The company delivers scalable, secure, and high-performance online payment solutions to e-commerce businesses worldwide. With over 15 years of success, a skilled technology-driven team of 20+ professionals, and advanced integrations including Payment Cards, Google Pay, Apple Pay, Open Banking, and other Alternative Payment Methods, they have earned a strong reputation as a trusted partner for merchants seeking innovative and reliable payment services.

Responsibilities:


• Be the go-to person for client onboarding – running CDD/EDD checks, validating corporate structures, UBOs, and making sure risk scoring is spot on.


• Conduct sanctions, PEP, and adverse media screening, and escalate confirmed matches.


• Coordinate enhanced due diligence for complex clients, including source of wealth/funds and high-risk geographies, preparing decision memos for MLRO sign-off.


• Review and investigate transaction monitoring alerts, document findings, and escalate potential STRs to the MLRO.


• Oversee daily sanctions screening processes, manage list updates, and ensure accurate handling of alerts.


• Conduct periodic reviews of client files, ensuring information and documentation remain up to date and aligned with risk-based review cycles.


• Act as a subject matter expert (SME) for onboarding and transaction monitoring, supporting the team with complex cases and regulatory interpretation.


• Maintain and update AML/CTF procedures and ensure documentation and recordkeeping requirements are consistently met.


• Work closely with the MLRO to design, review, and update transaction monitoring rules, ensuring they remain effective, risk-based, and aligned with evolving client activity.


• Provide mentorship and guidance to AML/CTF Officers, assisting with complex cases and acting as their escalation point.


• Recommend and support process and tooling improvements to strengthen AML/CTF controls.

Requirements:


• 2–3 years of hands-on AML/CTF, compliance, or financial crime experience - ideally in a fintech, EMI, MSB, or PSP environment.


• Proven experience with legal-entity onboarding/underwriting, CDD/EDD, transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, and periodic reviews.


• A sharp analytical mindset with great communication and drafting skills (you can turn complex investigations into clear case files and escalation notes).


• Adaptable and resilient — able to explain and stand by your recommendations, while working collaboratively to see tasks through to completion.


• Experience with AML/CTF regulation in Canada and/or the EU is highly desirable.


• AML certifications like CAMS, ICA, or similar are a bonus — but what matters most is the ability to get things done in a fast-moving environment.

The Employer offers:


• Competitive monthly salary between EUR Gross (depending on the interview results)


• A modern office in Riga with hybrid working options.


• A comprehensive social benefits package, including health insurance, sport, lunch and parking coverage.


• Clear career growth path and continuous professional development in a dynamic FinTech environment.
