What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a compliance role where I can own risk-based onboarding and KYC/AML checks, strengthen sanctions/PEP screening quality, and collaborate with compliance teams to keep decisions audit-ready and timely in a fast-paced, detail-focused environment.

I’m a detail-oriented, risk-aware CDD/AML Analyst with 3 years of experience delivering client due diligence, anti-money laundering compliance, and onboarding support in IT/legal and financial services environments. I assess complex client structures, run enhanced due diligence for high-risk cases, and ensure work aligns with UK and international AML standards.

In my current role as a Client Onboarding/CDD Analyst at Irwin Mitchell LLP, I conduct risk-based CDD and EDD for individuals, corporates, trusts, and PEPs. I verify identity documents under the Money Laundering Regulations 2017 and the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018, review source of wealth/funds, and perform adverse media and sanctions checks using tools such as WorldCheck, Dow Jones Risk & Compliance, and SmartSearch. I also manage end-to-end onboarding, assign risk levels, and escalate high-risk clients to the MLRO or Compliance team where required.

Previously, as a KYC/AML Analyst at Telus International, I categorized clients by risk level and used AML software and watchlists (including OFAC and UN sanctions) to screen for sanctions and PEPs. Earlier experience in customer support and operations strengthened how I communicate, resolve complex queries, and uphold service-level expectations—skills I bring into compliance work to keep stakeholders aligned and processes efficient.
