KYB Specialist - Poland Remote in London

This is about being the gatekeeper for our corporate onboarding in a rapidly scaling fintech. You won't just be reviewing PDFs; you'll be performing deep-dive investigations into complex global corporate structures to identify UBOs and assess institutional risk. We're looking for a fintech native who understands the speed of our industry and the nuances of non-traditional business models. You will have the freedom to make real, impactful decisions from day one.

We are transforming payments for global platforms and e-commerce businesses. As the world's first payments curation platform, we simplify cross-border transactions by uniting best-in-class infrastructure into a seamless ecosystem, enabling businesses to scale and operate effortlessly across borders. Cross-border workforce payments are slow, expensive, and outdated. Businesses rely on us to pay their people accurately and on time - contractors, freelancers, and employees across the globe. When we say we'll deliver, failure isn't an option.

What This Role Demands:

• You Own the Gate – You're accountable for every corporate entity we onboard. If a structure is high-risk, it's on you to find it, map it, and mitigate it.
• You Ask the Hard Questions – You don't just gather documents; you challenge ownership assumptions and push for the truth behind complex shells.
• You Fix What's Broken – If a KYB workflow is clunky or an automation tool is failing, you dive in and solve it with the Regulatory Compliance team.
• You're Hands-On – One minute you're mapping a 5-tier ownership structure, the next you're escalating a high-precision PEP match to the MLRO.
• You Thrive in Chaos – Startups are messy. Regulations change and priorities shift. You bring clarity to complex cases without getting bogged down by rigid, outdated processes.

What You'll Be Doing:

• End-to-End Onboarding: Conduct comprehensive reviews of new corporate accounts, ensuring full alignment with internal frameworks.
• Deep-Dive Due Diligence: Execute rigorous KYB, including UBO identification, identity verification, and exhaustive PEP/Sanctions screening.
• Lifecycle Compliance: Manage the full suite of CDD, EDD, and ODD, alongside real-time Transaction Monitoring.
• Risk Escalation: Proactively identify suspicious patterns and manage the escalation lifecycle to the MLRO.
• Regulatory Alignment: Collaborate with internal departments to refine procedures in response to the evolving legislative landscape (5AMLD/6AMLD).
• Data Integrity: Uphold the highest standards of GDPR and data protection for sensitive corporate information.

What We're Looking For:

• Professional Experience: 3+ years of dedicated experience in AML Compliance or KYB Operations, preferably in a high-growth Fintech.
• Sector Expertise: Robust understanding of the Payments ecosystem, transaction flows, and EMI risk typologies.
• Tool Ninja: Hands‐on experience with LexisNexis RiskNarrative, TrueBiz, or similar automated verification platforms.
• Regulatory Knowledge: Deep working knowledge of European AML/CFT Directives (5AMLD/6AMLD).
• Industry Certification: ACAMS (CAMS) or ICA certification is a distinct advantage.
• Self‐Starter Mentality: You are a proactive professional with a high degree of autonomy. You take full ownership of complex cases and drive them to resolution without needing a map.
• Precision & Accuracy: You are detail‐obsessed. You don't miss a thing. Your ability to spot a discrepancy in a registry filing is top‐notch.
• Communication & Influence: You have outstanding interpersonal skills. You can articulate complex compliance findings clearly to both internal stakeholders and external partners.

You may not possess every single required skill listed, and that's perfectly fine. If you have most of them, along with grit, passion, a desire to learn quickly, and the willingness to get stuck in, we encourage you to apply.
