Risk Analyst, AML

In this role, your day will balance hands-on AML operations with shaping how things work behind the scenes. You’ll spend time reviewing onboarding cases, working through screening alerts (sanctions, PEP and adverse media), and assessing KYB outcomes. Especially where corporate structures or beneficial ownership get complex. You’ll manage your own queue, prioritising tasks to meet service levels while making sound, risk-based decisions. When something doesn’t look right, you’ll dig deeper, apply judgement, and escalate where needed.

Alongside this, you’ll help improve how the work gets done. You might document a new workflow, refine a process, or contribute to testing (UAT) to make sure systems and controls are working as expected before go-live. You’ll work closely with colleagues across Risk, Product, Technology and Operations, sharing insights, resolving issues, and helping ensure processes remain practical, compliant and easy to follow. Over time, you’ll start to spot patterns, identify opportunities for improvement, and play a key role in making our AML capability stronger and more efficient.

This role exists to support and strengthen PEXA Clear’s AML/CTF capability, combining operational delivery with process design and continuous improvement. You’ll help translate regulatory requirements into practical workflows, while also ensuring day-to-day AML activities are executed accurately and efficiently. We’re looking for someone who brings a balance of operational expertise and curiosity. Someone who enjoys both doing the work and improving how it’s done.
