Apply nowAre you ready to make a significant impact in combating financial crime within a fintech environment?

At Pleo, we firmly believe that trust and innovation are built upon a secure financial environment. As our company continues to expand, we are looking for an exceptional Financial Crime Systems Analyst to assess our tools, analyse data, and expertly present findings to ensure our software suppliers in Customer Operations effectively balance compliance with our requirements, both in the UK and EU, as well as performance.

This position offers the chance to direct our efforts in mitigating financial crime risks, particularly by evaluating and optimising the tools and systems we use for processes like customer onboarding, identity verification, and sanctions screening.

You will have unique opportunities to contribute your deep knowledge of financial crime and customer onboarding within a fintech setting while striving to enhance our approach to systems assurance. We use a broad range of systems throughout the 1st Line of Defence, such as Moody’s Analytics products, Onfido and Trulioo, among others.

If you have a passion for analysing data with precision, evaluating tools critically, and producing insights grounded in evidence, paired with mastery in effectively presenting findings to stakeholders, we invite you to apply!

What you’ll be doing (non-exhaustive):

• Conduct deep analysis and thorough assessments of tools and vendor services used within FinCrime, ensuring they meet critical operational requirements.
• Evaluate and interpret data from vendor systems with precision to assess compliance and performance efficacy, providing actionable insights.
• Design and implement advanced testing methodologies to verify vendor performance and compliance with AML/CTF and broader financial crime requirements.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure that vendor technologies align with onboarding operations.
• Actively monitor, measure, and analyse vendor performance metrics, identifying gaps or areas for improvement.
• Recommend adjustments to system configurations to ensure we’re making the most of the products we purchase to streamline financial crime compliance.
• Effectively communicate results of assurances made to technical and non-technical stakeholders, with a focus on presenting complex matters in an accessible, compelling format.

You’ll thrive in this role if you have:

• Expertise in financial crime prevention and customer onboarding processes, particularly within the fintech domain.
• At least 3 years of hands-on experience in B2B due diligence/KYC processes and vendor assurance.
• Proven ability to critically assess FinCrime tools and technologies, paired with analytical rigor in interpreting data from these systems.
• A strong grasp of AML/CTF legislation, FinCrime regulations, and a proactive attitude toward staying updated on emerging threats, innovations, and regulatory trends.
• A methodical mindset that drives prioritisation, task planning, and the ability to effectively handle varying and high workloads under deadlines.
• Experience in managing multiple projects simultaneously with accountability.
• Curiosity about AI and direct experience applying AI tools in FinCrime operations (desirable).
• Advanced communication skills to effectively present findings and implement recommendations across stakeholders, both technical and non-technical.
• A forward-thinking, proactive attitude that challenges the status quo and seeks innovative solutions.

This role is perfect for someone with analytical proficiency, deep technical knowledge of tools in FinCrime, and exceptional presentation skills. You'll have the autonomy to shape the direction of our financial crime tooling ecosystem and make a profound impact in creating a streamlined onboarding experience for our customers.

Why join us?

Working at Pleo means you're working on something very exciting: the future of work. Our mission is to help every company go beyond the books. Pleo itself means ‘more than you’d expect’, and it’s been the secret to our success over the last 8 years. So it’s only fitting that we’d pass this philosophy onto our customers to help them make the most of their finances.

We think company spending should be delegated to all employees and teams, that it should be as automated as possible, and that it should drive a culture of responsible spending. Finance teams shouldn’t be siloed from the rest of the organisation – they should work in unity with marketing, sales, IT and everyone else.

Speaking of working in unity, our values tell the story of how we work at Pleo. We have four core values, the first of which is ‘champion the customer’, which means we address real pain points that businesses face. Next up is ‘succeed as a team’, which highlights how our strength lies in our diversity and trust in each other. We also ‘make it happen’ by taking bold decisions and following through to deliver results. Last but not least, we ‘build to scale’, creating lasting solutions that address today’s challenges and anticipate tomorrow’s needs.

So, in a nutshell, that's Pleo. Today we are a 850+ team, from over 100 nations, sitting in our Copenhagen HQ, London, Stockholm, Berlin, Madrid, Montreal and Lisbon offices —and quite a few full-time remotes in 35 other countries! Being HQ'd out of Copenhagen means we're inspired by things like a good work-life balance. If you don't work in the office with us, we'll help you set up the best remote setup possible and make sure you still have time to connect with your team.
