Financial Crime at Capital on Tap

What You'll Be Doing
As a Financial Crime Investigator, you will be on the front line of risk prevention and detection. You will:
* Conduct enhanced due diligence (EDD) on SME customers in both the UK and US, with a focus on Know Your Business (KYB) requirements during onboarding and throughout the customer lifecycle.
* Independently scrutinize and assess complex ownership structures, including layered entities, trusts, offshore elements, and nominee arrangements, ensuring decisions align with Capital on Tap's risk appetite.
* Investigate high-risk or suspicious activity by analysing corporate structures, customer profiles, and behaviour to identify and mitigate red flags and indicators of financial crime.
* Engage directly with customers, when needed, to clarify business activities, ownership, or source of funds/wealth.
* Make sound, risk-based decisions based on available information and documented rationale.
* Assess and document Source of Funds (SoF) and Source of Wealth (SoW) where appropriate.
* Handle Transaction Monitoring alerts and escalations in line with established procedures, ensuring both quality and timeliness are met.
* Prepare Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) for internal approval and external submission to relevant authorities (NCA, FINCEN).
* Act as a subject matter expert for financial crime escalations, providing support across the wider FinCrime team and business.
* Support continuous improvement by sharing insights on emerging financial crime typologies and contributing to enhancements in monitoring, onboarding, and ongoing review processes.
We're Looking For
Required skills:
* 4+ years of experience in financial crime roles, specifically with enhanced due diligence (EDD) responsibilities for SME corporate customers in the UK and US.
* Strong understanding of KYB regulatory requirements and expectations across both jurisdictions.
* Demonstrated ability to independently review and analyse complex ownership structures, including trusts, offshore vehicles, and multi-layered entities, and make risk-based decisions in line with company risk appetite.
* Strong analytical, investigative, and report-writing skills with clear documentation of findings.
* Exceptional attention to detail and the ability to work efficiently in a high-volume, fast-paced environment.
* Confident communicator, capable of explaining complex decisions to both internal stakeholders and external customers.
* Comfortable proactively raising questions and identifying areas for improvement.
Desirable skills:
* A recognised AML or Financial Crime qualification (e.g., ICA, ACAMS) is a plus, but not essential.
