Senior KYC Analyst - KYC Managed Service

Capitex is a specialist financial crime compliance firm. We work only in financial crime - AML, KYC, KYB, sanctions, transaction monitoring and fraud - and we resource managed services and remediation programmes across London, Dubai and New York.

We are recruiting Senior KYC Analysts for a Know Your Assets managed service supporting a global asset manager's alternative investments business. Know Your Assets is the financial crime process used to assess the risk attached to a fund's underlying investments: the holding itself, its ownership and control structure, and the counterparties involved, including sanctions, PEP and adverse media exposure.

This is the enhanced due diligence tier. You will handle the complex end of the caseload - layered and opaque ownership structures, high-risk jurisdictions and sectors, PEP and adverse media exposure that needs resolving rather than just recording. The work is judgement-led: we are looking for people who identify the red flags a checklist does not anticipate, articulate the risk clearly in writing, and can stand behind that assessment with the business.

Responsibilities

- Complete enhanced due diligence on complex counterparties, deals and investment structures

- Unpick ownership and control chains, including nominee, trust and multi-jurisdictional arrangements

- Resolve sanctions, PEP and adverse media exposure, and determine whether risk is mitigated or must be escalated
