What are the responsibilities and job description for the Anti-Money Laundering Analyst position at Jobgether?
This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for an Anti-Money Laundering Analyst based in Canada.
This role offers the opportunity to play a hands-on part in protecting a fast-moving cryptocurrency business from financial crime and regulatory risk.
You will investigate suspicious activity across digital platforms and a large-scale cryptocurrency transaction network.
The position combines transaction monitoring, AML/BSA compliance, KYC/CDD reviews, sanctions screening, and investigative analysis.
You will use data and blockchain analytics to identify patterns, assess risk, and make well-supported compliance decisions.
Your work will help strengthen controls, support regulatory obligations, and surface actionable insights for leadership.
You will collaborate with compliance teams, regulators, auditors, and business stakeholders in a rapidly evolving environment.
This is an excellent opportunity for a detail-oriented AML professional who wants to take genuine ownership of risk decisions rather than simply follow checklists.
- Investigate and assess financial crime risks associated with cryptocurrency kiosk operations and digital platforms, with particular focus on high-risk activity.
- Review and analyze transaction monitoring alerts to identify potentially suspicious activity and determine appropriate escalation and documentation.
- Conduct Know Your Customer (KYC) and Customer Due Diligence (CDD) reviews in accordance with applicable AML requirements.
- Screen customers and transactions against OFAC and other applicable sanctions lists and escalate potential matches appropriately.
- Prepare and file Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) and other required regulatory reports accurately and within applicable deadlines.
- Use blockchain analytics tools to trace cryptocurrency transactions, investigate activity, and assess counterparty and transactional risk.
- Communicate with regulators and auditors regarding risk monitoring, controls, prioritization methodologies, and investigative findings.
- Develop and report risk mitigation information, identify emerging trends, and provide insights that leadership can use to strengthen the compliance program.
- Review internal data, systems, controls, and processes to verify adherence to AML requirements and identify potential compliance gaps.
- Recommend improvements to AML processes, controls, workflows, and monitoring practices when opportunities or deficiencies are identified.
- Stay current with evolving AML/BSA regulations, FinCEN guidance, sanctions requirements, and cryptocurrency-specific compliance developments.
- Support additional compliance initiatives, investigations, and special projects as required.
Requirements
- Hands-on experience in AML, BSA compliance, fraud investigations, financial crime compliance, or a closely related field.
- Experience within fintech, money services businesses (MSBs), cryptocurrency exchanges, financial institutions, or similar regulated environments is strongly preferred.
- Solid knowledge of AML/BSA regulations, KYC and CDD requirements, transaction monitoring, and sanctions screening, including OFAC requirements.
- Familiarity with cryptocurrency transactions and blockchain-based financial activity is highly desirable.
- Experience using blockchain analytics or transaction monitoring platforms such as Chainalysis, Elliptic, or comparable tools is a strong advantage.
- Strong analytical skills, with the ability to identify unusual patterns, inconsistencies, and potential risk indicators within high-volume transaction data.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain complex risk findings clearly to regulators, auditors, compliance teams, and non-compliance stakeholders.
- Strong attention to detail and the ability to produce accurate, well-supported investigative documentation.
- Ability to manage multiple investigations and priorities simultaneously while consistently meeting deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
- Proactive, solutions-oriented approach with strong organization, time management, independent judgment, and problem-solving skills.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Adobe Acrobat.
- Ability to exercise sound judgment when assessing risk and determining when activity requires escalation or further investigation.
- Candidates must be currently based in Latin America or Europe according to the engagement requirements.
Benefits

- 100% remote work arrangement.
- Opportunity to work within the rapidly evolving cryptocurrency and fintech sector.
