  • Run screening for sanctions, PEPs and adverse media; investigate, document and escalate potential matches

  • Support third‑party oversight (where applicable): collect AML questionnaires, policies and attestations; keep registers current
  • Keep artefacts orderly for audits/inspections (approvals, training logs, attestations, meeting notes)
  • Collaborate with Product & Engineering to improve KYC workflows, data capture and evidence quality
  • Contribute to staff awareness and CPT logs; flag gaps in procedures and help update playbooks

  • Case management/ticketing and document management with access controls
  • Risk scoring, customer segmentation and review cadences

  • Strong case writing and investigation skills; comfortable with CDD/EDD, ownership chains and SoF/SoW analysis
  • Confident using screening tools and documenting hits, false positives and escalations
  • Excellent written English; additional languages are an advantage in a multi‑language client environment
  • Ability to work on‑site in Limassol and partner effectively with Legal & Risk and Client Operations
