Job Description:
We are hiring an AML Compliance Assistant to support our anti-money laundering operations in Frankfurt am Main. This role provides administrative and investigative assistance to the AML team in ensuring adherence to legal and regulatory requirements. You will be responsible for collecting and reviewing customer documentation, assisting with suspicious transaction monitoring, and helping maintain up-to-date AML records and reports.
Your day-to-day tasks will include screening customers against sanction and watch lists, helping prepare internal reports, and assisting in escalations for further review. You will also play a part in ensuring timely customer onboarding and periodic reviews by supporting the Know Your Customer (KYC) and Customer Due Diligence (CDD) processes.
This is an entry-level to mid-level opportunity, ideal for someone looking to grow a career in compliance and gain firsthand experience in financial crime prevention.
Job Requirement:
Candidates should hold a bachelor’s degree in finance, law, business administration, or a related discipline. Prior experience (1–2 years) in AML, compliance, or customer onboarding within a financial institution is desirable but not mandatory for strong freshers.
A basic understanding of AML regulations, including EU AML directives, FATF guidelines, and BaFin requirements, is expected. Familiarity with transaction monitoring software and KYC tools is a plus.
You should have excellent organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills. Attention to detail and discretion when handling confidential data are essential.
Fluency in English is required, and German language proficiency will be considered an advantage.
