For a payment service provider that is part of an international financial services group, experienced KYC analysts are sought. The KYC team needs experienced analysts at short notice who can work independently from day one. The team works risk-based, meaning no fixed workflow is followed. For each client, the risks are determined and what this means for the file.
What you do
You independently assess merchants: the businesses that accept payments through the payment service provider. The portfolio is diverse, ranging from a bakery with a single terminal to a webshop or a holding with an online gaming license abroad. Your activities include:
- Conducting KYC and CDD reviews on new and existing clients.
- Analyzing business models: what does the business do, who is behind it, where does the money come from, and do the transaction volumes match the story?
- Independently setting the risk rating and deciding how deep your review needs to go.
- Weighing considerations and drawing conclusions, also when a file does not fit a standard pattern.
- Documenting your risk rating, conclusion, and reasoning, so that a colleague can follow your assessment.
- Escalating files that do not add up, with reasoning that holds.
What they ask You are analytical, independent, and comfortable taking ownership. You need little guidance and become productive quickly. In addition, you have:
- At least 5 years of experience in KYC and CDD reviews, part of it at a senior level. Preferably 5 to 7 years or more.
- Experience in a risk-based KYC environment, in which you identify and assess risks independently.
- The ability to understand business models and draw your own conclusions from them.
- Good command of English: you write conclusions that a compliance officer in another country can act on directly. Dutch is not required.
- Availability at short notice.
Desired.
- Experience at a payment service provider, acquirer, or other payment institution.
- Experience with online gaming clients.
- Experience with different client segments.
- Experience outside the large banks.
Practical
Your onboarding takes about three days, during which you work through cases with colleagues. After that, you work independently. You usually handle straightforward files on your own within a week. You join a small, close-knit KYC team of four analysts, most of whom have been in the team for years. There is a lot of knowledge to fall back on. The atmosphere is informal, and you get a lot of freedom and responsibility. The assignment initially runs for three months.
Extension is possible, a permanent position with the client is not expected in the short term.
