Senior Financial Crime Intelligence Analyst - Crypto

We are seeking a candidate who can commit to a full-time schedule working from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. (CEST).

We are looking for a team player; someone who is adaptable and enjoys solving complex problems in a constantly changing environment. You must be adept at managing competing priorities, and work well in a highly demanding environment. You will be comfortable delivering high quality investigations at pace, and presenting your findings and recommendations to senior stakeholders.

As a Senior Financial Crime Intelligence Analyst, your day-to-day role will be varied, but will include tasks such as:

• Reviewing of sanctions and watchlist screening alerts on entities and individuals on relevant lists;
• Management of end-to-end financial crime investigations stemming from BVNK’s transaction monitoring system, Trade Surveillance, payment screening tools, blockchain analytics provider, and other triggers;
• Identify opportunities to improve workflows and business processes through the effective use of AI tools and automation;
• Receiving escalations from, and providing coaching to, more junior team members;
• Drafting of Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) for submission to the relevant authorities;
• Working closely with colleagues responsible for BVNK’s transaction monitoring systems; identifying and testing changes to the rules in our transaction monitoring system;
• Seeking out and escalating opportunities to enhance BVNK’s control environment.

We’d love to hear from you if:

• You have at least 3 years’ experience in crypto transaction monitoring within a regulated institution or digital assets setting. Experience in a B2B context is essential, as we are primarily a B2B business. Familiarity with B2C environments is a plus, and experience across both crypto and fiat transaction monitoring environments would be advantageous;
• You have experience reviewing sanctions and watchlist screening alerts, within a regulated institution or digital asset setting;
• You have experience using tools such as Chainalysis, Elliptic, or TRM (or equivalent). Any blockchain related investigative certifications are desirable but not required;
• Experience leveraging AI tools and technologies to streamline processes, automate routine tasks, and drive operational improvements;
• Strong knowledge of AML/CTF regulations, financial crime typologies, and risk-based compliance frameworks is required;
• Knowledge of Trade Surveillance would be an asset;
• You’ve drafted and submitted Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs);
• You’re a motivated and proactive individual contributor, who takes pride in the quality of your work;
• You’re comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving and demanding environment, often with competing priorities;
• You’re happy working with a high degree of autonomy and managing evolving priorities to deliver against the team's strategy;
• You have an interest in digital assets, and are looking for an opportunity to expand your knowledge in this space;
• You have exceptional written and verbal English;

What you can expect from us:

• Fair and competitive salary at every stage of your growth
• Flexible working hours, with hybrid working at its heart
• A culture built on passionate growth-minded people
• A flexible approach to holiday
• Opportunities to travel to our offices around the world
• An open and creative environment where you can help us define the future of BVNK, its culture, and its opportunity sets

At BVNK, we are focused on building a diverse and inclusive team. While you may not meet all of our requirements, we’d encourage you to apply if you meet the majority of our expectations. You may be a great fit for this role or another role in our team.
