Ensure the integrity of our financial systems by proactively identifying, investigating, and mitigating money laundering risks. Conduct thorough transaction monitoring, enhanced due diligence, and in-depth investigations to detect suspicious activity and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. Collaborate across teams to strengthen our anti-money laundering efforts, provide strategic insights, and contribute to the organization’s commitment to combatting financial crime while maintaining the highest standards of regulatory compliance.

In this role, you will:

Investigative Analysis & Due Diligence: You'll perform comprehensive KYC due diligence for new and existing customers, including Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) for high-risk profiles, and assess ML/TF risks related to crypto assets and emerging typologies.
Case Management & Internal Documentation: You'll efficiently manage and prioritise complex AML cases, ensuring timely resolution and meticulous documentation in line with internal policies and German regulatory requirements.
Transaction Monitoring & Blockchain Analytics: You'll conduct in-depth reviews of crypto asset transaction monitoring alerts, utilise blockchain analytics tools to trace suspicious flows and patterns, and lead investigations into complex, potentially illicit activities.
Data Analysis & Process Improvement: You'll analyse AML data, including blockchain data, to identify trends and KPIs, and proactively propose and implement improvements to optimise our AML controls and investigative capabilities.
Risk Assessment & Mitigation: You'll contribute to the ongoing development of our AML risk assessment framework, with a specific focus on crypto-related risks, and propose and implement effective mitigation strategies.
Regulatory Compliance & Crypto Specifics: Stay informed about changes in AML laws, regulations, and industry best practices, and ensure adherence to regulatory requirements, including the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and crypto-related regulations.
Training & Mentorship: You'll provide expert training, guidance, and mentorship to junior AML analysts and internal stakeholders on AML policies, blockchain forensics, and financial crime risks in the crypto space, fostering a strong compliance culture.
Cross-Functional Collaboration & External Liaison: You'll collaborate closely with internal stakeholders, including compliance, legal, and risk management teams, as well as external partners, such as law enforcement agencies and regulatory authorities, to share information and coordinate efforts to combat financial crime.

What you need to be successful:

You have several years of hands-on experience in AML investigations, transaction monitoring, and regulatory reporting within financial services, fintech, or a similarly regulated environment.
You possess deep knowledge of anti-money laundering regulations, including BSA, AMLD, and other relevant frameworks — familiarity with crypto-related compliance is a strong plus.
You bring a sharp analytical mindset and can interpret complex transaction data to identify patterns, risks, and suspicious activity.
You’re confident in drafting high-quality Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs).
You are familiar with enhanced due diligence practices and comfortable working with high-risk customer profiles, including PEPs.
You’re highly organized and can manage multiple cases with varying risk levels while maintaining accuracy and compliance with internal SLAs.
You bring a proactive, solution-oriented approach and are eager to contribute to strengthening financial crime defenses across the organization.
You are fluent in English; additional languages, particularly German, are a plus.
You have experience using AML systems and data tools to support investigations and reporting — SQL or similar data analysis skills are an advantage.
You’re excited to work cross-functionally and support a mission-driven organization committed to the highest standards of integrity and compliance.

What’s in it for you:

Accelerate your career growth by joining one of Europe's leading cryptocurrency management platforms.
Experienced mentor to guide your learning experience.
Access to cutting-edge technologies, high levels of autonomy, and an international working environment.
Flexible working hours, hybrid work setup from our offices.
