An exciting job opportunity has arisen for an Onboarding Compliance Analyst to join our Onboarding Compliance & Assurance team in Plymouth. The position is offered on a fixed-term basis of 18 months.

The Onboarding Compliance & Assurance team, which forms part of our Risk and Best Practice team, works in collaboration with the business and undertakes KYC, anti-money laundering and conflict checks as part of the client onboarding process and in line with legislation and regulatory requirements.

 What will you be doing?

This job will see you assisting partners and other members of the firm with the new client and new instruction onboarding processes. Day to day you'll be conducting & analysing conflict of interest searches, collating KYC and client due diligence documents from a variety of sources, performing ongoing client monitoring and sanctions checks, escalating AML and conflict issues to specialists or managers and recording information for compliance and auditing.  You will also be speaking to legal teams and clients to request further information as required.  There is a great deal to learn but, as mentioned, the rest of the team will be on hand to train and guide you through. It's a fantastic opportunity to learn new skills and develop existing ones.
