Offer risk-based recommendations and ensure consistency with internal policies and external regulatory expectations. Conduct in-depth reviews of business customers, including detailed analysis of corporate structures, ownership chains, and control mechanisms. Validate source of funds and source of wealth information to ensure coherence with the customer’s expected transactional behavior and economic profile. Collaborate with internal stakeholders across Compliance, Sales, Operations, and Product to align risk management practices with business goals. Escalate high-risk relationships, red flags, or anomalies to the Anti-Money Laundering Officer (AMLO), preparing well-documented justifications and risk assessments to support decision-making. Review and validate first-line onboarding processes for adherence to internal standards and regulatory obligations. Provide feedback, identify gaps, and recommend improvements to drive consistency and regulatory compliance. Actively contribute to the enhancement of onboarding and monitoring frameworks, including the development of procedural documentation, decisioning guidelines, and control mechanisms that support a sustainable and scalable AFC compliance infrastructure.

Who you are:

Educational Background: You hold a university degree in Law, Business, Economics, Finance, or a comparable field that provides a strong foundation in regulatory compliance and risk management. Professional Experience: You bring proven, hands-on experience in a KYC or Compliance role within a regulated financial institution (e.g. bank, payment service provider, or similar), with a strong focus on the onboarding and review of business customers in line with Austrian AML regulations. You have independently conducted due diligence on complex legal entities, assessed beneficial ownership structures, and applied risk-based approaches in accordance with national regulatory requirements. Your expertise enables you to confidently interpret legal and regulatory expectations and ensure their effective application in operational processes. Experience with the German AML/CFT framework is a plus. Technical & Analytical Competence: you are capable of interpreting and assessing structured data to support compliance decisions and investigations. Experience in extracting and analyzing data using Snowflake SQL is a strong advantage and enables you to translate data insights into risk indicators and operational improvements.
