Your team welcomes you with open arms

We have exciting opportunities in our first line of defence sanctions function and are looking for people to join our team conducting Level 1 & 2 payment sanctions screening alert reviews.

In this role, you will be responsible for investigating and handling sanctions alerts, requesting further payment information internally and externally and/or escalating potential true matches for further investigation or guidance.

The role is part of a broader global sanctions team run out of London and Singapore, and our new sanctions hub in Poland. We offer a hybrid work model for our employees to allow for flexibility and productivity. However, we do expect you to spend most of your time in the office to build community and efficiency in the team.

Exciting work is waiting for you

We also expect you to have a relevant educational background and to be familiar with global AML and sanctions rules and regulations. You are able to review and understand payment flows, while always paying good attention to details.

As a person you are analytical, not afraid to work independently with personal accountability, and you thrive in a fast-paced environment. You are also a great team player who can work collaboratively with others across locations and departments.
