Airwallex
Compliance Operations Analyst
Airwallex is a global payments fintech company transforming the way businesses move and manage money globally. We have built a global financial infrastructure platform to help businesses transact, collect and pay across 130+ countries and 50+ currencies, without the constraints of the traditional global financial system. We've grown to 19 global locations and have raised over US$800 million in funding. To support our ambitious growth plans, we’re looking for smart, collaborative and passionate people who are looking to make a genuine impact.
Based out of our Lithuania office, this role will work closely with other members of the EMEA Compliance Operations and related teams to ensure that Airwallex meets all of its Know Your Customer (KYC)-related regulatory obligations, in line with our risk appetite and culture of compliance -- all the while helping to ensure that current and future clients have as seamless an onboarding experience as reasonably possible.
As an early member of the Airwallex EMEA team, you will play a front-line role in ensuring that we maintain strong operational compliance as we scale our commercial efforts in the region. Your overall objective as a KYC Operations Analyst is to ensure that you provide an effective line of defense against any potential money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions violation, fraud, or other financial crimes activity that bad actors may try to perpetrate using Airwallex’s solutions. You will be expected to quickly ramp up on our Anti-Money Laundering (AML)/Counter-Terrorist Financing (CTF) obligations and apply a strong attention to detail and sound, objective business judgment as you put our AML/CTF policies and procedures into practice.
You will:
- Perform Client Due Diligence to evaluate the customer from a compliance perspective and ensure that all established procedures are followed while providing a great customer experience
- Continuously improve streamlined processes to manage the end-to-end onboarding process from a financial crimes risk perspective
- Work with the Airwallex Compliance Team to ensure Airwallex’s adherence to local and global compliance policies and procedures
- Stay up-to-date on AML-related news and emerging regulatory developments Perform period reviews and support audits
You are:
- Relentlessly curious - Your analytical skills are second to none and the concept of deriving data-driven insights invigorates you… but you don’t succumb to analysis paralysis
- Process driven - You enjoy developing, documenting, and following procedures to ensure they are efficient, scalable, and defensible
- A team player - You are a natural in building relationships with your colleagues… but you enjoy working independently as much as you enjoy working with a team
- A master prioritizer - You leverage sound judgment to quickly assess all the tasks at hand and expertly prioritize them
- Inquisitive by nature - You know when to dig a little deeper to get to the bottom of a problem and solve it; in doing so, you ask the right questions necessary to arrive at a sound, risk-based decision
You have:
- 0-1 year of process-oriented experience requiring meticulous attention to detail and well-honed written and verbal communications; bank or fintech experience strongly preferred
- Passionate to develop knowledge in the area of European AML Directives and subsequent implementations into local laws, with interest in AML/CTF regulations, principles, and typologies
- A highly ambitious, motivated and analytical professional skill set
- Proficiency in the use of Excel and other Office / G Suite tools, case management systems, and third-party data-oriented SaaS vendors
- Excited about a fast-paced, dynamic environment is a must and an interest in working with internationally dispersed teams
- Additional Language Skills: French, German or Spanish Language would be advantageous
Salary: €15,000 - €25,000 depending on experience
