Compliance Analyst (Remote Working - Contract Role)
🏢 Compliance & Risk
My client is seeking an experienced Compliance Analyst to support a growing Compliance & Risk team in the Cayman Islands. This role plays a key part in supporting the firm’s regulatory framework, with a strong focus on client onboarding, due diligence, and AML/CFT/CPF and sanctions compliance.
The role is being offered on a remote working contract basis. The contractor will be requested to set up as a sole trader and the agreement will be for 12 months in principle and can be extended beyond this. This is an excellent opportunity for a detail-oriented compliance professional who enjoys working with complex structures and contributing to a strong culture of compliance.
Key Responsibilities
- Support client onboarding by reviewing proposed structures (e.g. funds, trusts, LLCs, exempt companies) and determining the appropriate scope of CDD in line with Cayman Islands AML/CFT/CPF and sanctions legislation
- Analyse legal and ownership structures to identify beneficial owners and jurisdictional risks, ensuring complete and accurate CDD documentation
- Perform and document Client Risk Assessments (CRAs) for new and existing clients using the firm’s risk rating methodology, under senior guidance
- Provide operational support during new business intake, including preparing CDD requests and communicating regulatory requirements to stakeholders
- Respond to trigger events such as changes in ownership, control, or business activity and ensure timely updates to client records and risk profiles
- Monitor client activity for potential financial crime risks and escalate concerns appropriately
- Prepare and escalate Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) for review by the MLRO
- Maintain accurate, audit-ready compliance records within compliance systems
- Assist with regulatory inspections, audits, and information requests from the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA)
- Collaborate closely with legal, onboarding, trust, and corporate services teams to embed compliance requirements into business processes
- Contribute to compliance projects, regulatory change initiatives, and process improvements
