Senior Analyst, Financial Crime Compliance

Department: Compliance Reporting To: Manager, Financial Crime Compliance

Ebury Paris Office - Hybrid: 4 days in the office, 1 day working from home per week

About the Role:

We’re looking for a Senior Crypto Compliance Analyst who is passionate about crypto and digital assets and eager to help shape the compliance backbone of Ebury’s stablecoin and cross-border payments strategy.

You are a sharp, analytical, and detail-oriented compliance professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys turning complex regulatory expectations into clear, workable controls. Reporting to the Manager, Financial Crime Compliance, and working closely with the Head of Crypto Compliance, you will play a central role in the design, drafting, and continuous enhancement of Ebury’s global Financial Crime framework across AML, CTF, and ABC.

This is a hands-on delivery role with significant exposure to senior stakeholders, making it perfect for someone who is technically curious, comfortable with data, and eager to bridge the gap between traditional financial crime defense and crypto-native innovation.

Key Responsibilities:

I. Policy, Framework Drafting & Regulatory Research

• Drafting Support: Prepare first drafts and updates of group-wide Financial Crime policies, standards, and frameworks under the direction of the Manager, ensuring drafts are technically accurate, well-referenced, and consistent across jurisdictions, entities, and product lines. This includes developing internal policies for handling stablecoins, covering AML/CTF, on-chain transaction monitoring, wallet address screening, and “Know Your Wallet” (KYW) due diligence.
• Regulatory Research & Benchmarking: Conduct detailed regulatory research and benchmarking across UK, EU, and other relevant jurisdictions to inform framework design and evolution. Produce concise briefing notes summarising findings.
• Vertical-Specific Inputs: Support the development of frameworks for new client verticals by gathering risk inputs, mapping typologies, and drafting initial control sections.
• Advisory Support: Handle day-to-day policy queries from the business, providing well-reasoned interpretations and escalating complex matters to the Manager with a recommended position.
• Document Hygiene: Maintain version control, change logs, and the central library of financial crime policies and frameworks.

II. Business Partnership & Control Reviews

• Control Mapping: Map existing financial crime controls across business units, identifying friction points, duplication, and inefficiency for the Manager's review.
• Crypto Support to 1st line: Support to 1st line regarding sophisticated escalations and complex onboardings of crypto-exposed clients. 
• Enhancement Log Ownership: Maintain a live enhancement log of identified opportunities, prioritised by risk and business impact, and track progress to closure.
• Process Documentation: Document current-state processes and support workshops on redesign with Operations, Product, and Technology teams, ensuring compliance outcomes are preserved or improved.

III. Tooling, Automation & AI Support

• FCC Tooling Configuration: Support the implementation, configuration, and optimization of specialized crypto compliance tools (transaction monitoring, screening, Travel Rule).
• Use Case Identification: Help identify and assess automation and AI use cases across the financial crime function, gathering business requirements and quantifying expected benefits.
• Tooling Rollout Support: Support the rollout of AI agents and AI-assisted tooling — including user testing, documentation of controls, performance monitoring, and feedback loops with Technology and Data teams.
• AI Governance Operations: Maintain testing logs, model monitoring records, and supporting documentation in line with the firm's AI governance requirements (model risk, explainability, human oversight).

IV. Investigations, Risk Assessment & Executive Reporting Support

• On-Chain Investigations: Support the Transaction Monitoring (TM) team on the most sophisticated on-chain investigations once the crypto transaction monitoring system (TMS) is live.
• BWRA Support: Support the annual Business Wide Risk Assessment by coordinating data gathering, performing risk analysis, drafting allocated sections, and consolidating regional inputs into the master document.
• MLRO Report Collation: Collate inputs from local MLRO reports, format them into a consistent structure, and fact-check against source data.
• Executive Pack Preparation: Prepare data, charts, and draft sections for Compliance and Risk Committee papers, ensuring accuracy, clarity, and consistency of message.
• Horizon Scanning: Monitor regulatory developments across in-scope jurisdictions and prepare briefing notes flagging changes that may require strategic response.

V. Management Information & Analysis

• MI Production: Produce ongoing MI on the health of the Financial Crime Programme — monthly, quarterly, and ad-hoc — across operational and Board-level audiences.
• Dashboard Development: Build and maintain dashboards and recurring reports, working with Data teams where needed.
• Trend Analysis: Analyse data to identify trends, outliers, and anomalies, surfacing observations that support the Manager's narrative commentary and programme opinion.

VI. Training & Culture Support

• Training Coordination: Support the development and rollout of Ebury's Financial Crime Training Plan and Academy, including drafting modules, coordinating delivery, and tracking completion.
• Module Updates: Update training content to reflect regulatory developments, policy changes, and insights from the BWRA and advisory work.
• Content Delivery: Contribute to crypto compliance training modules for compliance and ops teams, helping the wider firm identify crypto-native red flags and reflect recent regulatory developments. 

Required Qualifications

• Experience: 3+ years of experience in AML/CTF Compliance, Financial Crime, or Regulatory Risk within financial services — ideally payments, FX, banking, FinTech or Crypto.
• Crypto Knowledge: Strong understanding of stablecoins, public blockchains, wallet infrastructures and the crypto compliance toolset (on-chain analytics, screening, Travel Rule); Hands-on experience with crypto compliance vendors (e.g. Chainalysis, TRM Labs, Elliptic, Notabene, Sumsub or equivalents).
• Drafting Skills: Proven ability to draft clear, technically accurate compliance documentation (policies, procedures, risk assessments, committee papers, briefing notes).
• Regulatory Knowledge: Working knowledge of UK and/or EU financial crime regulation, including crypto regulation (MiCA, TFR / Travel Rule, FATF guidance), with appetite to deepen jurisdictional expertise.
• Analytical & Data Skills: Strong analytical mindset with demonstrable comfort working with data. Excel to a high standard is essential; Experience with or an appetite to learn BI tools (Tableau, Power BI, Looker) and/or SQL is strongly preferred.
• Automation & AI Curiosity: Genuine interest in control automation, RegTech, and AI-enabled compliance, and willingness to partner closely with Technology and Data teams on delivery.
• Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, able to translate complex regulatory or technical concepts into clear narrative for both operational and executive audiences.
• Self-Starter: Comfortable managing multiple workstreams in parallel, taking initiative, and operating with limited supervision.
