What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to grow in compliance and KYC operations, where I can apply my skills in a dynamic environment and contribute to organizational success.

My name is Sehan Kesara Amarakeerthi, and I am currently working as an Executive in KYC Operations at the London Stock Exchange Group. I have a strong foundation in KYC processes, having conducted core and full KYC for new client onboardings, and I excel at requesting necessary information from clients and relationship managers. My role involves chasing clients for pending KYC documents and conducting periodic reviews to ensure compliance with regulations.

Prior to my current position, I gained valuable experience as a KYC Operations Intern, where I performed KYC research and participated in significant projects aimed at identifying sanctioned entities. My internship experience also includes contributions to various operational projects, such as managing raw material costs and creating Standard Operating Procedures for efficient stock management. I am passionate about enhancing my skills and contributing to organizational objectives through a programmatic approach.
