Taptap Send is seeking a Senior Compliance Analyst to join our Financial Crime team. The role is full-time and based in one of our global offices (London, Brussels, Dubai, Casablanca or Singapore). You will report to one of our 1st line compliance leads and work closely with our partner onboarding, risk, and operations teams to execute due diligence across Taptap Send's growing network of counterparties, payout partners, and business customers.

Owning partner and customer due diligence cases end-to-end, from initial onboarding through ongoing monitoring and offboarding
Conducting due diligence reviews on counterparties, assessing the complexity of corporate structures and fund flows and identifying risks with minimal supervision
Identifying and rating AML, sanctions, PEP, and reputational risks, and escalating appropriately to senior stakeholders
Managing trading/brokerage customer lifecycle (onboarding, periodic reviews, offboarding) in line with internal policy and regulatory requirements
Coordinating multi-round due diligence with partners and external counterparties, managing follow-ups efficiently and professionally
Supporting concurrent workstreams including payout partner onboarding, vendor due diligence, and bank refreshes
Producing audit-ready documentation that consistently meets QA standards
Liaising with internal teams (Risk, Legal, Operations, Product) and external partners to resolve due diligence queries
Contributing to process improvements as we scale tooling and workflows, including use of platforms like AiPrise
You have:
3+ years of experience in a compliance, due diligence, or financial crime role within a regulated financial institution - ideally a fintech, payments business, or remittance company
Strong working knowledge of KYB/KYC requirements, AML legislation, sanctions frameworks, and PEP screening
Experience assessing complex counterparty structures and fund flows and translating findings into clear risk ratings
A track record of producing high-quality, audit-ready case documentation
The ability to manage multiple cases concurrently, prioritise effectively, and meet SLA targets
Clear, professional communication skills - comfortable liaising directly with partners and internal stakeholders
Familiarity with compliance tooling (transaction monitoring, sanction screening, KYB platforms); experience with AiPrise or similar a plus
Attention to detail and the confidence to defend your risk assessments when challenged
Proficiency in English (required); additional languages a bonus
