   • Develop and maintain risk assessment protocols, ensuring timely detection and mitigation of financial, operational, and compliance risks.
   • Implement second-level permanent controls and maintain real-time monitoring dashboards (KPIs) for effective internal oversight.
4. Process Optimization & Collaboration
   • Analyze existing compliance and operational processes, identifying opportunities to optimize and increase efficiency.
   • Partner with Finance, Legal, and Security teams to integrate new regulatory requirements and best practices seamlessly.

5. Reporting & Stakeholder Engagement
   • Prepare detailed reports on control findings, suspicious activity analyses, and regulatory updates for senior management.
   • Act as a liaison with regulators, external auditors, and internal teams, communicating compliance priorities and risk exposures clearly.
   • Escalate critical compliance or control issues to leadership and propose data-driven solutions.

What We’re Looking For

• 4+ years of experience in compliance, internal controls, risk management, audit, or a related field (public accounting or consulting background a plus).
• Demonstrated expertise in KYC/KYB, AML, sanctions screening, and fraud detection, with the ability to translate findings into actionable improvements.
