Location: London, UK (hybrid);
Company: Navro - Pioneering the Future of Payments
Sanctions/AML Analyst Role
This role is not a “sit in the back and wait for alerts”. We are looking for a motivated, detail‑oriented individual to join our growing team in the UK in a unique hybrid role of Sanctions/AML monitoring and Payment Operations. It is a growth position that will give you training and mentorship to eventually progress into complex KYB and Financial Crime investigations. You will be on the front lines ensuring that people get paid accurately and securely.
What this role demands:
* You own the flow – you are accountable for ensuring payments are compliant and successful. If a payment is stuck you fix it.
* You are the first line – you analyse alerts for real suspicious behaviour and potential financial crime.
* You handle the pressure – you cover peak operational hours balancing high alert volumes with tight payment processing timelines.
* You are hands‑on – you work deeply in the data, identifying trends in failed transactions or validating screening matches.
* You are here for the journey – you are ready to learn, grow, and pivot from basic monitoring to complex financial crime investigations.
Responsibilities
* Sanctions & AML Monitoring: Review real‑time transaction alerts for potential Sanctions, PEP, or Adverse Media matches.
* Payment Operations: Monitor payment flows to ensure timely processing and investigate any stuck or failed transactions.
* Screening & Due Diligence: Perform initial Customer Due Diligence (CDD) on clients and beneficiaries using industry‑standard tools.
* Alert Investigation: Analyse suspicious behaviour and manage the escalation lifecycle to senior compliance members.
* Communication: Coordinate with internal stakeholders and external banking partners to resolve payment queries.
* Process Improvement: Suggest ways to make our operations faster, safer, and more efficient.
Qualifications
You may not possess every single required skill listed, and that’s perfectly fine. If you have most of them, along with grit, passion, a desire to learn quickly, and the willingness to get stuck in, we encourage you to apply.
* Experience: 1+ years of experience in AML/KYC, Sanctions screening, or Back‑office Operations. Fintech or Banking experience is a major plus.
* Tool Ninja: Familiarity with transaction monitoring and screening software.
* Detail‑Obsessed: You can spot a suspicious name variation or a mismatched payment reference at a glance.
* Problem Solver: Strong analytical skills and a solid understanding of how money moves globally.
* Communication: Ability to coordinate effectively with banking partners and internal teams under pressure.
* Growth Mindset: A proactive professional who is ready to take ownership and level up their compliance career.
Work Schedule
* Shift Pattern: Rotating shifts covering 07:00 to 22:00 GMT.
Benefits
* 26 days of annual leave (excluding Bank holidays)
* Volunteering & Compassionate leaves
* Maternity and Paternity leaves
* Private Healthcare
* Company Options Scheme
* Team socials
* Comprehensive, interactive & engaging Training – Leadership, Communication and Presentation Skills, Behavioural Profiling, Conflict Management, etc.

* Working in a diverse and inclusive environment where we ensure that our people thrive
