About this role in the team:

We are looking for a crypto transaction monitoring analyst to join our fast-growing Financial Crime Intelligence team. This role will report to one of the Financial Crime Intelligence Leads.

As a Financial Crime Intelligence Analyst, you'll play a key role in handling screening and transaction monitoring alerts to prevent bad actors from processing transactions through BVNK. You’ll also conduct in-depth analysis and thorough investigations to address complex and varied financial crime threats. You’ll be taking ownership of cases triggered by BVNK’s financial crime systems and controls, focussing primarily on BVNK’s digital assets offering, and mitigating financial crime risks for BVNK. While this role focuses on BVNK’s digital assets offering, your cases will inevitably crossover with the world of fiat currency and you’ll have the opportunity to support cutting-edge investigations in fiat and digital assets.

We are seeking a candidate who can commit to a full-time schedule. Available shifts will be discussed and selected during the recruitment process.

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 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, payment screening tools, blockchain analytics provider, and other triggers;
• Drafting of Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) for submission to the relevant authorities;
• Seeking out and escalating opportunities to enhance BVNK’s control environment;
• Working closely with colleagues responsible for BVNK’s transaction monitoring systems; identifying and testing changes to the rules in our transaction monitoring system.

We’d love to hear from you if:

• You have at least 1 year experience in digital assets transaction monitoring within a regulated institution. Experience in a B2B context is essential, as we are primarily a B2B business. However, familiarity with B2C environments is a plus, as we are preparing to launch a consumer-facing product soon;
• You have experience reviewing sanctions and watchlist screening alerts, within a regulated institution or digital asset setting;
• Experience using tools such as Chainalysis, Elliptic or TRM (or equivalent) is essential and any blockchain related investigative certifications is desirable but not required; 
• 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 a genuine interest in digital assets, and are looking for an opportunity to expand your knowledge in this space; and
• 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.
