<h3>Job Description</h3>
Job Description
About us:
BVNK provides modern payment infrastructure for businesses. We unify banks and blockchains in a single platform. With BVNK, businesses can send and receive stablecoin payments, convert between currencies, and add stablecoin payments to their checkout. Using our flexible platform and robust global licensing and compliance expertise, innovators can launch new payment products quickly and compliantly.
We are a diverse team spread across EMEA, North America, and APAC, with a shared belief that all payment flows will interact with crypto in the coming decade, and BVNK will be at the forefront of this transformation of the financial system. 
We recently secured a strategic investment from Visa through their Visa Ventures arm. This follows our $50 million Series B in December, led by Haun Ventures with participation from Coinbase Ventures, Scribble Ventures, DRW Venture Capital, Avenir, and Tiger Global. The continued confidence from these leading investors has enabled us to accelerate our growth trajectory, and we're looking for smart, ambitious people to help us build the next generation of payments. 
We're incredibly honored to have made Newsweek's list of The Top 100 Global Most Loved Workplaces two years running (2023 and 2024) and to have been recognised by LinkedIn as one of the Top 20 Startups in the UK in 2024.
About this role in the team:
We are looking for a crypto transaction monitoring analyst to join our fast-growing Financial Crime Intelligence team. This role will report to one of the Financial Crime Intelligence Leads.
As a Financial Crime Intelligence Analyst, you'll play a key role in handling screening and transaction monitoring alerts to prevent bad actors from processing transactions through BVNK. You'll also conduct in-depth analysis and thorough investigations to address complex and varied financial crime threats. You'll be taking ownership of cases triggered by BVNK's financial crime systems and controls, focussing primarily on BVNK's digital assets offering, and mitigating financial crime risks for BVNK. While this role focuses on BVNK's digital assets offering, your cases will inevitably crossover with the world of fiat currency and you'll have the opportunity to support cutting-edge investigations in fiat and digital assets.
We are seeking a candidate who can commit to a full-time, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. PDT work schedule, Monday - Friday
We are looking for a team player; someone who is adaptable and enjoys solving complex problems in a constantly changing environment. You must be adept at managing competing priorities, and work well in a highly demanding environment. You will be comfortable delivering high quality investigations at pace, and presenting your findings and recommendations to senior stakeholders.
As a Financial Crime Intelligence Analyst, your day-to-day role will be varied, but will include tasks such as:
<ul>
<li>Reviewing of sanctions and watchlist screening alerts on entities and individuals on relevant lists;</li>
<li>Management of end-to-end financial crime investigations stemming from BVNK's transaction monitoring system, payment screening tools, blockchain analytics provider, and other triggers;</li>
<li>Receiving escalations from, and providing coaching to, more junior team members;</li>
<li>Drafting of Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) for submission to the relevant authorities;</li>
<li>Seeking out and escalating opportunities to enhance BVNK's control environment;</li>
<li>Working closely with colleagues responsible for BVNK's transaction monitoring systems; identifying and testing changes to the rules in our transaction monitoring system.</li>
</ul>
We'd love to hear from you if:
<ul>
<li>You have at least 2 years experience in digital assets transaction monitoring within a regulated institution. Experience in a B2B context is essential, as we are primarily a B2B business. However, familiarity with B2C environments is a plus, as we are preparing to launch a consumer-facing product soon;</li>
<li>You have experience reviewing sanctions and watchlist screening alerts, within a regulated institution or digital asset setting;</li>
<li>Experience using tools such as Chainalysis, Elliptic or TRM (or equivalent) is essential and any blockchain related investigative certifications is desirable but not required; </li>
<li>You've drafted and submitted Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs);</li>
<li>You're a motivated and proactive individual contributor, who takes pride in the quality of your work;</li>
<li>You're comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving and demanding environment, often with competing priorities;</li>
<li>You're happy working with a high degree of autonomy and managing evolving priorities to deliver against the team's strategy;</li>
<li>You have a genuine interest in digital assets, and are looking for an opportunity to expand your knowledge in this space; and</li>
<li>You have exceptional written and verbal English.</li>
</ul>
What you can expect from us:
<ul>
<li>Fair and competitive salary at every stage of your growth</li>
<li>Meaningful ownership in the business through our employee option scheme</li>
<li>A culture built on passionate growth-minded people</li>
<li>A flexible approach to holiday</li>
<li>Opportunities to travel to our offices around the world</li>
<li>An open and creative environment where you can help us define the future of BVNK, its culture, and its opportunity sets</li>
</ul>
At BVNK, we are focused on building a diverse and inclusive team. While you may not meet all of our requirements, we'd encourage you to apply if you meet the majority of our expectations. You may be a great fit for this role or another role in our team.
