownership and autonomy, proactively identifying what needs to happen next
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to prioritize under pressure and tight deadlines
• Exceptional attention to detail
• A genuine self-learner mindset — curious, adaptable, and always looking to sharpen your regulatory and technical edge
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the confidence to raise findings and escalate concerns clearly
• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, or related field (relevant industry experience weighed heavily)

What You'll Get

• Competitive salary aligned with your experience
• Comprehensive benefits package
• Continuous professional development in a space that never stops evolving
• A fast-paced, high-ownership environment where initiative is rewarded and compliance is treated as a competitive edge, not a formality
• Direct collaboration with Compliance, Operations, and Management, with real influence over how casework and controls evolve
• A role built for people who want to build, not just maintain

Think You Have the Eye for Risk?

If you come from crypto, iGaming, or FX and know your way around a KYC file as well as you know AML regulation — if you question procedures instead of just following them, and you're hungry to build something stronger — this is your next challenge.
