## Job description

About us:

BVNK is the stablecoin-powered financial stack for enterprises. We're now part of Mastercard, and together we're building a network for every form of money – one that delivers more reach, more capability and more choice.

We enable businesses to build financial products, unlock new markets, and move money in seconds across 130+ countries, with 40+ licenses for fiat and digital assets globally. Processing billions annually, we empower enterprises worldwide to send, receive, convert, and settle stablecoins and fiat seamlessly through a single integration.

Our mission is to accelerate global money movement, and we're assembling a world-class team to make it happen.

Trusted by industry leaders like Corpay, Worldpay, Deel, and Flywire, we deliver the infrastructure that makes new forms of money usable within the financial systems customers already rely on today.

By combining Mastercard's global payment reach and trusted networks with BVNK's stablecoin infrastructure, we're building the trusted operating layer for the evolution of money movement, helping customers participate in emerging digital networks without having to rebuild their businesses around every new innovation.

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.

We're incredibly honored to have been recognized by:

- CNBC World's Top Fintech Companies (2026)
- FXC Intelligence Top 100 Cross-border Payment Companies (2026)
- Newsweek's The Top 100 Global Most Loved Workplaces (three years running, most recently 2025)
- LinkedIn as one of the Top 20 Startups in the UK (2025)

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.
