At Embankment, we’re on a mission to simplify and modernize fund governance for a new era of alternative investing. As a KYC/AML Officer, you’ll help uphold the highest standards of compliance and investor integrity while delivering thoughtful, timely service to our customers.

This is an opportunity to join a fintech scale-up with strong momentum and take ownership of critical due diligence and anti-financial crime efforts, working across teams to support fund operations in a digital-first environment.

What you will do

In this role, you’ll ensure high-quality compliance standards while helping clients navigate KYC/AML requirements with clarity and confidence:

• Conduct and review KYC/AML due diligence for customers, ensuring documentation is complete, accurate, and regulatory aligned

• Monitor ongoing activity and escalate potential red flags, contributing to a robust and risk-aware compliance environment

• Collaborate closely with fund operations teams to integrate compliance into investor onboarding and transaction flows without friction

• Maintain and improve internal KYC/AML processes, focusing on clarity, auditability, and efficiency 

• Serve as a key point of contact for clients on KYC/AML-related inquiries, balancing compliance with a service-oriented mindset

  
  

About you

You are a detail-oriented compliance professional who thrives in a collaborative setting. You know how to apply rules rigorously without losing sight of the people behind the paperwork. 

Here’s what we’re looking for:

• A relevant academic background in law, business, finance, or a related field

• 2+ years of experience working with KYC/AML, preferably in the financial sector or fund services industry

• Familiarity with EU AML regulations, investor due diligence requirements, and risk-based approaches to compliance

As a person you communicate clearly, collaborate naturally, and take ownership of your tasks from start to finish. You’re proactive, structured, and service-minded and you thrive in a setting where accuracy matters and teamwork is key. You’re not only motivated by ticking regulatory boxes, but also by helping customers and colleagues feel supported, informed, and confident in the process.

At Embankment, you’ll be part of a purpose-driven team working to make investor protection smarter, faster, and more transparent. You’ll gain deep exposure to alternative investment funds, help shape modern compliance practices, and contribute directly to building a trusted infrastructure for the asset managers of tomorrow.
