Our client is an ASX-listed property technology business seeking an experienced AML Risk Analyst to support KYB checks.

This is a hands-on operational risk role focused on conducting KYB reviews, assessing corporate entity structures, identifying beneficial ownership, reviewing trust arrangements and escalating complex cases where required.

  • Work collaboratively with AML, Risk, Legal, Operations and Customer Onboarding teams.

SELECTION CRITERIA:
