Job Description

Description
We are seeking a diligent and experienced Financial Crime Analyst to join our team and help us ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of our KYC processes, financial crime reporting, processes, and documentation within the organization. You will work closely with the Financial Crime team to ensure that customer onboarding, due diligence, and ongoing monitoring adhere to regulatory requirements and the company's policies. One of the key responsibilities is to ensure that eToro complies with all relevant laws, regulations, and code of best business practice.

As the Financial Crime Analyst, you will take responsibility for:

1. Quality Assurance & Control

• Conduct regular quality assurance (QA) audits and reviews of KYC and Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) files to ensure compliance with internal policies and regulatory standards.

• Review and assess the completeness and accuracy of customer documentation, including identity verification, beneficial ownership, and risk assessments.

• Perform quality control (QC) checks to ensure client data (e.g., name, address, identification) is consistent and up-to-date across systems.

• Design and implement QA/QC frameworks, policies, and reporting mechanisms to support continuous monitoring and process improvement.

• Maintain organized and accessible records of all QA activities for audit and regulatory review.
2. Transaction Monitoring & Screening Effectiveness

• Review financial crime escalations and Level 2 transaction monitoring alerts, recommending control enhancements where needed.

• Test transaction monitoring and screening system rules and thresholds to ensure accuracy, appropriate coverage, and risk responsiveness.

• Evaluate alert quality by reviewing a sample of generated alerts to assess false positive/negative rates and optimize system performance.

• Conduct stress testing of systems to assess capacity during periods of high alert volumes.

• Ensure matching logic and algorithm configurations in screening tools are functioning properly to detect sanctioned entities without creating unnecessary friction.
3. Client Lifecycle Oversight

• Monitor the timeliness and accuracy of client onboarding, periodic reviews, and risk classification of high-risk clients.

• Validate that expired or outdated client documents are identified and addressed to maintain file completeness.

• Support client file remediation activities during system migrations, ensuring all documentation is brought up to standard before transfer.
4. Staff, Vendors & Training Oversight

• Conduct periodic employee screening, focusing on those in high-risk roles, and extend coverage to all staff as necessary.

• Review and maintain the gifts and hospitality register, flagging outliers or potential breaches.

• Validate completion and effectiveness of mandatory compliance training programs, such as AML and sanctions.

• Conduct annual due diligence reviews of third-party vendors to ensure compliance with internal standards.
5. Governance, Reporting & Risk Management

• Prepare and present comprehensive financial crime risk reports to senior stakeholders, summarizing trends, QA findings, and risk mitigation measures.

• Conduct annual walkthroughs and testing of AML/CTF policies and procedures to ensure staff understanding and implementation across departments.

• Review and assess the whistleblowing process for confidentiality and effectiveness.

• Maintain the integrity and security of all compliance systems and AML-related data.

• Track internal audit actions, regulatory remediation items, and contribute to audit readiness.

• Coordinate internal or third-party audits and reviews of the financial crime control framework.
6. Readiness & Innovation

• Test the team's preparedness to respond to major financial crime scenarios (e.g., money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions violations, fraud).

• Identify and propose opportunities for process improvement, automation, or technology-driven enhancements across the financial crime program.

• Stay up-to-date with relevant laws, regulatory developments, market practices, and emerging risks in financial crime compliance.

Requirements

• A university degree in finance, law, business, international relations, or a related discipline.

• 3-5 years of relevant experience in financial crime compliance, AML operations, or KYC in a regulated financial institution or fintech environment.

• Familiarity with AML/CTF regulations and best practices across multiple jurisdictions.

• Experience working with monitoring systems, case management tools, and screening platforms.

• A strong sense of ownership, analytical thinking, and attention to detail.

• Comfortable handling complex data and systems while operating in a fast-paced environment.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across departments and geographies.
