AML Compliance Officer

To achieve this, we are looking for an AML Compliance Expert to join our AML Compliance Department based in Amsterdam and covering our global business. Do you want to be at the forefront of the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing and join a passionate team of AML Compliance experts? And are you somebody who enjoys the challenge of navigating AML Compliance matters in a growing and dynamic business? Then, this is the role for you!

What you’ll do

In scope of this team are AML expert advice on client onboarding and review, sanctions, AML referrals from internal and external stakeholders, design of risk based AML controls for new product and client setups as well as AML process design and training.
• Analyze regulatory changes, new regulations, and internal policy changes and translate this in risk assessments and procedures. Subsequently, you will work together with internal departments to bring the necessary measures in place.
• Though operational work on the most individual merchants or setups is part of the scope, the role will require the expert to work on more holistic AML risk assessments of merchant groups, products and industries.
• Challenge the status quo continuously, finding AML Compliance solutions for new products, setups and processes.
• Engage with key stakeholders in and outside of the Compliance teams, and work cooperatively to design, develop and implement enhancements.

• Ability to adapt to a very dynamic environment and handle multiple priorities at the same time.
