Compliance Analyst, Finance & Banking

Compliance Analyst – Full-time, Permanent

Location: Remote (UK) | Occasional visits to Southampton

If you’re a Compliance Analyst who enjoys investigative work rather than purely policy oversight, this role offers ownership, variety and impact.

You’ll be working closely with the DMLRO in a practical, operational compliance role within a scaling fintech. Day to day, you’ll be conducting due diligence, reviewing source of funds and wealth, investigating transaction monitoring alerts, and supporting fraud investigations.

This is a live, fast-moving environment, ideal for someone who enjoys analysing complex information, making sound risk-based decisions, and being directly involved in protecting customers and regulated partners.

The role sits within a specialist debit card and expense management platform serving a global, high-end, luxury industry. The nature of the client base means high-value transactions, multiple currencies, and cross-jurisdictional considerations, making robust AML and fraud controls absolutely critical.

• Basic annual salary £45,000 - £50,000 p.a.
• Fully remote working – work from anywhere in the UK with occasional Southampton visits
• Flexible working culture that understands the importance of family, wellbeing, and work-life balance
• Generous/unlimited holiday policy (28 days pro-rata + bank holidays as standard, with flexible ‘fair use’ for more if needed)
• Group life assurance
• Income protection
• Mental health support programmes
• Company retreats and opportunities for travel
• A supportive, entrepreneurial team environment with a strong sense of purpose

As a Compliance Analyst, you’ll join a small, collaborative team where compliance is central to the business and your work really matters. Your responsibilities will include:

• Conducting CDD, EDD, KYC and KYB checks
• Reviewing identity, SOF and SOW documentation
• Maintaining accurate onboarding and compliance records
• Investigating transaction monitoring alerts
• Escalating suspicious activity and support SAR preparation
• Monitoring screening alerts and ongoing customer risk profiles
• Supporting fraud, chargeback and unauthorised transaction investigations
• Clearly documenting investigations and decisions
• Assisting with compliance reporting and policy updates
• Deputising for the Compliance Officer when required

They’re looking for a Compliance Analyst who:

• At least 2 years’ experience as a Compliance Analyst in AML / Financial Crime
• Background in fintech, payments, banking, or financial services
• Experience with CDD / EDD / KYC / KYB
• Experience reviewing transaction monitoring alerts
• Good knowledge of UK & EU AML regulations
• Strong analytical and investigative skills
• Comfortable working independently in a remote role

Nice to have but not essential:

• Experience with high-net-worth or corporate clients (preferably with knowledge of the superyacht industry)
• Experience using screening / verification tools (e.g. Sumsub)
• ICA or ACAMS (or working towards)
• Experience in a start-up or scaling business
• Interest in technology / AI-driven tools

This role will suit a Compliance Analyst who enjoys the operational side of compliance, such as investigations, analysis, and real-time decision-making.

You’ll be trusted to take ownership, supported by an experienced team, and exposed to complex financial crime scenarios in a growing fintech environment.
