A global FX/FinTech firm is looking for a Senior Compliance Analyst to join their Seychelles office. You will be required to safeguard their business and clients by driving a strong culture of compliance across operations. Your analytical expertise ensures internal processes meet regulatory and policy requirements, while reinforcing the integrity of our business practices. Using advanced, AI-enhanced tools, you'll strengthen our ability to assess issues, support effective decision-making, and contribute to lasting improvements across the organisation. We're building continuous monitoring, automated screening, and audit trails that hold up to regulatory scrutiny—because they're more consistent than checking things by hand. You'll work inside those systems, using AI-enhanced tooling to assess issues faster and go deeper than a spreadsheet ever could.
MAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILTIES
-
Account & Transaction Investigation — Analysing flagged accounts and transaction activity to identify compliance concerns
-
Customer Due Diligence — Running comprehensive customer reviews against internal policy and regulatory requirements
-
High-Value Transaction Review — Assessing large deposits and withdrawals through AI-powered review procedures
-
Screening & Reporting — PEP, sanctions, and adverse media screening, plus internal reporting and regulatory filing support
-
Investigate flagged client accounts by analysing transactions and account activity to identify compliance concerns others might miss
-
Carry out comprehensive customer reviews and due diligence checks, and make the call on adherence to internal policy and regulatory requirements
-
Assess high-value deposit and withdrawal requests by reviewing transaction histories and applying internal review procedures through AI-powered tools
-
Screen clients against PEP lists, global sanctions databases, and adverse media—and decide when a hit is noise versus signal
-
Prepare compliance reports that stand up to scrutiny, and support regulatory filings where required
-
Work directly with operational and product teams to explain what compliance actually requires and where their process needs to change
-
Spot where a compliance process is weaker than it should be, and help fix it—not just flag it
-
Give a clear, defensible answer on complex compliance questions when the rest of the team isn't sure
CANDIDATE PROFILE
-
A university degree in finance, economics, law, risk management, criminology, business studies, data science, management, or a related field,
-
5+ years of compliance experience in financial services, fintech, investment services, or another regulated environment.
-
You know what "compliant" actually requires. Strong knowledge of regulatory requirements and industry standards, with real experience in customer due diligence, transaction reviews, and sanctions screening—not just training on them.
-
You find the pattern in the noise. Strong analytical skills for spotting anomalies in transaction data, comfortable in Excel and with complex datasets.
-
You write and speak with precision. Clear English, meticulous attention to detail, and the judgment to make sound calls on limited information without cutting corners on compliance standards.
-
You act with integrity when no one's checking. Reliable, self-motivated, and adaptable when priorities shift—and genuinely interested in what AI tools can do for compliance work, not just tolerant of them.
-
You can hold a hard conversation. The confidence and professionalism to push back on operational or product teams when their plan doesn't meet the standard.
-
You'll own calls where getting it wrong means regulatory exposure, not just an unhappy customer. You'll balance thoroughness against operational speed, and you'll need to defend a judgment call to people—internal teams, auditors, sometimes regulators—who weren't in the room when you made it.
