A market-leading northern legal practice have an excellent opportunity for a Risk and Compliance Analyst in a hybrid role based out of their thriving Leeds office. In order to apply for this position, candidates must have experience of KYC/AML/CDD work from within an existing legal environment (private practice or in-house). Unfortunately, this position will not be appropriate for candidates who are currently working in a financial services environment and, therefore, any such applications will not be considered. This role will involve the successful candidate identifying / evaluating AML/KYC requirements as my client looks to seriously build up its client base as part of their growth strategy. Of particular importance for this role will be for candidates to have a good working knowledge of KYC/AML/CDD and sanctions, and applicants must be particularly keen to continue building a career in compliance. As a rough indication as to the level of experience my client is looking for, candidates with 3 years' experience who meet the above criteria will be of particular interest. However, applicants with 2 years' experience should also consider applying. The attributes and skills that my client is looking for from candidates for this role include: * A good and advanced understanding of KYC and AML regulatory obligations; * An ability to be adaptable and work towards multiple deadlines; * Strong organisational, communication and teamwork skills; and * A real and demonstrable enthusiasm for a career in compliance. My client would expect the successful candidate to attend its Leeds office 2 times a week (located 10 minutes' walk away from Leeds Train Station). There are some great benefits associated with working for my client, some of which include an enhanced pension scheme, life assurance, the opportunity to buy and sell holidays and an Employee Assistance Programme.
