About the Role
We are seeking a driven and detail-oriented AML Analyst to join our growing Compliance team in Luxembourg.

You'll thrive in a collaborative setting and be empowered to contribute to regulatory readiness, investigative depth, and operational excellence.

What You'll Do
- Support the design and maintenance of AML/CTF policies and procedures aligned with CSSF expectations, EU regulations, and industry best practices.
- Act as an initial escalation point for complex alerts and reviews, providing quality control and guidance to junior team members.
- Perform enhanced due diligence (EDD) on high-risk customers and escalate findings to the MLRO with well-documented analysis and recommendations.
- Assist the MLRO in preparing internal reporting packs, suspicious activity reports (SARs), and regulatory submissions to the Luxembourg FIU.
- Monitor and investigate transaction monitoring alerts, identify trends, and propose control improvements.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams-including Operations, Product, and Risk-to ensure customer onboarding, CDD, and screening processes remain compliant and risk-appropriate.
