Are you a dedicated professional with a passion for Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance? An international law firm is seeking an AML Compliance Analyst to join its Office of General Counsel, which spearheads the firm's global risk and compliance strategy, including all AML-related policies and procedures.

In this role, you will be responsible for preparing, maintaining, and updating AML client due diligence records for the firm’s global clientele. Your primary duties will involve conducting thorough research and preparing comprehensive client due diligence packs for new clients, ensuring that reputational, ethical, and sanctions considerations are fully addressed. You'll work closely with other members of the AML team to ensure consistency and high standards across all client due diligence (CDD) packs globally.

Collaboration is key, and you will regularly liaise with colleagues across the firm’s global offices to deliver top-tier professional services to internal clients. You’ll also assist AML team members in preparing for both internal and external AML audits and provide general compliance support as needed. 

Additionally, you will play a pivotal role in training and developing other team members, offering feedback on potential enhancements to the firm's AML policies and processes. As the firm continues to evolve its AML systems, you will support senior management in introducing and implementing new software designed to streamline AML checks.

The ideal candidate will have a university degree, strong communication, research, and analytical skills, and experience handling complex AML and financial crime-related queries. You should be comfortable working under pressure and possess a solid understanding of current AML regulations and applicable regulatory guidance in the UK. Experience in an international law firm or professional services environment is essential, along with a genuine desire to build a career in AML and a willingness to expand your knowledge in risk and compliance.

If you are looking to take the next step in your AML career with a firm committed to maintaining the highest standards of compliance, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.
