About Us
We are an award-winning financial services firm, listed on the London Stock Exchange and recognised by the Financial Times as one of the fastest-growing companies in Europe. With just over 300 people across eight international offices, we support clients in more than 50 countries.

Despite our success, we’re still only at the beginning of our journey. Over 30% of our team are already shareholders, and we’re committed to offering this opportunity to more people each year.

We know our strength lies in our people. That’s why we’re passionate about empowering individuals who want to take their careers to the next level, and who want to be part of a fast-growing, exciting story.

The Opportunity
This is a fantastic chance to develop a career in financial services with a dynamic, innovative, and fast-paced business. We’re looking for individuals who share our values: ambitious, adaptable, and driven. Problem-solving, teamwork, and the ability to thrive outside your comfort zone are key.

In return, you’ll join a supportive and rewarding environment, where success is celebrated and performance is recognised.

• Performing KYC refresh for clients with different risk profiles and sector backgrounds
• Conducting risk or trigger-event reviews of clients and their activity
• Identifying suspicious activity and escalating appropriately
• Assisting with ongoing screening/monitoring of client base (PEP, adverse media, sanctions)
• Supporting compliance training for new team members
• Working closely with the Onboarding Manager and MLRO to identify compliance issues
• Suggesting improvements to processes where needed
• Using compliance platforms such as BvD Catalyst, Salesforce, Creditsafe, Orbis, and Ecore

Skills & Experience Required

• Strong knowledge of the UK regulatory environment for financial services
• Ability to absorb and apply regulatory material effectively
• Confident communicator with both front and back-office teams
• Excellent attention to detail and organisational skills
• Self-starter with the ability to work independently

• Life-changing equity opportunities for high performers
• Quarterly team celebrations
• Sponsored learning and professional development
• 25 days annual leave plus public holidays
• Enhanced maternity and paternity policies
• State-of-the-art gym with onsite personal trainer
