- • You will conduct screening and adverse media checks on customers and counterparties to assess risk and ensure ongoing compliance with sanctions, PEP, and negative news obligations.
- • You will ensure customer compliance with applicable AML/CFT laws and regulations, helping Circle meet its obligations to regulatory authorities such as the Central Bank of Ireland, FinCEN, and other global regulators.
- • You will maintain a strong operational focus, managing time-sensitive workflows across competing priorities while upholding high standards of accuracy, timeliness, and regulatory compliance.
- • You will collaborate with policy, compliance, data, and technology teams to share investigative insights, detect emerging typologies, and provide feedback to improve detection models, thresholds, and rule coverage for greater efficiency and effectiveness.
- • You will break down complex business problems into structured analytical approaches, formalizing findings into clear, logical, and actionable reports that support decision-making across the organization.
- • You will conduct training and provide feedback to junior Transaction Monitoring (TM) analysts as needed, helping to build team capability and promote consistent investigative standards.
- • You will contribute to a culture of continuous improvement by suggesting and supporting the adoption of automation, AI, and machine learning tools to optimize alert triage, data enrichment, and investigative analysis.
🎯 Requirements
- • 3+ years of experience conducting AML alert review, investigation, and applicable reporting, with strong knowledge of AML regulations and compliance frameworks.
- • Deep understanding of blockchain ecosystems, Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs), and evolving global AML/CFT regulations, particularly as they apply to digital assets and stablecoins.
- • Strong organizational, analytical, written, and verbal communication skills, with close attention to detail and the ability to make reasoned, supported decisions under pressure.
- • Experience analyzing large transactional data sets; SQL experience is preferred for efficient data querying and pattern recognition.
- • Ability to work well under pressure and tight deadlines, with proven skill in prioritizing workloads and completing tasks in a timely manner.
- • Comfort working in a rapidly changing industry, with flexibility to adapt quickly to new demands, technologies, and regulatory developments.
- • Proven experience collaborating effectively with multiple stakeholders and internal teams across compliance, legal, policy, and technology functions.
- • Interest or experience applying artificial intelligence, automation, or machine learning tools to optimize AML workflows, such as alert triage, data enrichment, and investigative analysis.
- • Familiarity with generative AI models (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini) and prompt development to support investigative efficiency and documentation.
🏖️ Benefits
- • Competitive compensation package aligned with experience, skills, and qualifications, reflecting Circle’s commitment to fair and transparent pay practices.
- • Flexible, remote-first work environment based in Ireland, enabling work-life balance while collaborating with a global team across time zones.
