About the role

The Ongoing Due Diligence (ODD) Analyst plays a critical role in ensuring ongoing Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and compliance standards for business customers through periodic and event-driven reviews.

• Perform PEP and Sanctions screening for all relevant corporate entities, UBOs, directors, and associated parties using internal screening tools and external databases.
• Identify, review, and escalate potential sanctions matches, PEP hits, and adverse media in alignment with internal escalation procedures.
• Conduct comprehensive research using public information sources, commercial databases, and internal systems to detect adverse media, regulatory actions, fraud exposure, or other red flags.
• Update and validate all KYB documentation, ensuring it meets regulatory and internal risk management requirements.
• Produce clear, concise, and well-structured ODD reports summarizing findings, risk assessments, and recommendations for approval or further investigation.
• Maintain complete and accurate audit trails of investigative steps, documentation updates, and decision-making rationale.
• Work closely with Compliance, Sanctions, QA, and Risk teams to ensure reviews align with regulatory expectations and internal policies.
• Contribute to process improvements and control enhancements that strengthen continuous monitoring and customer risk management.
• Support thematic reviews to identify evolving typologies, emerging risks, or patterns across the business client portfolio.

• Solid understanding of AML regulations, sanctions regimes, PEP frameworks, adverse media methodologies, and business-related red flags.
• High attention to detail and strong organizational discipline and consistent documentation discipline.

Skills

• Knowledge of AML regulations, sanctions regimes, PEP frameworks, adverse media methodologies, and business-related red flags.
• Ability to conduct thorough research using public information sources, commercial databases, and internal systems.
