About the Role

We are looking for an experienced AML Officer to support AML/KYC activities relating to IMC's crypto counterparties and digital asset business activities.

This role requires a strong understanding of AML/CTF risks associated with crypto markets, including exposure to high-risk counterparties, complex ownership structures, sanctions risk and enhanced due diligence requirements. The successful candidate will conduct risk assessments, challenge counterparties where necessary, and apply a pragmatic, risk-based approach in a fast-moving environment. You will combine analytical work with direct interaction with counterparties, front office teams and internal stakeholders.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Perform customer due diligence (CDD) and periodic reviews for crypto counterparties
  • Conduct risk-based counterparty reviews with enhanced due diligence (EDD) requirements
  • Analyze complex ownership and control structures, including offshore and layered structures
  • Conduct adverse media and sanctions screening using relevant screening tools
  • Engage directly with counterparties regarding AML/KYC requirements and documentation
  • Work closely with Trading, Legal, Compliance and operational teams on onboarding and risk matters
  • Support AML/KYC enhancement initiatives and draft policies and procedures

Requirements

  • 4+ years of AML/KYC/CDD experience within crypto, trading, banking, payment institutions or other regulated financial institutions
  • Strong understanding of enhanced due diligence (EDD) requirements and risk-based AML/KYC assessments
  • Prior familiarity with AML/CTF risks and typologies relevant to digital assets and crypto markets is preferred (but not mandatory)
  • Experience conducting independent risk assessments and exercising sound judgement
  • Familiarity with crypto transaction tracing and wallet screening tools is preferred
  • Knowledge of relevant AML/CTF legislation, including sanctions frameworks
  • Experience dealing with complex legal entity structures and institutional counterparties
  • CAMS certification preferred; crypto-related AML certifications are a plus
  • Strong analytical and investigative mindset
  • Ability to independently manage complex AML/KYC matters from onboarding through ongoing monitoring
  • Confident communicator, capable of interacting directly with counterparties and senior stakeholders
  • Pragmatic and risk-based approach to problem solving
  • Comfortable operating in a fast-paced and evolving regulatory environment
  • High level of ownership, accountability and attention to detail

What You'll Get

  • A high-impact role in a small, expert team holding significant regulatory responsibility
  • A collaborative, high-performance culture that rewards ownership and initiative
  • Exposure to AML operations across multiple jurisdictions
  • Support to obtain CAMS certification if not already held
