What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a KYC/AML/FinCrime role where I can run ODD/CDD/KYB/EDD, perform AML risk assessments and investigations, escalate red flags clearly, and help build scalable, compliant workflows with strong stakeholder collaboration.

I’m a client-focused KYC/AML and risk management professional with 5+ years of experience executing KYC/AML processes, Customer Due Diligence (CDD), Know Your Business (KYB), Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD), and AML risk assessments across fintech, crypto, and payments.

I’ve performed due diligence on new and existing clients/vendors, identifying red flag situations, escalating potential risks and operational issues, and communicating findings clearly to stakeholders. I’m used to managing high-volume workflows while ensuring compliance with internal policies and regulatory requirements (FATF, OFAC, EU AMLD, FinCEN).

In recent roles, I conducted Ongoing Due Diligence (ODD) through periodic and trigger-event reviews, ran KYB and EDD analyses for business clients, and assessed AML/TF risks by reviewing ownership structures, operational activities, jurisdictional exposure, and transaction activity. I prioritized high-impact cases, provided detailed case documentation with clear rationale, and supported documentation retention and resolution of client-related compliance issues while meeting SLA targets.

As a Founder for a Fintech & Crypto Platform onboarding initiative, I designed onboarding workflows and operational review processes incorporating risk assessment and escalation management aligned with KYC/AML standards—building a compliant operational framework from the ground up. I bring strong analytical, research, and communications skills, with immediate availability in Dubai.
