We’re reinventing payments. In less than four years, Dojo disrupted the market to become the largest and most loved acquirer in the UK. Our payments infrastructure, purpose-built for in-person commerce, is game changing.
Now, over 150,000 customers across four countries choose to transact billions with us every year. But we’re just getting started.
Our people are the driving force behind our success. They are our greatest investment and our ultimate competitive advantage. We hire exceptional people and give them the autonomy, trust, and ownership to thrive. The results take care of themselves.
The role
Dojo is growing fast — and so are the financial crime risks that come with scale. With 70,000+ customers across the UK and an expanding European footprint, our CDD function is central to protecting Dojo and the merchants we serve. Our Senior CDD Analysts are experienced, self-sufficient decision-makers who set the standard for quality and judgement across the team.
As a Senior CDD Analyst, you'll take ownership of our most complex and high-risk cases, act as a point of escalation for peers, and play a key role in continuously improving our onboarding and ongoing monitoring processes. You'll work at the intersection of Fraud, AML and KYC, partnering closely with our FinCrime, Underwriting and 2nd Line Compliance teams.
What You Will Do...
- Lead the review and decisioning of complex CDD cases at onboarding, including corporate structures, UBO identification and enhanced due diligence
- Manage high-risk and escalated alerts from screening solutions — Sanctions, PEPs, Adverse Media and WorldCheck — through to resolution
- Conduct periodic reviews for European customers, ensuring ongoing AML compliance and flagging material changes in customer risk profile
- Act as first point of escalation for CDD Analysts, providing guidance on difficult cases and maintaining consistent decision quality across the team
- Work closely with the FinCrime and MLRO function where SAR/STR filing may be required, ensuring cases are documented in line with internal protocols
- Support development and maintenance of CDD procedures, identifying gaps and raising these with the Team Lead
- Contribute to audit and regulatory readiness — case files should be complete, accurate and audit-trail ready at all times
- Identify and flag systemic process issues to the Team Lead and ERM where controls are not operating as designed
- Support the training and onboarding of new CDD Analysts
