KYC & TM Analyst (Part-Time)

About us

Velocity is revolutionising the global financial landscape by unifying fiat and digital assets through newly regulated stablecoin technology. We are addressing some of the most significant inefficiencies in global payments, from the limitations of SWIFT to the inherent cost and delay of cross-border transactions.

With a founding team of proven payment industry executives, this is a company built on a foundation of expertise and vision. The founders bring a wealth of leadership experience across finance, and offer a safe pair of hands for the business’s growth, setting the stage for long-term success with a clear focus on sustainable, scalable growth. Their strategic insights and unwavering commitment to innovation will drive Velocity forward, helping to reshape the future of global payments and digital finance.

We will offer a seamless solution to manage payments, treasury functions and liquidity in real-time, operating 24/7/365, enabling businesses to enable global payouts and cross-border settlements in digital assets (e.g. USDC, USDT, PYUSD), facilitate (stablecoin powered) cross-border transactions with unprecedented speed and efficiency and unify treasury management systems for fiat and digital assets.

Backed by robust partnerships, including strategic collaborations with major financial technology providers like Fireblocks, we will become a leading provider of global financial operations. Our regulatory-first approach will ensure compliance and trust, paving the way for sustainable and scalable growth.

About the role

Working closely with the Head of Compliance and MLRO, you will conduct CDD & EDD on corporate clients, and play an active role in our transaction monitoring function - covering both traditional fiat flows and on-chain crypto activity.

This is a hands-on role with real scope - well suited to someone specialising in compliance on a flexible basis.

What you'll do

KYC / due diligence

• Conduct CDD and EDD on corporate clients, including UBO identification and beneficial ownership mapping

• Review onboarding documentation: ID documents, proof of address, corporate registries, source of funds and wealth evidence

• Maintain accurate, auditable records in our KYC case management system

Transaction monitoring

• Triage and investigate off-chain TM alerts generated by our payments monitoring system identifying patterns such as structuring, layering, and unusual velocity

• Triage and investigate on-chain TM alerts produced by blockchain analytics tooling (Chainalysis KYT, Elliptic, or TRM Labs), assessing wallet risk scores, exposure to high-risk counterparties (mixers, darknet markets, sanctioned addresses), and tracing fund flows across chains

• Distinguish between genuine risk and false positives, applying documented rationale to alert dispositions

• Escalate confirmed or suspected suspicious activity as SARs

• Contribute to the tuning of alert scenarios and thresholds in collaboration with the compliance and data teams

• Identify emerging typologies specific to crypto payments - including cross-chain bridging abuse, NFT wash trading proceeds, and peer-to-peer off-ramp risk

What we're looking for

• 4+ years of KYC/AML experience in a regulated environment

• comfortable with corporate KYC including complex ownership structures, familiar with EU AML directives and FATF recommendations

• able to write clear SAR narratives and risk assessments

• prior exposure to crypto and experience with blockchain analytics tools (Chainalysis, Elliptic, TRM Labs)

Flexible scheduling within the 20h/week framework, competitive salary.
