Senior Financial Crime Intelligence Analyst - Crypto

About us:

We believe the next generation of financial services will be powered by stablecoins.

Founded in 2021, our mission at BVNK is to accelerate global money movement.

We’re building stablecoin-native infrastructure so businesses can move value instantly across borders and networks. With global licenses and T1 bank partnerships, we facilitate billions in transactions for enterprise clients like Worldpay, Deel, LianLian Global, and Rapyd.

Our technology is transforming how businesses operate globally by eliminating payment delays, reducing costs, and unlocking trapped capital. 

We’re a diverse team spread across EMEA, North America, and APAC, with a shared belief that stablecoins are the new infrastructure layer for financial services, and that BVNK is at the forefront of this shift.

In 2025, we secured strategic investment from Visa, following our $50 million Series B with Haun Ventures, Coinbase Ventures, Scribble Ventures, DRW Venture Capital, Avenir, and Tiger Global. With the backing of these leading investors, we’re accelerating our growth – and we're looking for smart, ambitious people to help us build the future of financial services.

We're incredibly honored to have made Newsweek's list of The Top 100 Global Most Loved Workplaces three years running (most recently in 2025) and to have been recognised by LinkedIn as one of the Top 20 Startups in the UK in 2024.

About this role in the team:

We are currently looking for a Senior Crypto Analyst to join our fast growing FCI team

As a Senior Financial Crime Intelligence Analyst, you'll play a key role in handling screening and transaction monitoring alerts to prevent bad actors from processing transactions through BVNK. You’ll also conduct in-depth analysis and thorough investigations to address complex and varied financial crime threats. You’ll be taking ownership of cases triggered by BVNK’s financial crime systems and controls, focussing primarily on BVNK’s digital assets offering, and mitigating financial crime risks for BVNK. While this role focuses on BVNK’s digital assets offering, your cases will inevitably crossover with the world of fiat currency and you’ll have the opportunity to support cutting-edge investigations in fiat and digital assets.

We are seeking a candidate who can commit to a full-time schedule working from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. (CEST).

We are looking for a team player; someone who is adaptable and enjoys solving complex problems in a constantly changing environment. You must be adept at managing competing priorities, and work well in a highly demanding environment. You will be comfortable delivering high quality investigations at pace, and presenting your findings and recommendations to senior stakeholders.

As a Senior Financial Crime Intelligence Analyst, your day-to-day role will be varied, but will include tasks such as:

• Reviewing of sanctions and watchlist screening alerts on entities and individuals on relevant lists;
• Management of end-to-end financial crime investigations stemming from BVNK’s transaction monitoring system, Trade Surveillance, payment screening tools, blockchain analytics provider, and other triggers;
• Identify opportunities to improve workflows and business processes through the effective use of AI tools and automation;
• Receiving escalations from, and providing coaching to, more junior team members;
• Drafting of Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) for submission to the relevant authorities;
• Working closely with colleagues responsible for BVNK’s transaction monitoring systems; identifying and testing changes to the rules in our transaction monitoring system;
• Seeking out and escalating opportunities to enhance BVNK’s control environment.

We’d love to hear from you if:

• You have at least 3 years’ experience in crypto transaction monitoring within a regulated institution or digital assets setting. Experience in a B2B context is essential, as we are primarily a B2B business. Familiarity with B2C environments is a plus, and experience across both crypto and fiat transaction monitoring environments would be advantageous;
• You have experience reviewing sanctions and watchlist screening alerts, within a regulated institution or digital asset setting;
• You have experience using tools such as Chainalysis, Elliptic, or TRM (or equivalent). Any blockchain related investigative certifications are desirable but not required;
• Experience leveraging AI tools and technologies to streamline processes, automate routine tasks, and drive operational improvements;
• Strong knowledge of AML/CTF regulations, financial crime typologies, and risk-based compliance frameworks is required;
• Knowledge of Trade Surveillance would be an asset;
• You’ve drafted and submitted Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs);
• You’re a motivated and proactive individual contributor, who takes pride in the quality of your work;
• You’re comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving and demanding environment, often with competing priorities;
• You’re happy working with a high degree of autonomy and managing evolving priorities to deliver against the team's strategy;
• You have an interest in digital assets, and are looking for an opportunity to expand your knowledge in this space; 
• You have exceptional written and verbal English;

What you can expect from us:

• Fair and competitive salary at every stage of your growth
• Flexible working hours, with hybrid working at its heart
• A culture built on passionate growth-minded people
• A flexible approach to holiday
• Opportunities to travel to our offices around the world
• An open and creative environment where you can help us define the future of BVNK, its culture, and its opportunity sets

At BVNK, we are focused on building a diverse and inclusive team. While you may not meet all of our requirements, we’d encourage you to apply if you meet the majority of our expectations. You may be a great fit for this role or another role in our team.
