We’re looking for an AML / FinCrime Ops Process Management Expert who combines hands‑on investigative skills with deep AML / FinCrime process support. This is a position for someone who can wear both hats — the subject‑matter expert who shapes frameworks and the investigator who dives into complex cases when it matters. You’ll help build and refine Klarna’s Financial Crime framework, ensuring we meet EU regulatory requirements while staying ahead of emerging risks. The position may evolve over time — starting with a balance of SME, operational support, and maintenance work, and expanding into deeper high‑risk industry investigations as Klarna grows.
Who You Are
- Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Law, Business, Journalism, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
- 3+ years of experience in AML or Financial Crime investigations and/or subject‑matter expert positions within fintech, banking, or payments
- Strong understanding of EU AML Directives, SAR processes, and MLRO responsibilities
- Proven experience maintaining and improving AML or Financial Crime processes, documentation, and operational frameworks
- Experience supporting transaction monitoring, fraud or money laundering case reviews, and quality control processes
- Ability to balance subject‑matter expertise with hands‑on investigative work depending on business needs
- Strong analytical mindset with experience working with large datasets; familiarity with SQL is a plus
Awesome to Have
- CAMS, ICA, or similar certification
- Experience within crypto, gambling, or investment‑related financial crime environments
- Experience conducting complex or cross‑border investigations involving high‑risk industries or typologies
- Knowledge of transaction monitoring and screening systems, including testing and tuning
- Experience applying OSINT techniques and advanced investigative methods
Please include a CV in English.
