We are working with a global law firm to hire a Compliance Analyst in London. This role spans conflicts of interest clearance, anti-money laundering, and international sanctions screening.

The firm is looking for a detail-oriented professional with at least one year of experience within a legal risk and compliance function, paired with a keen interest in developing a long-term career in professional risk management.

• Escalating high-risk conflict and financial crime scenarios through designated internal routes to the General Counsel and risk leadership.
• Designing, implementing, and maintaining robust information barriers to safeguard sensitive client confidentiality.
• Researching complex corporate structures using specialised data providers and public registries to identify ultimate beneficial owners.
