We are seeking a Digital Assets/ Crypto Financial Crime Specialist to take ownership of blockchain investigations, transaction monitoring, and the financial crime control framework supporting our regulated digital assets business. This is a hands‑on role in a growing function. The successful candidate will help build the framework, monitoring scenarios, escalation paths, Travel Rule operations and then run it day‑to‑day, owning investigations, alert dispositions, and enhanced due diligence as volumes scale.

You will operate independently, work closely with the AMLCO, and act as the internal subject matter expert for digital asset financial crime risk. If you want to be a contributor inside a large compliance team, this role is not for you. If you want to stand up and own it, read on.

• Own the end‑to‑end review and disposition of transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, KYC, and blockchain analytics alerts related to stablecoin and digital asset activity.
• Investigate transactional activity involving digital assets, including on‑chain tracing, wallet exposure reviews, counter party analysis, and identification of financial crime typologies.
• Conduct enhanced due diligence reviews on higher‑risk customers, counter parties, wallets, and transactional activity.
• Prepare clear investigative rationales, escalation summaries, and suspicious activity reports where required.
• Operate and optimise blockchain analytics and monitoring tools such as Chainalysis, TRM Labs, Elliptic, Crystal, Notabene or similar platforms.
• Support implementation and oversight of Travel Rule requirements and related operational controls.
• Develop and improve internal procedures, risk frameworks, escalation processes, and monitoring controls related to digital assets and stable coins.
• Support tuning and optimisation of transaction monitoring scenarios and screening controls to improve effectiveness and reduce false positives.
• Work closely with onboarding, compliance, and operational teams on complex or higher‑risk cases.
• Monitor regulatory developments relating to digital assets, stable coins, AML/CTF obligations, sanctions, and DLT frameworks, translating requirements into practical operational controls.
• Act as an internal subject matter expert for digital asset financial crime risks, blockchain investigations, and emerging typologies.

• 3‑5+ years of AML, compliance, investigations, or financial crime experience within crypto or digital assets services environments.
• Strong practical experience investigating blockchain transactions and analysing on‑chain activity.
• Hands‑on experience using blockchain analytics and monitoring tools such as Chainalysis, TRM Labs, Elliptic, Crystal, or similar.
• Good understanding of stablecoin ecosystems, wallet structures, custodial and non‑custodial environments, Travel Rule requirements, sanctions exposure, and blockchain‑based AML typologies.
• Experience reviewing and dispositioning transaction monitoring and sanctions alerts.
• Experience creating or improving AML procedures, monitoring controls, operational frameworks, or investigation standards.
• Ability to work independently, exercise strong risk‑based judgement, and manage complex investigations with limited supervision.
• Strong analytical writing and investigative documentation skills.
• Business‑fluent English.

• Experience working independently within a standalone or small‑team compliance environment.
• ACAMS, ICA, CAMS, or equivalent certification.
• Experience supporting audits, regulatory reviews, or compliance inspections.
